Is it 60 bpm/s ? > no, it's 60/bpm you know bpm means "beats per minute", so the duration of a beat is: 60 (seconds in a minute) --- bpm (number of beats in a minute) at a metronome marking of 60, each beats is a second long (60/60). the higher the mm, the shorter each beat: for mm=120 each beat is 0.5 seconds (60/120); for lower mm, beats are longer, for mm=40 each beat is 1.5 seconds (60/40)
