MATCHING THE BEATS PER MINUTE (BPM)

Match the tempo by monitoring the music of both PLAYER 1 and PLAYER 2 by ear and adjusting the pitch. When the tempo of the music of the selected CD player is slow compared to the tempo of the other player, move the slider to the “+” side and match the tempo. When faster, move the pitch slider to the “-“ side. The following description is for the case of matching the pitch of PLAYER 2 to the pitch of the music being played on PLAYER 1.

MATCHING BEATS USING PITCH BEND

If you find the BPM’s (Beats Per Minute or Tempos) are the same, however, the drumbeats are not matched you will need to temporarily change the pitch. This description is for the case of matching the beat of PLAYER 2 to the beat of the music being played on PLAYER 1. (This procedure can be done on either PLAYER).

After matching the BPM’s adjust the pitch temporarily as follows:

When PLAYER 2 is behind rotate the jog wheel		When PLAYER 2 is ahead rotate the jog wheel counter
clockwise or press to bend pitch faster		clockwise or press to bend pitch slower.


	or		or
	or		or

The pitch changes automatically while the jog wheel is rotated or buttons are pressed. The faster you rotate the wheel or longer you press the buttons, the more you change. Releasing the wheel and buttons results in a return to the original pitch and BPM.
