The Speed key allows you to set the running speed in chasers and effects. To learn more about chasers, please have a look at [What are Chasers](/dot2/key_wi_chasers/) and [How to use Chasers](/dot2/key_ht_chasers/).

Pressing the Speed key enters the [Learn command](/dot2/key_keyword_learn/) into the command line. 

If you have a chaser or an effect, press and hold the Speed key while you tap any of the keys associated with the executor whit the chaser. This will set the chaser´s running speed to the BPM of your taps.

The Speed key can also be used to create five Special Masters.
