7. ADVANCECED FUNCTIONS
Pitch adjustment
The playback speed can be adjusted variably up
to ±16% with the slide control PITCH.
1
First select the adjusting range with the
button PITCH. Each short actuation of the
button switches the unit between 4 %, 8 %,
and 16 %.
• The percentage is shortly inserted in the
display.
2
Activate the slide control PITCH with the
button PITCH ON/OFF. Keep the button
pressed until the blue LED lights up.
•
The display indicates "PITCH".
3
Then slide up the control PITCH to decrease
the pitch and slide it down to increase the
pitch.
• The display shows the percentage deviation
from the standard speed.
Activating Master Tempo
With the change of speed, the tonal pitch is also
changed proportionally. However, with the Master
Tempo function activated, the tonal pitch will
remain constant. To activate the Master Tempo
keep the button PITCH ON/OFF pressed until the
blue LED flashes.
• The display indicates “KEY”.
Matching the beat between two titles
(Pitch Bend)
With the function pitch bend, the beat of a title on
player 1 can be matched (synchronized) to the
beat of a title on player 2 or vice versa. Thus the
rhythm will not be interrupted while crossfading
from one title to another. Unlike the adjustment
with the slide control PITCH this function will
temporarily increase or decrease a title's speed
during replay.
1
First use the pitch slide control to adjust the
same number of beats (BPM) for both music
pieces.
2
Then synchronize the beats of the two music
pieces by turning the jog dial.
• The function fast forward/reverse must be
deactivated.
• The change of speed depends on the turning
speed of the jogdial: Rotating the wheel in a
clockwise direction will increase your title
speed and rotating the wheel in a
counterclockwise direction will decrease your
title speed.
• As soon as you stop turning the wheel the
BPM will automatically return to normal.
3
Alternatively to the jogdial you can also use
the buttons PITCH BEND for matching the
beat.
• As long as the button [
+
] or [
–
] is kept
pressed, the title is played 16 % faster or
slower.
• As soon as you release the buttons PITCH
BEND the BPM will automatically return to
normal.
Return to the starting point of the title
or to a defined spot (cueing)
To quickly jump back to the starting point of the
title or to a defined spot, a starting point (cue
point) can be stored temporarily for the button
CUE. The cue point will be overwritten with the
starting point of the next title when the next title is
reached or when the next title is selected.
1
To jump to the starting point of a title, press
the button CUE in pause or play mode.
• The unit stops and returns to the starting
point of the title (cue point) and is in cue
mode.
• The button lights red.
• After jumping to the cue point, playback can
be started with the button [
►
II
].
• Alternatively, you can keep the button CUE
pressed and momentarily play the title. The
display shows
II
. As soon as you release the
button the unit instantly returns to the cue
point and is in pause mode.
2
To set the cue point at a different spot of the
title, the jog dial can be used for precisely
selecting the spot to one frame (1/75
second).
• The function fast forward/reverse must be
deactivated
Set the unit to pause. Then use the jogdial to
go to the precise spot. After turning, the
current spot is constantly repeated. As soon
as playback is started with the button [
►
II
] a
new cue point is memorized.
• The button CUE flashes repeatedly.
