What Is TheWhippinpost?
TheWhippinpost.co.uk is a UK music production resource site. Their Delay Time Calculator accepts a BPM value and generates delay times in milliseconds for various note values. It notably also shows Hz frequency values for LFO modulation effects, which is useful for syncing tremolo, vibrato, chorus, and phaser rates to your track's tempo.
It is a genuinely useful tool for the LFO Hz reference data. Where it falls short compared to BeatKey: no tap tempo, no copy-to-clipboard, and no reverb pre-delay calculation. The light theme also makes it harder to use in a dark studio setting.
Delay Times + LFO Hz Reference
Quarter note delay times, dotted 8th times, eighth note times, and quarter note LFO Hz rates (BPM / 60). All values are also available in the full BeatKey calculator with copy-to-clipboard.
