17. PITCH BENDING:
This function will momentarily increase or decrease the tracks playback speed. There are two ways to operate
this function with the
(-) & (+) PITCH BUTTONS (21 & 22)
or with the
JOG WHEEL (14)
. The maximum
pitch bend percentage allowed is +/- 100%. The pitch bend function will work in conjunction with the
PITCH
SLIDER (17)
pitch setting. The
PITCH SLIDER (17)
adjustment can be changed to range from +/-8%, +/-12%,
or +/-16% (See changing "PITCH SLIDER PERCENTAGE RANGE" on page 20). For example, if the
PITCH
SLIDER (17)
is set to a 2% pitch gain the pitch bending process will begin at 2% and wi
ll continue to
the maximum of -
/+100%.
PITCH BEND BUTTONS (21 & 22):
The
(+) PITCH BEND BUTTON
(22)
will provide a speed bump and the
(-) PITCH BEND BUTTON (21)
will
provide a slow down. 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 (22)
is held down continuously, the disc speed will
increases and will continue to increase until reaches a maximum of 100% speed gain. When you release the
(+)
PITCH BEND BUTTON (22)
the disc speed will automati
c
ally return to
it’s previous speed.
