What 130 BPM feels like
130 BPM is 2.17 beats per second. In the Italian tempo terms musicians use, this is Allegro, which means “fast and bright”.
Music often played around this tempo: pop, rock, house, techno.
Producers use these lengths to time delay effects. For the classic rhythmic echo at 130 BPM, set the delay to the dotted-eighth value.
A steady 130 BPM click (Allegro) keeps your timing even while you practise a passage at exactly this speed.
How to use it
