3.6. Speed control
Use the pitch fader -14 H / S- in order to adjust the speed. If you push the fader
upwards the speed will decrease. Push the fader downwards and the speed will
increase. The currently set pitch value is shown in the info display -DXII-.
The adjusted pitch is shown in the software on the left and right side respectively
of the pitch fader. The range can be adjusted to +/-4%, +/-8%, +/-16%, +/-100%.
You can change the pitch range by either directly clicking on the software or by
using the hot key shift -23 H- plus the pitch bend buttons -15 H- on your
controller. The minus button will decrease the range while the plus button
increases the range.
Via the pitch bend +/- buttons -15 H- you can cause a temporary increasing or
decreasing of the track's speed for as long as you push the respective button.
The maximum speed pitch corresponds to the previously set pitch range-
This function is especially useful if you want to synchronize two tracks that have
the same speed but do not run synchrone.
Via the keylock function -16 H / S- you can freeze the tone pitch. This means that
the original tone pitch is kept no matter at what speed the track is being played.
This way you can avoid the so called “Mikey Mouse” effect.
Via the sync function -17 H / S- you can automatically synchronize two tracks.
The BPM value of the respective sync side is matched to the other player. This
useful function facilitates quicker mixing without losing too much time for speed
matching. Classic speed matching via pitch is also possible of course.
NOTE!
The sync function is carried out corresponding to analyzed BPM values. But
this does not mean that it will work flawlessly for every music style and type
of song. Before mixing one should always monitor and adjust the music.
Sometimes the BPM value of a track may not be displayed correctly, for example
if the BPM value seems to be way too high or low. This can be the case with break
beats or Drum & Bass. In this case you can manually analyze the BPM value. To
do so push the Edit BPM button in order to open the manual BPM menue.
