If it helps, here's my reasoning to find out the time value of 1 tick.

1. A tempo of (say) 110 bpm = 110 beats per 60 seconds.

2. This means that one beat = 60/110 seconds. (i.e. 60 divided by 110)

3. Since a beat in 4/4 = one 1/4th note this means that...

120 ticks = 60/110 seconds

Thus...

4. 1 tick = (60/110) divided by 120 seconds

This time could also be converted to milliseconds by multiply by 1,000.


So the general formula for calculation purposes would be...

5. length of 1 tick = (60/song tempo) divided by (number of ticks per beat)
[units = seconds].
