Jog Dial Functions

7What is JET?
JET means to change the delay time by rotating the jog dial, thus mixing a short delay with the playback sound. Conventional DJ technique has been to use 2 players, starting the same track simultaneously on both players, then introducing a slight delay on one of the players, mixing the two sounds so as to produce the effect of a "jet engine." This function allows you to produce this sound effect easily using a single player.
7What is ZIP?
The pitch of the playback sound is changed in accord- ance with the rotation of the jog dial, allowing you to radically change the tonal pitch of the playback sound. When the dial is held rotated in the decreasing direc- tion, a sound can be created virtually indistinguishable from stopping the rotation of an analog record.
7What is WAH?
When the jog dial is rotated, a filter changing the cutoff frequency is applied to the playback sound, in accord- ance with the amount the dial is rotated. This allows the DJ to extract and play back desired parts from the play- back sound.
Using the HOLD function
Press the HOLD button while the DIGITAL JOG BREAK function is in effect; in the display, the indicator corre- sponding to the selected effect will switch from flashing to steadily lighted, and the amount of effect currently being applied to the sound will remain steady, even if the jog dial is released.
ÖWhen the HOLD function is in effect, the time display will periodically show the HOLD indicator as noted below.
