How it works: At 58.0% swing, every other 1/16 note is delayed by 17.14 ms, creating a subtle shuffle feel.

How it works

The formula to convert BPM to milliseconds is simple:

60,000 ms / BPM = ms per quarter note

Example: 60,000 / 140 = 428.57 ms

Dotted Notes

Multiply by 1.5 (150% of straight note value)

Triplet Notes

Multiply by 2/3 (66.67% of straight note value)
