4.7Tempo Sync

This function allows you to match tempos between the two decks of the CD-302, using the BPM facility.

In this, and the beat sync function described below, either deck can be the “master” deck (the deck from which the tempo is taken) or the “slave” deck (whose tempo is matched to that of the master).

1Start playback on the master unit. The BPM counter shows the current tempo (either from the disc or from the tap function (see 4.5.3, “Using the tap mode with the BPM counter”).

2Start playback on the slave unit, and press the TEMPO SYNC key P on the slave unit.

The TEMPO SYNC key will flash until the tem- pos are matched. After the tempos have been matched, the TEMPO SYNC key will light steadily.

3Re-cue the slave unit so that you can start the playback at the required point.

4.7.1Cancellation of tempo sync

The tempo sync mode will be cancelled under the following conditions:

•If the TEMPO SYNC key or the BEAT SYNC key is pressed on the master deck.

•If the TEMPO SYNC key is pressed on the slave deck.

•The TEMPO slider is moved on the slave deck.

•If the difference in tempos between the two decks (slave and master) is set to more than 32%, the TEMPO SYNC key will flash and then go out (tempo sync is lost).

4.8Beat Sync

This function allows beat-level synchronization between the two decks which have already been “tempo synced” as described above (4.7, “Tempo Sync”).

The beat sync will then adjust the slave unit, so that the beats of the music played back on the two decks are synchronized (rather than simply being played
