Playback Controls [ Help ]

Morse | Flashcard | Speech | Bell | Speed Racer

Simulated Morse key

Playback style

Character /Chrcter Farnsworth

Play

Play starts playback (/ , Space or 0). With Repeat it will continue.

Next plays the next message (M). Move to the next with . or K.

VVV plays VVV to preview the CW tempo (V).

Play options

Repeat / Repeat-one plays new messages continuously or repeats the current message (L).

Random randomises the message choice (F).

Once each plays each message only once (O).

Message Modifier - modify the message in different ways

Build Up builds each message up, so e.g. NICE is preceded by N NI NIC or UP WE GO by UP UP WE (see help). Play the current message using Build Up with E.

Speed Racer boosts the initial speed by 50% and then repeats the message, stepping down the speed to your chosen values. Morse Repeat will play at the boosted speed if selected. Use the Speed Racer Controls to configure (see help).

Toggle the buttons to choose what sequence to play and show for each message:

Morse timing within a message is configured in the Morse Controls

Speed Racer Controls

Speed Racer lets you try copying at a higher speed than you are used to, and then gradually reduces the speed to a more comfortable one. Or you can start at a slower speed and gradually increase it.

You can choose to vary the character speed, Farnsworth speed, or both:

The table below shows the percentage speed change along with the character and Farnsworth speeds for each time the message will be played.

You can adjust the number of times the message is repeated (2 to 5), the maximum percentage change (-99% to +100%), and your base character and Farnsworth speeds:

Message speeds
Repeat	Percentage Change	Character Speed	Farnsworth Speed
	%



1	None

The Farnsworth Speed cannot go above the Character Speed: where the modified Farnsworth Speed has been limited by the Character Speed, it is shown in red.

Your advanced timing settings in Morse Controls mean that there is no simple Character Speed and/or Farnsworth Speed. The boosted speeds will use precise Character/Farnsworth speeds and the final play will use your custom settings.
