Using the Pitch Control to Adjust Tape Speed
The Pitch control allows you increase or decrease the speed at which the tape is played. By increasing the
speed of the tape, the audio also sounds higher and vice versa when you decrease the speed. This is very
handy when you would like to sing a song faster or slower.
Turn clockwise decrease pitch, and counter-clockwise to increase pitch.
Using Vocal Partner and Vocal Sensitivity Control
When playing Multiplex recorded software, you can use the V.Partner feature to remove the vocal layer from
playback. When the Vocal feature is activated, the vocal layer on a multiplex recording is eliminated as soon
as the singer begins singing into the microphone. When the singer stops singing, the vocals on the multiplex
recording are automatically returned to playback. This function is useful for practicing duo sessions when a
singer is performing solo. To enable V. Partner, turn the sensitivity control clockwise till the guide vocals
disappear from the mix. Leave the setting after your voice level has been set. To remove the V.Partner
feature, turn the V.Partner fully counter Clockwise.
Note:
The Vocal feature only works with
multiplex recorded software.
