15. PITCH BENDING
• This function momentarily increases or decreases the playback speed of a CD respectively when the
+
PITCH BEND
or
- PITCH BEND
button is pressed. The extent to which the speed changes is
proportionate to the amount of time the button is pressed. For example, if the
+ PITCH BEND BUTTON
is held down continuously, the CD’s speed increases and will continue to increase until reaches a
maximum of 16% gain in speed. When you release the
+ PITCH BEND BUTTON
the speed of the CD
will automatically return to it’s previous speed.
• The pitch can be changed from +/- 8%, +/- 12% or +/- 16% range. See changing PITCH PERCENTAGE.
• The jog wheel will temporarily bend the pitch if a track is in play mode. Rotating the wheel clockwise
will speed up your track and rotating the wheel counter-clockwise will slow the track down. The speed
that you rotate the
JOG WHEEL
determines the percentage (%) of the PITCH BEND.
