2. PITCH BENDING:

Unlike the PITCH SLIDER (35) 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 (28 &

29) or with the JOG WHEEL (23). The maximum pitch bend percentage allowed is +/- 100%. The pitch bend

function will work in conjunction with the PITCH SLIDER (35) pitch setting. For example, if the PITCH SLIDER

(35) is set to a 2% pitch gain the pitch bending process will begin at 2% and will continue to the maximum

of +/- 100%.

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

Holding down on the (-) PITCH BEND BUTTON (25) will

provide a slow down in the playback pitch.

Figure 42

Using the Pitch Slider Percentage Selector (27): You may

choose a pitch operating range at any time. To change the oper-

ating range be sure the pitch function is turned on, see figure 40.

The pitch percentage can be changed between +/-4%, +/-8%,

+/-16%, and +/- 100%. 4% will allow the least amount of pitch

manipulation and 100% will allow the most amount of pitch

manipulation. To adjust the different values, press the PITCH

ON/OFF BUTTON (17) and Tap on the % BUTTON (27) until your

desired value is reached. The L.E.D. of the % BUTTON (27);

glowing red for 4%, flashing red for 8%, glowing blue for 16% or

flashing blue for 100%.
