PITCH BEND:
This function will momentarily increase or decrease a tracks playback speed. There are two ways to operate
this function with the (-) & (+) PITCH BUTTONS (25) or with the JOG WHEEL (19). The maximum pitch bend
percentage allowed is +/- 16%. The pitch bend function will work in conjunction with the PITCH SLIDER (23)
pitch setting. The PITCH SLIDER (23) adjustment can be changed to range from +/-8%, +/-12%, or +/-16%
(See changing "PITCH SLIDER PERCENTAGE RANGE" on page 16). For example, if the PITCH SLIDER (23)
is set to a 2% pitch gain the pitch bending process will begin at 2% and wi
ll continue to the maximum of
-
/+16%.
PITCH BEND BUTTONS (15 & 16):
The (+) PITCH BEND BUTTON (15 & 16) will provide a speed bump and the (-) PITCH BEND BUTTON (15) will
provide a slow down. The extent to which the speed changes is proportionate to the amount of time the button
is pressed. For example, if the (+) PITCH BEND BUTTON (16) is held down continuously, the disc speed will
increases and will continue to increase until reaches a maximum of 100% speed gain. When you release the
(+) PITCH BEND BUTTON (16) the disc speed will automati
c
ally return to
it’s previous speed.
Holding down or tapping on the (+) PITCH
BEND BUTTON (16) will provide a speed
bump in the playback pitch.
Holding down or tapping on the
(-) PITCH BEND BUTTON (15) will
provide a slow down in the play-
back pitch.

JOG WHEEL (19):
The JOG WHEEL (19) will temporarily bend the pitch if a track is in play
mode Rotating the wheel in a clockwise direction will increase your
track pitch and rotating the wheel in a counter-clockwise direction will
slow your track pitch. The speed you rotate the JOG WHEEL (19) will
determine pitch bend percentage (%).
