Two figures in, a clear answer out. The delay and reverb calculator uses bar length mod, input your bpm…, note length mod, pre delay, pre-delay, preset, time signature, total delay/reverb duration and total delay/reverb duration to produce pre delay res1, pre delay res2 and pre delay res3, applying the standard relationship for this problem in the order the calculation actually needs it.
What Is the Delay and Reverb Calculator?
The delay and reverb calculator turns bar length mod, input your bpm..., note length mod, pre delay, pre-delay, preset, time signature, total delay/reverb duration and total delay/reverb duration into pre delay res1, pre delay res2 and pre delay res3.
It is a quick way to get from the numbers you have to the number you need, without setting up a spreadsheet or reaching for a formula.
How the Delay and Reverb Works
Each result follows from the ones before it, and the calculator shows every step, so a surprising answer can be traced back to the input that caused it.
Round your inputs to the precision you actually know, and keep more precision than that in the intermediate steps.
Getting a Result You Can Trust
Run the calculation twice with slightly different inputs. A sensible calculator moves its output in proportion; a wild change points to a unit or a decimal point problem in what you entered.
Write the inputs down next to the answer. It takes a moment and it is the difference between a number you can explain and one you cannot.
A Worked Example
Working through an example, with bar length mod set to 10, input your bpm... set to 5, note length mod set to 2, the calculator returns note length of 24,000, and bar length of 120,000, and pre delay res1 of add the values above. Substitute your own figures and the same steps produce the same kind of answer.
Frequently Asked Questions
What do I need to work out pre delay res1?
Enter bar length mod, input your bpm..., note length mod, pre delay, pre-delay, preset, time signature, total delay/reverb duration and total delay/reverb duration. The calculator then works through the relationship and reports pre delay res1, pre delay res2 and pre delay res3.
What does the delay and reverb actually calculate?
It takes bar length mod, input your bpm..., note length mod, pre delay, pre-delay, preset, time signature, total delay/reverb duration and total delay/reverb duration and converts them into pre delay res1, pre delay res2 and pre delay res3 using the standard relationship for this problem. Each step is applied in turn, so every output is traceable back to the numbers you typed in.
How should I enter bar length mod?
Use the value you actually have, in the unit shown next to the field. Enter every value in the same unit system. The calculator assumes the figures you supply are consistent, so it cannot correct a mistake that happens before the calculation starts.
Does anything you type get stored?
No. The whole calculation runs inside your browser, and nothing you enter is uploaded, logged or sent anywhere.
Do I have to fill in every field?
Only the fields a particular result depends on. If you leave one blank, the results that need it simply show a note instead of a number, and everything else still works.
