TIP

By using the Key Control function in conjunction with the Pitch Control function, you can change only the speed without affecting the pitch (see “Key Control play” on page 27).

5 − Playback

NOTE

When you turn Pitch Control playback on/off during playback, the playback sound may be momentarily interrupted.

Specifying the Pitch Step

You can change the pitch step.

Pitch steps are the amount of pitch change produced by turning the PITCH knob one step or by pressing the remote’s PITCH +/- key once.

You must make the Pitch Step setting from the SS-R1 itself (this setting cannot be made from the remote).

1Hold down the front panel PITCH knob.The pitch step setting screen will appear.

2While this screen is displayed, you can turn the MULTI JOG dial to specify the pitch step in a range of 0.1%–1.0%.

3When you’ve finished making the setting, press the front panel TIME (ESC) key (or the remote’s CLR/ESC key) to return to the home screen.

NOTE

The pitch control setting is remembered even when you turn off the power.

Key Control playback

You can use the Key Control function to change the key (pitch) of playback.

Here is how to use menu mode to turn Key Control on/off and adjust the key level setting (for details on menu opera- tions, refer to “Operations in the menu screen” on page 16).

1Press the MENU key to access the main menu list screen.

2Select the PLAY menu.3 Select the KEY item.

In this state you can turn Key Control on/off.

4 Turn the KEY item ON.

5Press the front panel ˚ key (or the remote’s CURSOR ¥ key) to proceed to the level setting screen.

6Turn the front panel MULTI JOG dial (or use the remote’s CURSOR § , ¶ keys) to select the de- sired key level, and press the front panel ˚ key (or the remote’s CURSOR ¥ key).

You can select the key level from a range of 6– 1, 0 (no pitch change), #1–#6.

7When you’ve finished making the setting, press the front panel TIME (ESC) key (or the remote’s CLR/ESC key) to return to the home screen.

The Key Control function will be on, and the home screen will indicate KEY.

NOTE

•The Key Control setting is remembered even when the power is turned off.

•When using the Key Control function, the playback sound may appear to quaver. This is due to the processing being applied to the playback, and is not a malfunction.

TIP

If you turn on both the Key Control function and the Pitch Control function, the key (pitch) will be specified by the Key Control function and the speed will be determined by the Pitch Control function. (In other words, using Pitch Control to change the speed will not affect the pitch of the sound). Thus, if you set KEY LEVEL to 0and turn the Key Control function on, you can use Pitch Control to change the playback speed by itself without affecting the pitch.
