Playback using the Vari-pitch function

This section explains how to change the playback speed of the recorder using the Vari Pitch function.

You can set the playback speed in the range of +6.0% to -6.0% in 0.1% increments. The VARI PITCH key turns Vari Pitch mode on and off. When the function is turned on, the VARI PITCH LED lights up.

When the function is turned off, the LED turns off.

•Initialize the D-108.

•Check the sampling frequency. Select the desired sampling frequency, if necessary. Do not change the sampling frequency until you finish the session.

4.Set the desired pitch data using the JOG dial.

Rotating the JOG dial enables you to hear changes in playback speed. Rotating the dial clockwise increases the speed, and rotating it counter-clockwise decreases the speed.

To continue the playback with the Vari Pitch function on, press the EXIT/NO key.

The D-108 exits Vari Pitch data edit mode, indicates the previous Time Base display, and continues playing with the Vari Pitch you just set.

5.To turn off Vari Pitch mode, press the VARI PITCH key.

The VARI PITCH LED turns off, the Vari Pitch function is cancelled, and the D-108 resumes playback at normal speed.

6.If you wish to play back data at the current Vari Pitch again, press the VARI PITCH key to turn the

LED on.

You can turn the Vari Pitch function on and off and edit the pitch data while the D-108 is playing or stopped, but not during recording.

However, if the Vari Pitch function has already been turned on and the pitch data was specified before you started recording, the D-108 will record using the current Vari Pitch.

<Note>

•Even if the pitch data is 0.0% (no speed change), pressing the VARI PITCH key will still turn on the VARI PITCH function. The speed is not changed, but the Vari Pitch is turned on.

•The Vari Pitch function is automatically turned off under the following conditions:

1.You have turned off and on the power to the D-108. (The pitch data will be reset to 0.0%.)

2.You have set “Slave mode setting” in SETUP mode to ON. (The pitch data previously set will be maintained.)

3.You have specified a track (or adat) for “Digital input track setting” in SETUP mode, and [DIGITAL] lights up on the display. (The pitch data previously set is retained.) Or, [EXT SYNC] lights up on the display as the D-108 synchronizes with the Digital In clock or WORD IN.
