 or 

OF

 and 

XXXX

 (the 

pitch/speed value as a percentage of the default 
pitch/speed between –16% and 16%) = 

1160

0160

  

Note: In the 

XXXX 

variable, a first digit of 0 

makes the percentage positive, a first digit of 1 
makes the percentage negative, and the last 
three digits are the pitch/speed value in 
multiples of 0.1% 
For example, to adjust the pitch/speed of the 
current track/recording by +14.5%, enter this 
code: @0PTON0145; to adjust the pitch/speed 
of the current track/recording by –8.0%, enter
