2. PITCH BENDING:

Unlike the piTch knoB (11) adjustment this function will momentarily increase or decrease a tracks

speed during playback. To operate the PITCH BEND use the (-) & (+) piTch BEnD BUTTonS (12).

The maximum pitch bend percentage allowed by piTch BUTTonS (12) is +/-16%. The pitch bend

function will work in conjunction with the piTch knoB (11) pitch setting. For example, if the piTch

knoB (11) is set to a 4% pitch gain the pitch bending process will begin at 4% and wi ll continue to

the maximum of +/-16%.

Holding down on the (-) piTch BEnD BUT-

Ton (12) will provide a slow down in the play-

back pitch.

Using the PITCH PERCENTAGE

SELECTOR (13): You may choose a pitch

operating range at any time. To change the

operating range be sure the pitch function

is turned on, see figure 31. The pitch per-

centage can be changed between +/-4%,

+/-8%, and +/-16%. 4% will allow the least

amount of pitch manipulation and 16% will

allow the most amount of pitch manipula-

tion. To adjust the different values, press

the piTch pERcEnTAgE BUTTon (13) to

change the percentage, until your desired

percentage is reached.

BUTTon (12) will provide a speed bump in

the playback pitch.

3. PITCH BEND BUTTONS (12):

The (+) piTch BEnD BUTTon (12) will increase track playback speed and the (-) piTch BEnD BUT-

Ton (12) will decrease track playback speed. The extent to which the speed changes is proportion-

ate to the amount of time the button is pressed. For example, if the (+) piTch BEnD BUTTon (12) is

held down continuously as in Figure 35, the speed will increases and will continue to increase until

it reaches the percentage the piTch pERcEnTAgE BUTTon (13) is set to. When you release the (+)

piTch BEnD BUTTon (12) the speed will automatically return to it’s previous set speed.
