Pitch Bend Function: allows the user to temporarily change the speed of the music to align beats. When the beats of the music of the CD you wish to match is fast compared to the tempo of the other music, rotate the jog wheel counter clockwise (to the left). When the CD is behind, rotate the jog wheel clockwise (to the right). The pitch changes temporarily while the jog wheel is rotated. The faster you rotate the wheel the more pitch is changed. Releasing the wheel results in a return to the original pitch.

15.Pitch Slider: By moving the slider in the (+) direction the speed of the music permanently speeds up. By moving the slider in the (- ) direction the speed of the music permanently slows down. To match the speeds of two CDs you can adjust the pitch. When the tempo of the music of the CD you wish to match is slow compared to the tempo of the other music, move the slider to the (+) side and match the speed. When faster, move the pitch slider to the (-) side. By making this adjustment, the speeds will be matched, though the beats may not yet be aligned.

16.Pitch Bend Buttons: Allows the user to temporarily change the speed of the music to align beats. When the beats of the music of the CD you wish to match is fast compared to the tempo of the other music press the (-). When the CD is behind press the (+).
