Changing the playback speed

Use the SPEED knob to adjust the playback speed without changing the pitch.

The speed adjustment range is –50% to +16% (in 1% incre- ments), so the slowest speed setting is half the original

speed.

Set to ON to activate the part cancel function.

 

PART (default setting is C)

 

Set this to the stereo position of the sound that you want

 

to reduce. The setting range is L10 (far left) – C (center)

 

– R10 (far right).
