Tempo
How is this calculated?
– The tempo is a measure of beats per minute. To find out how much of minute each beat is, we take 1/tempo.
– We multiply by 60 to get our number into seconds.
– And then by 1000 to convert to milliseconds.
– Last we multiply this by the note length such as 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, etc.
