BASIC OPERATIONS (CONT)

10.PITCH BEND:

This function will momentarily increase or decrease a tracks playback speed. There are two ways to operate this function with the (-) & (+) PITCH BUTTONS (14) or with the JOG WHEEL (1). The maximum pitch bend percentage allowed is +/- 16%. The pitch bend function will work in conjunction with the PITCH SLIDER (3) pitch setting.

PITCH BEND BUTTONS (14):

The (+) PITCH BEND BUTTON (14) will provide a speed bump and the (-) PITCH BEND BUTTON (14) will provide a slow down. The maximum range of the PITCH BEND BUTTONS is 16%. 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 (14) is held down continuously, the disc speed will increases and will continue to increase until reaches a maximum of 16% speed gain. When you release the (+) PITCH BEND BUTTON (14) the disc speed

will automatically return to it’s previous speed.
