TEMPO01 / C03 / LAB
Change the pulse
The number changes. The space between beats changes with it. Change the BPM and listen to the distance between pulses in an original pattern.
120BPM
approximately 500 ms between pulses
60 BPM150 BPM
The same pulse. A different space.
BPM describes the rate of a reference pulse. Increasing BPM brings pulses closer together; decreasing BPM increases the space between them.
- 60 BPM
- approximately 1000 ms between pulses
- 90 BPM
- approximately 667 ms between pulses
- 120 BPM
- approximately 500 ms between pulses
- 150 BPM
- approximately 400 ms between pulses
C03
BPM counts the pulse. Your ears decide how that speed feels.
Listening continues in C04: what happens inside that space?
