How to Adjust the Pitch
‧
Pitch Slider
With your first deck playing and your second deck cued, start playback in sync with the downbeat of the song.
Quickly adjust the pitch using the PITCH SLIDER
7
to match the tempo of deck one. Moving the slider up ( )
will decrease the tempo, while moving it down ( ) will increase the tempo.
‧
Pitch Bending
Use Pitch Bend Button
8
As you are finding the right tempo, the track position will drift until it is fine-tuned and the tempo is matched.
Pitch Bending provides a quick fix to keep the position as close as possible to deck one. Pressing the PITCH
BEND – or PITCH BEND + buttons will decrease or increase the speed of playback temporarily. The extent to
which the speed is changed is proportionate to the amount of time the button is pressed. For example, if the
PITCH BEND + button is held in continuously, the speed continues to increase until the maximum limit set by the
PITCH RANGE is reached. Once the PITCH BEND + button is released the pitch will return to the pitch set by the
PITCH SLIDER.
Use Jog Wheel
20
The jog wheel can also be used to temporarily bend the pitch of the music during normal playback. During
playback rotate the wheel clockwise to speed up and counterclockwise to slow down. The speed that you rotate
the jog wheel determines the percent of pitch bend.

Key Lock
9
This function allows the tempo or BPM of the music to be altered without affecting the musical key. While this
KEY LOCK LED
9
is illuminated, the key will be locked at zero.
