7. ADVANCECED FUNCTIONS
Pitch adjustment
The playback speed can be adjusted variably up
to ±16% with the slide control PITCH.
1
First activate the slide control PITCH with the
button PITCH. For this keep the button
pressed until the blue LED lights up.
•
The display indicates "PITCH".
2
Each short actuation of the button PITCH
switches the pitch adjusting range between
4 %, 8 %, and 16 %.
• The percentage is shortly inserted in the
display.
3
Then slide up the control PITCH to decrease
the pitch and slide it down to increase the
pitch.
• The display shows the percentage deviation
from the standard speed.
Activating Master Tempo
With the change of speed, the tonal pitch is also
changed proportionally. However, with the Master
Tempo function activated, the tonal pitch will
remain constant. To activate the Master Tempo
keep the button PITCH pressed until the blue LED
flashes.
• The display indicates “KEY”.
Matching the beat between two titles
(Pitch Bend)
With the function pitch bend, the beat of the
current title can be matched (synchronized) to the
beat of a music piece playing on another player.
Thus the rhythm will not be interrupted while
crossfading from one title to another. Unlike the
adjustment with the slide control PITCH this
function will temporarily increase or decrease a
title's speed during playback.
1
First use the pitch slide control to adjust the
same number of beats (BPM) for both music
pieces.
2
Then synchronize the beats of the two music
pieces by turning the jog dial.
• The function fast forward/reverse must be
deactivated.
• The change of speed depends on the turning
speed of the jogdial: Rotating the wheel in a
clockwise direction will increase your title
speed and rotating the wheel in a
counterclockwise direction will decrease your
title speed.
• As soon as you stop turning the wheel the
BPM will automatically return to normal.
3
Alternatively to the jogdial you can also use
the buttons PITCH BEND for matching the
beat.
• As long as the button [
+
] or [
–
] is kept
pressed, the title is played 16 % faster or
slower.
• As soon as you release the buttons PITCH
BEND the BPM will automatically return to
normal.
