2. PITCH BENDING:

Unlike the Pitch SLIDER (4) adjustment this function will momentarily increase or decrease a tracks speed

during playback. There are two ways to operate this function with the (-) & (+) PITCH BUTTONS (8) or with the
JOG WHEEL (9). The maximum pitch bend percentage allowed is +/- 16%. The pitch bend function will work
in conjunction with the PITCH SLIDER (4) pitch setting. For example, if the PITCH SLIDER (4) is set to a 2%
pitch gain the pitch bending process will begin at 2% and will continue to the maximum of +/- 16%.

NOTE: A -100% pitch manipulation will stop playback entirely.

Holding down or tapping on the (+)
PITCH BEND BUTTON (8) will provide
a speed bump in the playback pitch.
Holding down or tapping on the (-)
PITCH BEND BUTTON (8) will provide
a slow down in the playback pitch.

PITCH BEND BUTTONS (8):

The (+) PITCH BEND BUTTON (8) will increase track playback speed and the (-) PITCH BEND BUTTON (8) will
decrease track playback speed. The extent to which the speed changes is proportionate to the amount of time
the button is pressed. For example, if the (+) PITCH BEND BUTTON (8) is held down continuously as in figure
25, the disc speed will increases and will continue to increase until it reaches a maximum of 16% speed gain.
When you release the (+) PITCH BEND BUTTON (8) the disc speed will automatically return to it’s previous set
speed.

Adjusting the PITCH SLIDER'S RANGE (4): You may change the
PITCH SLIDER'S (4) operating range at any time. To change the operat-
ing range be sure the pitch function is turned on, see figure 21. The pitch
percentage can be changed between +/-4%, +/-8%, and +/-16%. 4% will
allow the least amount of pitch manipulation and 16% will allow the most
amount of pitch manipulation. To adjust the different ranges, press the
PITCH ON/OFF BUTTON (5) and tap on the PITCH RANGE BUTTON (6)
until your desired value is reached, see figure 34.
