10. PITCH ADJUSTMENTS:

This function will increase or decrease a tracks playback speed or "PITCH," this is not a momentary change

as in "PITCH BENDING" (see page 16). The maximum pitch bend percentage allowed is +/-16%. The PITCH

SLIDER (19) is used to decrease or increase the playback pitch. If the slider is move 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 (19) adjustment can be changed to range from +/-8%, +/-12%, or +/-16% (See changing

"PITCH SLIDER PERCENTAGE RANGE" figure 14/page 16). The pitch adjustments will effect playback, reverse

playback, and loops.

Using the Pitch Slider (19): To use the PITCH SLIDER (19) slide the

slider up and down. Down will increase the pitch and up will decrease

the pitch. The PITCH PERCENTAGE INDICATOR (40) in the LCD (3) will

detail the amount of pitch being applied to the track. When the slider is

in the center position, zero pitch is being applied to the track and the

PITCH PERCENTAGE INDICATOR (40) will read zero.
