3. JOG WHEEL (16):
The jog Wheel (16) will temporarily bend the pitch if a track is in playback mode, and the Search
button (17) is not active. Rotating the wheel in a clockwise direction will increase your track pitch
and rotating the wheel in a counter-clockwise direction will slow your track pitch. If the jog Wheel
(16) is continuously turned in a counter-clockwise direction the playback speed will steadily decreases
and will continue to decrease until playback reaches a maximum of -100%. When you stop turning
the jog Wheel (16) the speed will automatically return to it’s previous set speed.

PITCH ADJUSTmENTS (CONT.)2. PITCH BENDING:
Unlike the pitch SliDer (25) adjustment this function will momentarily increase or decrease a tracks
speed during playback. This is done using the jog Wheel (16). The maximum pitch bend percent-
age allowed by jog Wheel (16) is +/-100%.The pitch bend function will work in conjunction with the
pitch SliDer (25) pitch setting. For example, if the pitch SliDer (25) is set to a 2% pitch gain the
pitch bending process will begin at 2% and will continue to the maximum of +/-16%.
NOTE: A -100% pitch manipulation will stop playback entirely. This can only be done with JOG
WHEEL (16).
Figure 46
Using the Pitch Slider Percentage
Selector (10): 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 44. 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 (10) until
your desired percentage is reached.
