1. PITCH SLIDER (7):

This function will increase or decrease the tracks playback speed or "PITCH."

The maximum pitch percentage manipulation in this function is +/-100%. The

PITCH SLIDER is used to decrease or increase the playback pitch. If the slider

is moved 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 adjustment can be changed to range from +/-4%, +/-8%, +/-16%, or

+/-100% (See changing "PITCH SLIDER PERCENTAGE RANGE" on the next

page). The pitch adjustments will effect normal playback and loops only when the

PITCH ON/OFF BUTTON (26) is turned on. The pitch adjustments will not affect

your samples.

lation is commonly used to beat match between two or more music sources such as a turntable or another CD

player. The playback speed may be increased or decreased by a factor of +/-100. The next section details the

different pitch manipulation schemes.
