TRY THIS:
Td = 60E3/BPM
example: A pop song @ 120BPM
Td= 60E3/120 = 500 mS = 0.5 S

Ya can play with regeneration/feedback setting also.

If ya want deeper/shorter delays, try out some multiples:
125mS
Hope it helped ya!

Alecio,

Thanks so much for taking the trouble to answer the question. Could you please write it in normal English(sorry never went to Princeton)? I am abit confused.

What is TD? Is it Delay Time? Also what is 60E3 and how do you get 500 milliseconds by dividing it by 120 beat per minute?

Also the bit about shorter delays is a bit over my head. More detailed help will be appreciated.

Thanks :roll:

(Dead Link Removed)

If you don't like mathematics:

Time ten bars with a stopwatch, then divide that reading by 40. You'll get quarter note delay.

:) Buz, If you want to PM me your e-mail, I will send you a tempo to delay time conversion table.

Thanks Rick,

I actually followed the link given above and read something about the free Delay Calculator which I have downloaded. So, I am aright now. When I was at School my Math teacher thought I was the dumbest thing he had ever see, while every other teacher thought I was a genius.

:) Hey, we are ALL genius, eh? Funny thing about processor makers. They say that you can tear up your conversion charts, for the box will do it for you...well maybe on a few things, but not all, LOL! :D

--Rick

normal english?lol
lots of efx boxes already calculate that once you type the song BPM and you efine the sound figure.
No need for looking at tables and so.
td = delay time

Have you tried midi clock? I use it a lot when I setup a timed delay for certain material.

I have a delay calculator, software prog that is easy to use, makes life simple. If you are on mac email me and i will send it to you. I am sure there is a windows one as well, do a search and you will find one.

Thanks Mate,

I have already downloaded a PC version.

easiest way to do it is 60,000/tempo

ie. 60000/120= 500.00 ms

-Mark

hey shine, look above
I had just written that brother
lol

Buzain, 60E3 means 60 x 10,000 = 60,000 or 60e3.
E=exponencial from math ok?

so 60,000/120 = 500ms = 0.5 seconds = 500E-3=1/2 second

Hope it helped ya brother

Alecio, I may be wrong but I always thought E=mc(2)???? :D :D :s:

hahahahaa
VL = L. di/dt
IL = 1/L Integer VL.dt
Ic = C. dq/dt
Z = R +-jx
x = Xl=-Xc
H(s) = 1/ 1+sRC

wow, lots of math msturbation
:)

Alecio-

I saw your post, just wanted to simplify it. It sounded like some people didn't realize what the E3 thing meant.

-Mark

Yeah, I never heard of E3. Is that an engineer thing or a Brazilian thing? Unfortunately, I'm neither!

I've heard of 60,000 though!

Thanks for translating! :h:

you´re wellcomed guys!
Just to remember. with some electronic calculators, ya shall see the E3, so as to save some zeroes in the read out. Why type 100,000 if you can type 100E3?

for example, 100kHz = 100,000 Hz = 100,000cycles/second
2K2 = 2,200Hz = 2,200 cycles/second ok?

Just to help our young brother:

Also useful:
n = nano, means E-9
p = pico, means E-12
u = micro, means E-6
m = mili, means E-3
k =kilo, means E+3
M=mega, means E+6
T=Tera, means E+9

:)

Maybe This Could Help,

The formula that I can relate to is

60000 divided by BPM

therefore,

it should equal 500 ......

Hope this helps and does not hinder !.

Hi Guys,
New here and just thought I would lend an old trick to this thread.
What ever happened to "Listening" and "beat matching"??
You don't need to be a math expert to use your ears, it's a very easy thing to do.
Just play with the delay times until it locks-in, you will instantly recognize it!

Hope this helps,
Mike

BTW: This looks like a Great forum and I'm looking forward to sharing some info with everyone.

1.) Instantaneous voltage acros an inductor
2.) Instantaneous current through an inductor
3.) Complex impedance in rectangular coordinates
4.) What's this supposed to be,a point of resonace where inductive reactance equals capacitive reactance?
5.) Laplace Transform,or S domain,representaion of a first order transfer function.

Cool stuff!

Hi
this is from a site called AnalogX
its a calculator for delay tempos,,

http://www.analogx.com/contents/download/audio/delay.htm

the site also has other tools for audio

hope it works for you

S.I.

very off topic.. anyway, it is fun:

Z= R+/- jX

The impedance which can be:
Z= R + jXL
Z= R
Z= jXl
Z= R - jXC
Z= -jXC

XL= inductive reatance (delays current from Voltage by ..... degrees)
XC = Capacitive reactance (advances current from voltage by ... degrees)

END. ( The moderators will kick me out of this thread -lol)

At a specific frequency, XL and XC will cancel each other out since one is a function of f and the other is an inverse function of f. Also, because impedance is jXL and -jXC. Low impedance = high signal.

This is teh RESONANT FREQUENCY.

(The mod will kick both of us out at once. Because he has two feet)

yes,
XL= W.L
XC= 1/ W.C W=2Pi.F Pi = 3.1415....

Men, we are both crazy
it looks like old school days review!
2 feet and 2 hands kick off!

Alecio

In the original post,why did you pick the number 60,000 to divide the tempo with? Is that an arbitrary number based on experience, or is there some musical/mathematical basis for it?

Thanks
Johnny

Hi, Johny, it is a time based constant. I have read about its evaluation from a specialized book many years ago. A little long to show here at this moment, as I admit, I have been too off -topic
:)

Well, tempo = beats per minute. There are 60,000 miliseconds in a minute.

To find the delay you want, you take the inverse of tempo. That would be 1/tempo (in minutes). And there are 60,000 miliseconds in a minute, so you get 60,000/tempo (in miliseconds).

Got it.

Thanks guys,this is an awesome forum.

At this moment Falkon and I have already been sent to the moon.
