MATCHING THE BEATS PER MINUTE (BPM)
Match the tempo by monitoring the music of both PLAYER 1 and PLAYER 2 by ear and adjusting the
pitch. When the tempo of the music of the selected CD player is slow compared to the tempo of the
other player, move the slider to the ( + ) side and match the tempo. When faster, move the pitch
slider to the ( - ) side. The following description is for the case of matching the pitch of PLAYER 2 to
the pitch of the music being played on PLAYER 1.
Press PLAY/PAUSE to start PLAYER 1
PLAYER 1 is playing
Press PLAY/PAUSE to start PLAYER 2
Both CD players are playing discs.
Listen to PLAYER 2 in your headphones
When PLAYER 2 is slow
compared to PLAYER 1
speed up PLAYER 2
When PLAYER 2 is fast
compared to PLAYER 1
slow down PLAYER 2
BEAT MATCHING USING PITCH BEND
If you find the BPM’s (Beats Per Minute or Tempos) are the same, however, the drum beats are not
matched you will need to temporarily change the pitch. This description is for the case of matching
the beat of PLAYER 2 to the beat of the music being played on PLAYER 1. (This procedure can be
done on either PLAYER).
After matching the BPM’s adjust the pitch temporarily as follows:
When PLAYER 2 is ahead press the
or rotate the jog wheel counter clockwise
or
When PLAYER 2 is behind press the
or rotate the jog wheel clockwise
or
The pitch changes automatically while the
or
button is being pressed or the jog wheel is
rotated. The faster you rotate the wheel the more you change. Releasing the button or wheel results
in a return to the original pitch. (So the BPM’s are once again the same.)
