Manual adjustment
As already described on page 21, using the NEXT/CURRENT SONG button
you can define the song to which your adjustments will apply regarding the
speed and key (button is not illuminated = current song / button is illumina-
ted = next song).
In the example you can see that the song being played is in the „D“ key and
the song already prepared in the key „E“. If you want to adapt the key of the
prepared song to the key of the current song, check first if the NEXT/CUR-
RENT SONG button is illuminated (= pending adjustments relate to the next
song). If the button is deactivated, press once to activate it.
Then, press the KEY button 2x to transpose the next song by -2 semitones,
thus adapting the key to the current song. The KEY field of the next song
does still show the „E“ key, but there is a -2 in the field to the right of it.
If you want to adjust the speed of the prepared song as well, press the SPEED
button (SPEED -/+) to set the BPM of your choice. Pressing the GO TO button
will then allow you to change as usual between the current song and the
song you have prepared.
Automatic adjustment
If you want to use the crossfade function when changing from the current
song to the song you have prepared, before pressing the GO TO button
check if the CROSSFADE button is activated (which means the IMMEDIATE
button is deactivated).
If that is the case, MP11 will be able to adjust the speed also automatically.
The only condition is to make sure the parameter, AutoBPM range, in the
FADE CURVE menu has been set in advance (see page 44). You can open this
menu e.g. by holding down the CROSSFADE button for about 2 seconds.
Once you make that setting, MP11 will increase or decrease the BPM value
when crossfading from the current song to the next (until it reaches the
actual tempo).
Note: MP11 adjusts the speed automatically only if the difference in BPM values
of the two songs is not TOO extreme. If the difference in speed is too much, MP11
will not get slower, but crossfade immediately to the actual tempo.
Example: The original „E“ key was first transposed manually by -2 semitones.
In addition, the CROSSFADE button was activated, and the GO TO button was
pressed. Since the previous song had a BPM value of 95 and the song - that
was skipped to - had a BPM value of 101, MP11 will start the speed when
crossfading to the next song at a BPM value of 95 (i.e. 6 BPMs slower). Then,
MP11 will increase the BPM slowly for the song that is being played until the
actual BPM value is reached (i.e. 101 BPM). In the example on the side you
can see that this will be at 19.2 BAR.
