Stanton C.503 Re-looping, Seamless playback from the LOOP start point, Changing the LOOP points

CUE button, etc…). At this time, the RELOOP button start flashing, but the loop points are not erased.

Re-looping

When loop play is disengaged and loop points are already stored, pressing the RELOOP button starts looped playback and the RELOOP button lights.

Seamless playback from the LOOP start point

Pressing the RELOOP button always play starts from the loop start point.

Changing the LOOP points

Loop start and end points cannot be erased but can be over written. Execute the same way as Section 2-4: “IN/OUT Looping” to change the loop points.

2-5. Adjusting the tempo

Pitch range

The C.503 features +/-4, 8, 16, 32, and 100 of pitch control range. Pressing the PITCH RANGE button changes the pitch control range. The parameter display section of the LCD momentarily shows the selected pitch range.

Using the Pitch slider

The pitch slider controls playback pitch in % increments. Pitch changes are displayed in the LCD. The C.503 offers a +/- 4% range for more accurate adjustments when beat matching. At this setting each marker (dot) is equal to 1%.

2-6. Pitch Bending

When playing back a disc, pressing the BEND + or - buttons, or using the Jog Wheel can change playback tempo momentary. Pressing the + button or moving the Jog wheel clockwise increases the playback speed which returns to original speed when this button is released or the Jog wheel stops moving. Pressing the - Button or moving the Jog wheel counterclockwise decreases the playback speed and which also returns to original speed when released or the Jog wheel stops.

NOTE:

*When VINYL button or an effect button is not lit, the Jog wheel works for pitch bend function. The maximum pitch bend range is 16% (for jog wheel & buttons).

*When PITCH LOCK function is activated, playback pitch is fixed.

2-7. KEY LOCK

When pitch range is set to +/-4, 8, or 16%, pressing the KEY LOCK button turns on and off the KEY LOCK function. When KEY LOCK function is turned on, pitch control does not affect the actual Key of the playback. For example you can adjust the speed tempo / BPM of a track without affecting the harmonic Key. When the KEY LOCK function is turned on, “KEY LOCK” indicator shows in the LCD screen.

NOTE:

If Tempo Range is set to +/-32% or 100%, the KEY LOCK function does not work.

2-8. PITCH LOCK

Pressing the Pitch LOCK button turns on and off the PITCH LOCK function. When PITCH LOCK function is turned on, pitch control devices (such as Jog Wheel, Pitch Fader, and Pitch Bend buttons) are ineffective; the Pitch will remain “locked” at zero 0%, until deactivated.

NOTE:

When the PITCH LOCK function is turned on, parameter display shows “—-“ in the TEMPO / PITCH section of the LCD screen.
