(4) Pitch On/Off Button
– This button is used to switch the pitch function on and off. When

is active. When the button LED is not lit, the

Slider (10)

pitch manipulation.

Tempo Lock
function. This function
allows you to use the

to speed up or slow down playback speed without altering
the tonal pitch of the track. When this function is not engaged the original tonal pitch of the
track will be altered giving you the "chipmunk" effect when a track is played at a high rate of
speed or the "James Earl Jones" effect when a track is slowed too much.

track play (all tracks in order). This function also operates in

direction will decrease the pitch percentage down to -100%. The pitch bend
will be determined on how long you turn the jog wheel continuously.

frame search.
