Matching the Beats Per Minute (BPM) for two CDs
There are three tools available for matching the BPM of two CDs:
−
Use the pitch slider to adjust the BPM.
−
Use the PITCH BEND +/- buttons to change the BPM temporarily.
−
Turn the JOG dial to change the BPM temporarily.
a. Pitch Slider
1. To adjust the BPM by sliding the pitch slider up or down, press the PITCH button to turn on the
PITCH adjustment function before using.
2. Slide the pitch slider up to decrease the BPM, or down to increase the BPM. The adjustment
range is +/-8, +/-12, +/-16%.
b. Pitch B/- buttons
The BPM increases or decreases respectively when the PITCH BEND+ or PITCH BEND-
button is pressed.
The BPM increase depends on how long you hold the button. If you hold the button for about
1/2 second, the BPM will either increase by 16% for PITCH BEND+ or decrease by 16% for
PITCH BEND-. If you tap the button quickly, the BPM will only change a little so you can
change the beat slightly without audible changes in the music.
The CD will return to the tempo indicated by the Pitch slider when you let go of the PITCH
BEND+/ – button.
Figure 11 shows an example of how to use the pitch bend function. In this example, both
players are playing and the BPM of the two CDs does not match. Use the PITCH BEND +/-
buttons to adjust the BPM.
c. JOG dial
Turn the jog dial clockwise during play to increase the number of BMP, and turn it counter clockwise
to reduce the number of BMP. The faster you turn the wheel, the more the BMP changes. The BMP
changes with a range of +/-8, +/-12, +/-16%
When you release jog wheel, the CD will return to the tempo indicated by the pitch slider.
