Dotted note denominations can be determined by using the following formula. Delay Time x 1.5 equals the dotted value. For example, 480ms, which is the quarter note 125 BPM delay from the previous example, times 1.5 equals 720ms. That's a dotted quarter note. For a triplet denomination, use this formula. Delay Time x .667 equals the triplet value. For example, 480ms, which is a quarter note 125 BPM delay, times .667 equals 320 ms or a quarter note triplet.
