Playback at half speed (x1/2 Play)

x1/2 Play is a function that drops the pitch of the disc to half the normal pitch during play- back. When x1/2 Play is used, the pitch will be one octave lower than normal. (This is the same effect as Cue-Half.) This provides a convenient way to practice rapidly-played phrases that you have recorded from a CD etc.

Note: Recording or rehearsal cannot be performed at X1/2 Play. Nor will it be possible to synchronize with a MIDI sequencer using MTC or MIDI Clock while using x1/2 Play.

1.Press the UTILITY button.

2.Rotate the DATA dial until the display indicates “X1/2 Play,” and press the ENTER button.

The display will indicate “X1/2 OFF.” The HALF indicator will light.

3.Rotate the DATA dial to make the display indicate “X1/2 ON,” and press the ENTER button.

X1/2 Play will be active.

4.To turn off the X1/2 Play function, rotate the DATA dial to make the display read “x1/2 OFF” and press the ENTER button.
