This function will increase or decrease a tracks playback speed or "PITCH," this is not a momentary change as in "PITCH BENDING" (see page 17). The maximum pitch bend percentage allowed is +/-16%. The PITCH SLIDER (21) is used to decrease or increase the playback pitch. If the slider is move up (towards the top of the unit) the pitch will decrease, if the slider is moved down (towards the bottom of the unit) the pitch will increase. The PITCH SLIDER (21) adjustment can be changed to range from +/-8%, +/-12%, or +/-16% (See changing "PITCH SLIDER PERCENTAGE RANGE" figure 19/page 18). The pitch adjustments will effect playback, reverse playback, and loops.

Press the PITCH BUTTON (27) to turn on the pitch function, when the pitch function is activated a LED will begin to glow (or flash depending on what pitch percentage value is selected, see changing pitch values on page 18). If the pitch function is not activated neither the PITCH SLIDER (21) nor the PITCH BEND BUTTONS (25) will not function.
