(10) Pitch Slider
– This slider is used to adjust the playback pitch percentage. The slider is a
set adjustment and will remain set until the pitch slider is moved or the pitch function has
been turned off. This adjustment can be made with or without a disc in the drive. The pitch
adjustment will remain even if a disc has been removed and will reflect on any other disc
loaded into the player. That is to say, if you set a +2% pitch on one disc, remove that disc and
insert another, that disc too will have a +2% pitch. The amount of pitch being applied will be
displayed in the
VFD Display (23)
.
(11) Pitch Bend Buttons

Down” in the BPM’s (Beats per minute) while it is playing. This will allow you to

is a momentary function. When you remove your finger from the pitch button, the
BPM’s will automatically return to the

adjustment, for a more precise adjustment use the

BPM’s with another playing music source.
