Making Fine Adjustments to the Playback Pitch (Pitch)
This adjusts the pitch of the playback sound in one-cent steps. One cent is 1/100th of a
semitone.
Sometimes when you are practicing your instrument along with a CD, you may have
difficulty because the CD playback is pitched slightly different than your instrument. In
such cases, you can adjust the CD playback pitch to match your instrument.
When you’re using an instrument that is not easily tuned, such as an acoustic piano, you
can adjust the pitch of the CD so that it matches your instrument.

Value (units: Cents)
Explanation
-100–0 (factory setting)–100
Lowering the value will lower the overall pitch of the song.
Raising the value will raise the overall pitch of the song. A
setting of “0” is the original pitch of the song.
However if Key (Page 75) is set to -12, you won't be able to set
the Pitch to a negative (-) value.
If Key is set to 12, you won't be able to set the Pitch to a
positive (+) value.
* If you change the pitch setting during playback, the audio
will be interrupted momentarily.
