selected pitch.

mum of -16% pitch. Be sure to remember that

19. PITCH SLIDER -
This slider is used to adjust
the playback pitch percentage when the
PITCH
(21)
function is activated. The slider is a set
adjustment and will remain set until the pitch slid-
er is moved or the
PITCH (21)
function has been
turned off. This adjustment can be made with or
without a CD in the drive. The pitch adjustment
will remain even if a disc has been remove, and
will reflect on any other disc loaded into the unit.
That is to say, if you set a +2% pitch on one disc,
remove that disc and insert another, that disc too
will have a +2% pitch. The amount of pitch being
applied will be displayed in the
LCD (3).
Use this
slider to match the BPM’s of this unit to that of
another music source. By changing the pitch of
one disc with respect to the other in this way, the
beats can be matched.
20. PITCH SELECT -
This button changes the
pitch value. The pitch percentage can be changed
between 8%, 12%, and 16%. 8% yields the
least amount of pitch manipulation and 16% will
yield the most amount of pitch manipulation. To
adjust to the different values tap this button. The
LED above this button will indicate which pitch
percentage mode is activated. See
PITCH LED
(23)
. The pitch values will immediately reflect the
amount of pitch being applied to a music source
in the CD drive. The pitch value is adjusted by
sliding the
PITCH SLIDER (19)
up and down.
