“CUE ON THE FLY” - This function allows you to set a CUE POINT (see CUE POINT
page 15) without music interruption (“on the fly”). This button also sets the starting point of a seam-

This button activates and deactivates the TEMPO LOCK function.
This function allows you to use the
piTch knoB (11)
to speed up or slow down playback speed
without altering the tonal pitch of the track. When this function is not engaged the original tonal pitch
of the track will be altered giving you the "chipmunk" effect when a track is played at a high rate of
speed, or the "James Earl Jones" effect when a track is slowed to much.
10. PITCH ON/OFF BUTTON -
This button is used to turn the
piTch ADjUSTmEnT knoB (11)
on
and off. The pitch percentage can be changed between 4%, 8%, and 16%. 4% will allow the least
amount of pitch manipulation and 16% will allow the most amount of pitch manipulation. To adjust
to the different values please see page 22.
11. PITCH kNOB -
This knob is used to adjust the playback pitch percentage. The knob is a set adjustment and will
remain set until the pitch knob is moved or the pitch function has been turned off. This adjustment
can be made with or without a digital source loaded. The pitch adjustment will remain even if the digi-
tal source has been removed and will reflect on any other digital source loaded into the player. That is
to say, if you set a +2% pitch on one digital source, remove that source and load another, that source
too will have a +2% pitch. The amount of pitch being applied will be displayed in the
lcD (4).
12. PITCH BEND BUTTONS -

you remove your finger from the pitch button, the BPM’s will automatically return to
normal. Holding
down this button will decrease the pitch to whatever the
piTch pERcEnTAgE SElEcToR (13
) is set
to. Use this function to slow to another playing music source. Be sure to notice that this function is
a momentary pitch adjustment.
