120 divides 60,000 exactly, making it a clear example of which rhythmic values terminate and which remain exact repeating fractions.
Quarter note: 500 ms
60,000/120=500 ms exactly, which is 0.5 seconds and 2 Hz.
Dotted eighth: 375 ms
500×1/2×3/2=375 ms exactly. The note multiplier and dot multiplier remain separate and visible.
Eighth triplet: 500/3 ms
500×1/2×2/3=500/3 ms. The interface shows approximately 166.667 ms but keeps the exact fraction for hertz and the table.
Check the destination before copying
Use 500 ms only when the destination represents a quarter-note cycle. For a dotted-eighth delay, copy 375 ms; for an eighth-note triplet, copy the rounded value the device accepts while retaining 500/3 ms as the reference. A control with coarse steps may display a nearby value, so verify the audible repeat against the project grid.
