0 = Pitch, playback slowed down with PB Speed factor
1 = Mixer, playback mixed with peak frequency of the recording

1

PB Speed

Playback speed
1 = real-time
2 = half speed
etc.

Example: 10
The recordings are played slowed down 10 times (time expansion and frequency division). 
Thus the ultrasonic sounds are audible (e.g. 45 kHz -> 4.5 kHz)

The real-time playback enables the output of the original ultrasonic sounds. This can be 
useful for demonstration purpose for example. Pay attention to connect a speaker with 
appropriate ultrasound capability.
