Understanding BPM and Hertz

BPM (Beats Per Minute) measures the tempo of a piece of music, indicating how many beats occur in one minute. Hertz (Hz), on the other hand, measures frequency, indicating the number of cycles per second.

The relationship between BPM and Hertz is straightforward: Hertz is calculated by dividing the BPM value by 60. For example, a tempo of 120 BPM is equivalent to 2 Hz (120 / 60 = 2 Hz).
