h) Synchronisation of the playback speed
To mix two signal sources cleanly with each other, most of the time the beats have to be matched up first.
This can be achieved in three ways:
• With the slider PITCH (20). This lets you change the playback speed permanently. This function can used when
two tracks have two completely different tempos (beat).
• With the buttons PITCH BEND +/- (3 and 14). This lets you change the playback speed temporarily. This function
can be used when two tracks are only marginally out of beat with each other and need a quick jog to bring the
tempo into sync.
• With the JOG/SHUTTLE wheel (21). By turning the wheel, you can change the playback speed temporarily. The
speed change depends on the turning speed of the JOG wheel. This function can also be used when two tracks
are only marginally out of beat with each other and need a quick jog to bring the tempo into sync.
PITCH - slide control
• Activate the slider PITCH (20) by pressing the PITCH (15) button.
• Alter playback speed by moving the PITCH slide control (20) up or down. The speed change is percent is indicated
on the display. Set the slide control to the middle and the original playback speed will be maintained.
PITCH BEND keys
• Keep the respective PITCH-BEND +/- (3 or 14) button depressed during playback to alter the speed.
The button PITCH BEND - (3) reduces the speed.
The button PITCH BEND + (14) increases the speed.
• The amount that the playback speed is altered depends on the length of time that the PITCH button is kept
depressed.
• After letting go of the key, playback returns to the original speed or the speed set by the PITCH slider (20).
