The scientific name of Morse code is - Morse code. In fact, Morse code is commonly used in military, aviation and navigation, but it seems that I have never heard of anyone applying it to the field of music.
When it comes to Morse code, the movie "Infernal Affairs" will immediately come to mind, because the reason for learning Morse code is because of this movie; when "Infernal Affairs" is mentioned, it will immediately come to mind. Thinking of Anthony Wong and Tony Leung Chiu-wai, I learned Morse code because I saw them using Morse code. When I mentioned Anthony Wong again, it reminded me of his song that impressed me deeply - "Meditation". Although there are not many people Like or pay attention to him, but he is a very talented and connotative creator... Some people started to scold me. What does this have to do with Morse code? What does it have to do with music and rhythm? What is the relationship between the two? What is the relationship between them?
After some "meditation", I found that they are closely related! In fact, Morse code is widely used in military, aviation and navigation, etc., but it seems that I have never heard anyone use it. When applied to the field of music, yes! It is the field of music... I don't mind if you treat me like a madman. In fact, Morse code can indeed be applied to music, and even music education. If you If you can master Morse code proficiently and apply it to music, after some time of practice, I think your progress in rhythm and note duration will be a breakthrough, and it will improve your reaction ability and creativity. , of course, the premise is that you must be very skilled in using Morse code... Up to this point, it is just a conjecture, I will try to give an example to prove it. The following is the Morse code of the word "rock": ".-. --- -.-. -.-". Morse code consists of short sounds and long sounds. Short sounds are represented by "." and long sounds are represented by "-". If the time value issue is not considered, you can Only the two symbols in the Morse code are represented by two different timbres of percussion sounds to form a set of rhythms; of course, you can also further inherit its long and short tone durations to get more complex rhythmic forms. I don't have it. Considering the time value, we use Bass drum to represent "." and Snare drum to represent "-" to form a Morse code percussion rhythm that represents "rock", but it can really create a unique rhythm effect. Don't try it. Try. The rhythm expressed by the Morse code of only one word "rock" is not simple. Just imagine, 26 letters plus some symbols, they all have their own structure, but these letter symbols are arranged in different orders or randomly. Combined together, you will get ever-changing rhythms...you can tap just by looking at an English sentence, or even an article!
There is no music score or drum score on it, you can You only need to know the Morse code of each symbol. Of course, you really need to be very proficient in the Morse code. This is a transitional and mixed application... Think about it again, no matter in the past war years The telegraph operators or today's aeronautical engineers, in addition to mastering the Morse code, they actually instinctively mastered and controlled the sense of time very thoroughly and accurately. I dare to say, tell them to practice one After weeks of percussion or drumming, they are probably already a percussion master or drummer. Regardless of the final results, I think they will learn faster and better than ordinary people. Can Morse code be used to educate or drum? Train music and rhythm, and rely on yourself to measure it. The world around you has actually passed countless Morse codes unconsciously every minute and every second... Of course, so does music... .--. --- --- -.. .-.. ..- -.-. -.-
The History of Morse Code
The earliest Morse Codes are dots and dashes that represent numbers. Numbers correspond to words, and you need to look up a code table to know the number corresponding to each word. Use one key to hit points, strokes, and pauses in between.
Although Morse invented the telegraph, he lacked the relevant expertise. He signed an agreement with Alfred Weir to help him build more practical equipment. Alfred Weir conceived a scheme whereby each character and punctuation mark could be sent independently of the other through dots, dashes and pauses in between. They reached an agreement and agreed to put this scheme of identifying different symbols into Morse's patent. This is now known as American Morse code, and it was used to transmit the world's first telegraph.
This code can be transmitted using a radio signal with a smooth and intermittent tone, often called a "continuous wave" (Continuous Wave), abbreviated as CW. It could be an electrical pulse in a telegraph wire, or it could be a mechanical or visual signal (such as a flash of light).
Generally speaking, any encoding method that can represent written characters as a variable-length signal can be called Morse code. But now the term is used to refer specifically to two types of Morse code that represent English letters and symbols: American Morse code, which was used in wired telegraph communication systems; and International Morse code, still in use today, uses only dots and dashes. (pause removed).
Telegraph companies charged according to the length of the letter to be sent. Commercial codes are carefully designed codes composed of five characters that are sent as one word. For example: BYOXO (Are you trying to crawl out of it?); LIOUY (Why do you not answer my question?, why not reply?); AYYLU (Not clearly coded, repeat more clearly., the coding is not clear, please repeat more clearly. cover). These five-character abbreviations can be sent individually using Morse code. In network lingo, we will also talk about some of the most commonly used Morse commercial codes. The Q abbreviations and Z abbreviations still used in amateur radio are: they were originally used to exchange information such as communication quality, frequency changes, telegram numbers, etc. between operators; and in the message ringtones of mobile phones, manufacturers The Morse code of the sentence "SMS (...---...)" will still be added, and Hong Kong's TVB, since its inception in 1967, will also play "NEWS TODAY" in the background music of every news report "audio.

Special discourse:
Attract the other party's attention and make them reply: (long·short· Long·Long·Short·Long)
The other party receives and replies the signal: (Long·Long)
The start command before sending the message (your own side, and prompts the other party to receive): (Long·Short·Long·Short·Long)
Make mistakes and correct them (let the other party know that you sent the wrong message): (Short·Short·Short·Short·Short·Short)
< p>End of sending message: (short·short·short·long·short)Symbol description: ● short sound (within one second); ■■■ long sound (more than 3 seconds); command whistle The sound interval is 2~3 seconds, and the interval between commands is more than 30 seconds (for example, the interval between repeated commands needs to be more than 30 seconds)
Communication (T): ■■■ (one long tone) used for the sound of the team Communication to determine the whistle direction between each other, and after receiving the whistle command, it means receiving the command (similar to shouting ~~~~~)
Assembly (U): ● ● ■■■ (Two short and one long) Gather in the direction of the whistle (similar to calling for gathering~~~~)
Forward (V): ● ■■■ (One short and one long) During rest If you send it out, it means the whole team is setting off. If you send it out during the march, it means speeding up (similar to shouting, rush~~~~)
The front team is waiting (W): ● ■■■ ■■■ (one short, two long) Used when the team is traveling too long, requiring the front team to wait for the back team (similar to saying please wait~~~wait~~~~)
Require support (S): ● ● ● (three short) It is sent when you encounter difficulties and need to ask for help. Those who receive the signal reply with a communication tone (T) to indicate that they will go to support (the same as saying urgent! urgent! urgent! Similar)
