How the timing works

A dit is one unit. A dah is three. Gaps are one unit between the parts of a letter, three between letters, and seven between words. That is the whole system.

Words per minute

Speed is measured against the word PARIS, which is exactly fifty units long. At 20 wpm you send it twenty times a minute, so a dit lasts 60 millisecond.

Farnsworth

Set the overall speed lower than the character speed and the letters stay quick while the gaps stretch. It is how most people learn: your ear gets used to the real shape of a letter instead of learning a slow one it has to unlearn later. The extra time is split between letters and words the way the ARRL specifies.

The MIDI file

A dit is written as a sixteenth note and a dah as a dotted eighth, at 480 ticks per quarter note, with a tempo chosen so the real duration matches the speed you picked. Import it and the dots and dashes land on the grid.
