14.PITCH BENDING

The speed increases or decreases respectively when the (+) PITCH BEND BUTTON (14) or PITCH BEND (-) BUTTON (14) is pressed. 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 in continuously, the speed increases continuously.

The pitch can be changed from range. See changing PITCH PERCENTAGE (17).

The jog wheel will temporarily bend the pitch of the music if the song is already playing. Rotate the wheel clock-wise to speed up or counterclockwise to slow down. The speed that you rotate the inner JOG WHEEL determines the percentage (%) of the PITCH BEND.
