The RADAR
24
VARI-SPEED
control can be adjusted by a percentage of deviation from normal speed or by
Cents, which are equal to one hundredth of a semitone. The range is variable from minus 50% or 1199 Cents
to a maximum of plus 4.16% or 71 Cents at a sample rate of 48 kHz. The
VARI-SPEED
feature can be used in
all transport modes including record.
USING VARI-SPEED WITH DIGITAL I/O
If you are using Lightpipe, TDIF or AES/EBU digital audio interfaces in your setup there are some
limitations when using the
VARI-SPEED
feature. Since RADAR
24 actually modifies its sample clock
frequency to produce pitch changes with
VARI-SPEED
it is not possible to use this feature when slaved to
another devices sample clock. If RADAR
24 is made the clock master however, any devices slaved to the
system should slew their clock rates accordingly.
VARI-SPEED
with digital audio I/O can be a little tricky
depending on your setup so be sure you’re careful.

Please note that this key is somewhat different due to its double keystroke operation.
!
With
VARI-SPEED
off, the first press displays the
VARI-SPEED
dialog for entering a value. Immediate
changes to the pitch of playback audio can be made from this dialog using either the Jog/Shuttle wheel or
the up and down arrow keys. The numeric keys and the + and – keys can also be used to enter a value but
the change will not be reflected in the playback audio until the
ENTER
key is pressed.
!
The second keystroke returns the RADAR
24 to ready mode with
VARI-SPEED
engaged.
!
With
VARI-SPEED
on, once again the first press displays the
VARI-SPEED
dialog for entering or changing
a value. At this point you can return to ready mode with
VARI-SPEED
on using the
CANCEL
key or you
can terminate
VARI-SPEED
operation by pressing the
VARI-SPEED
key once again.
