The Key Original function allows you to change the tempo without changing the pitch (key).

The Key Original function can also be turned on and off in the Setup menu under the KEY ORIG item.

NOTE

The Key Original function cannot be used when the tempo range is set to ±100%. Setting the tempo range to ±100% automatically turns off the Key Original function.

The Key Original function cannot be used when the TT-M1 is on. Turning on the TT-M1 automatically turns off the Key Original function.

Turn the Key Original function on and off by press- ing the TEMPO/KEY ORIG key while holding down the SHIFT key.

The K.ORIG indicator appears on the display when the Key Original function is on.

Pitch bend function

Pitch bend temporarily speeds up or slows down the playback speed and changes the playback pitch (if the Key Original function is turned off).

Use the Setup menu SRCH KEY item to set whether the pair of SEARCH keys or the JOG dial controls pitch bend.

The Maximum pitch bend is ±16%.

ªWhen set to SRCH:

The SEARCH keys are used for searching. Use the JOG dial for pitch bend. Turn it clockwise to speed up and counterclockwise to slow down playback.

Stop turning to return to the original speed (as adjusted by the tempo slider).

NOTE

When set to SRCH, the SEARCH keys function as normal search keys (see "Track search" on page 15). However, pressing a SEARCH key while hold- ing down the SHIFT key will cause pitch bend.

ªWhen set to BEND:

Use the SEARCH keys for pitch bend and the JOG dial for searching. Press and hold either key during playback to change the tempo. Release the key to restore the original playback tempo.

NOTE

When the Key Original function is on, bending the pitch will change the tempo, but not the pitch.
