Tip:

Sometimes the pitch of an instrument and the pitch of the previously recorded tracks is slightly

different. If you cannot adjust the pitch of the instrument, you can compensate for the error with the TAPE

SPEED CONTROL (

F

) - PITCH control. The PITCH control can adjust the tape speed by approximately

±

10%. During rehearsal, adjust the PITCH control until you have matched the instrument with the tracks.

Note:

To prevent wow and flutter effects, do not accidentally adjust the PITCH control while you are

recording.
