delay formulas



this was in the latest "guitar player" mag.....it may be helpful for thems 
that didnt know this (like me).............

note value................formula for note duration in milliseconds

quarter note....................60,000 divided by bpm = quarter note ms
eighth-note.....................quarter-note ms divided by 2
sixteenth-note.................  "        "      "       "       "  4
half-note.........................   "        "      "    X   2 
whole-note......................   "        "      "    X   4
dotted quarter-note..........   "         "      " + eight-note ms
dotted eight-note............. eight-note ms + sixteenth-note ms
quarter-note triplet........... half-note ms divided by 3
eight-note triplet.............. quarter-note ms divided by 3

i know we talked about this a bit ago, but i thought this chart might be 
helpful.........
btw, in a past post the "roctologists" spoke highly of the under-rated 
zoom 
2100, i could not stop myself from getting one from musicians friend for 
$99.00 and i must say that i got half that value out of it yesterday in my 
first venture into it, a lot-o-fun, the sounds on it are no great shakes 
but 
being able to have 3  5 sec. samples at your disposal is kind of 
neat........the "roctologists" were going to put a review of this beastie 
on 
the LD site, i hope they do so........it seems to be a fun little 
tool.......it is a bit limited, but what the hay, a little more spice for 
the 
loop soup.......more on this later, perhaps?................michael
