Re: how do you work out notes per second...


o well this is how its done for me..

i did 4 notes per click...@ 165bpm..

so hmm heres the formula..

165 x 4/60= 11nps.

165 = BPM
4 = Notes per click
/60 = divided by 60 seconds cuz 1 min = 60 secs

hope that helps

Re: how do you work out notes per second...


I have an Excel file to help figure notes-per-second. I tried to display it here, but the tabs came out all screwed up, so I edited this post until I can figure out a way to post it properly.

Cheers,
Bert

That's only a question if you put a question mark on the end of it.

My top speed was (I don't know what it is now) 16ths at 240, which is the same as sextuplets at 160.

Formula;

BPM divided by (60/notes per beat)
