Pitch adjustments

Pitch adjustments:

The different pitch adjustments allow a track's or a loop's playback speed to be manipulated. This speed manipulation is commonly used to beat match between two or more music sources such as a turntable or another CD/Media player. The playback speed may be increased or decreased by a factor of +/-100. The next section details the different pitch manipulation schemes.

1. Pitch Slider (4):

This function will increase or decrease the tracks playback speed or "PITCH." The maximum pitch percentage manipulation in this function is +/-100%. The Pitch Slider (4) is used to decrease or increase the playback pitch. If the slider is moved 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 adjustment can be changed to range from +/-4%, +/-8%, +/-16%, or +/-100% (See changing "PITCH SLIDER PERCENTAGE RANGE" on the next page). The pitch adjustments will effect normal playback and loops only when the PITCH ON/OFF BUTTON (6) is turned on. The pitch adjustments will not affect your samples.
