Search Function:

As explained under “SEARCH KNOB”, when search is pressed and you rotate the wheel, the

music will rapidly scan the music to find a cue point.

Pitch Bend Function:

allows the user to temporarily change the speed of the music to align beats. When the

beats of the music of the CD you wish to match are fast compared to the tempo of the other music, rotate the jog
wheel counter clockwise (to the left). When the CD is behind, rotate the jog wheel clockwise (to the right). The

pitch changes temporarily while the jog wheel is rotated. The faster you rotate the wheel the more pitch is

changed. Releasing the wheel results in a return to the original pitch.

17.

Pitch Slider:

By moving the slider in the (+) direction the speed of the music permanently speeds up. By moving

the slider in the (-) direction the speed of the music permanently slows down. To match the speeds of two CDs
you can adjust the pitch. When the tempo of the music of the CD you wish to match is slow compared to the

tempo of the other music, move the slider to the (+) side and match the speed. When faster, move the pitch

slider to the (-) side. By making this adjustment, the speeds will be matched, though the beats may not yet be

aligned.

Relay

– Pressing this button will cause the sides of the unit to alternate play as one stops and the other starts. If

the players are set to single play mode then relay will alternate after each track. If the players are set to

continuous it will relay after the entire CD is played.

Scratch-

This effect makes it possible for the wheel to scratch the music while it is playing. If you move the

wheel back and forth the music will stop and play slowly as the wheel is moved similar to scratching a record.
When the wheel stops moving the music will continue onward. You can also push the wheel forward and the unit

will automatically play as it slows. This effect can be left on to allow scratch style cueing of your music.

22.

Reverse-

This actually plays the music backwards. When the effect is activated the music will play backwards

until it is released.

played through the audio spectrum. If you turn off the effect then on again it remembers the last set parameter.
