PITCH ADJUSTMENTS:

You can activate the PITCH SLIDER (10) by pressing the PITCH ON/OFF BUTTON (4). When the button LED is lit, the PITCH SLIDER (10) is active and the pitch can be adjusted. When the button LED is not lit PITCH SLIDER (10) is not active. 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 CD player. The playback speed may be increased or decreased by a factor of +/-16. The next section details the different pitch manipulation schemes.

The PITCH SLIDER (10) 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 +/-8%, +/-10%, or +/-16% (See changing "PITCH SLIDER PERCENTAGE RANGE" on the next page). This pitch adjustments will effect normal playback and loops only when the PITCH ON/OFF BUTTON (4) is turned on.
