Time Delay Calculator allows you to enter any tempo with as many decimal places as you need as well as a Tap Tempo feature. It incorporates 16 different note values from 1/1 to 1/32 triplets. Other features include automatic rounding of ms decimal place for easy data entry, time-saving key commands, a BPM preset menu, and an easy to use interface.
