3. JOG WHEEL (13):

The JOG WHEEL will temporarily bend the pitch if a track is in playback mode

Rotating the wheel in a clockwise direction will increase your track pitch and

rotating the wheel in a counter-clockwise direction will decrease your track

pitch. The speed you rotate the JOG WHEEL will determine pitch bend percent-

age (%). For example, if the JOG WHEEL is continuously turned in a counter-

clockwise direction the playback speed will steadily decrease and will continue

to decrease until playback reaches a maximum of -100% and playback stops

entirely. When you stop turning the JOG WHEEL the disc speed will automati-

cally return to it’s previous set speed.

NOTE: To use the JOG WHEEL in a pitch bend function when the

SCRATCH EFFECT (19) is activated you must use the outer ring of the jog

wheel where the clear rubber insulator is attached.
