Using Touch Strip to Nudge/Pitchbend
Traditional DJ's who don't have an automatic Sync function at hand are used to physically
nudging, twisting, and tweaking a conventional turntable with either Timecode vinyl or tradi-
tional vinyl to temporarily speed up or slow down a track and align the beats manually. The D2
allows you to work in a similar way by using the Touch Strip:
The LEDs above the Touch Strip provide visual information about a Deck's phase alignment.
They help you make the necessary tempo bend adjustments to get your tracks aligned.
The following tutorial will demonstrate how to manually beatmatch the two demo tracks "Tech-
no 1" loaded on Deck A and "Techno 2" loaded on Deck B by means of the Touch Strip, with-
out using the Sync function.
