2. PITCH BENDING:
Unlike the
PITCH SLIDER (7)
adjustment t
his function will momentarily increase or decrease a tracks speed
during playback. There are two ways to operate this function, with the
(-) & (+) PITCH BUTTONS (11)
or with
the
JOG WHEEL (13).
The maximum pitch bend percentage allowed is +/- 100%. The pitch bend function will
work in conjunction with the
PITCH SLIDER'S (7)
pitch setting. For example, if the
PITCH SLIDER (7)
is set to a
2% pitch gain the pitch bending process will begin at 2% and wi
ll continue to the maximum of +
/- 100%.
NOTE: A -100% pitch manipulation will stop playback entirely.
Holding down or tapping on the
(+)
PITCH BEND BUTTON (11)
will pro-
vide a speed bump in the playback
pitch.
Holding down or tapping on the
(-)
PITCH BEND BUTTON (11)
will provide
a slow down in the playback pitch.
PITCH BEND BUTTONS (11):
The
(+) PITCH BEND BUTTON (11)
will increase track playback speed and the
(-) PITCH BEND BUTTON (11)
will decrease track playback speed. The extent to which the speed changes is proportionate to the amount
of time the button is pressed. For example, if the
(+) PITCH BEND BUTTON (11)
is held down continuously
as in figure 42, the disc speed will increase and will continue to increase until it reaches a maximum of 100%
speed gain. When you release the
(+) PITCH BEND BUTTON (11)
the disc speed will automati
c
ally return to
it’s previous set speed.

Adjusting the PITCH SLIDER'S RANGE (7):
You may change the
PITCH SLIDER'S (7)
operating range at any time. To change the operat-
ing range be sure the pitch function is turned on, see figure 38. The pitch
percentage range can be changed b/-4%, +/-8%, +/-16%, and
+/- 100%. 4% will allow the least amount of pitch manipulation and 100%
will allow the most amount of pitch manipulation. To adjust the differ-
ent ranges, press the
PITCH ON/OFF BUTTON (3)
and tap on the
PITCH
RANGE BUTTON (1)
until your desired value is reached, see figure 40.
