Where you hear 60.
60 BPM is one beat per second, the tempo of a clock and close to a resting heartbeat. Slow soul and R&B ballads live here, and so does the half-time feel of 120 BPM pop when a producer wants the drums to breathe.
One beat is 1,000 ms.
A 4/4 bar is 4 seconds. Every note value at 60 BPM, for delays, reverbs and anything that moves in time. Tap one to copy it.
