Working with bpm in Houdini

I am playing around with visuals that I would like to sync to a beat. In a simple scenario I have a sphere where I animate the scale of the sphere going from 0 to 1, when I mirror this in chops it keeps repeating, so far so good.

The tune is 94 bpm

When I calculate the amount of frames per beat I have 25*60/94 which is about 15.3 frames per beat.

The problem here is the .3, after a little while the beat is no longer.

What are the options here? Pitching the tune to a bpm that's 15 beats per frame would be one solution but what if I dont want to touch the tune, is there a way in Houdini to do it right?
