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.

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.
