on and off. This button will also change the pitch
percentage the
PITCH SLIDER (33)
will react to.
The pitch percentage can be changed between
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
to the different values please see page 25. The
LED above the
PITCH PERCENTAGE BUTTON
(26)
will indicate which pitch percentage mode
you are in, glowing red for 4%, glowing green for
8%, glowing orange for 16% or flashing green for
100%. Note when LED is not glowing in any color
the Pitch Function is not activated.
27. TEMPO LOCK FUNCTION -
This button acti-
vates the TEMPO LOCK function. This function
allows you to use the PITCH SLIDER 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.
