This knob is used to adjust the playback pitch percentage. The knob is a set adjustment and will
remain set until the pitch knob is moved or the pitch function has been turned off. This adjustment
can be made with or without a digital source loaded. The pitch adjustment will remain even if the digi-
tal source has been removed and will reflect on any other digital source loaded into the player. That is
to say, if you set a +2% pitch on one digital source, remove that source and load another, that source
too will have a +2% pitch. The amount of pitch being applied will be displayed in the lcD (4).
12. PITCH BEND BUTTONS -
(-) PITCH BEND BUTTON - The (-) pitch bend function creates a momentary “Slow Down” in the

PiTCh aDJUSTMENTS
PITCH ADjUSTMENTS:
The different pitch adjustments allow a track's or a loop's playback speed to be manipulated. This
speed manipulations is commonly used to beat match between two or more music sources. The play-
back speed may be increased or decreased by a factor of +/-16. The next section details the different
pitch manipulation schemes.
1. PITCH kNOB (11):
This function will increase or decrease the
tracks playback speed or "PITCH." The max-
imum pitch percentage manipulation in this
function is +/-16%. The piTch knoB (11) is
used to decrease or increase the playback
pitch. If the knob is turned counter-clockwise
the pitch will decrease, if the knob is turned
Figure 30
clockwise the pitch will increase. The piTch
knoB (11) adjustment can be changed to
range from +/-4%, +/-8%, or +/-16% (See
changing "PITCH PERCENTAGE RANGE"
on the next page). The piTch knoB (11) will
only effect normal playback and loops when
the piTch knoB (11) is active.
Activating the PITCH kNOB (11): To
activate the piTch knoB (11) you must
turn on the pitch adjustment function. To
activate the piTch knoB (11) press the
piTch BUTTon (10). The pitch indicator
will glow in the LCD, when the function
is activated. If the pitch function is not
Figure 31
activated the piTch knoB (11) will not
function.
Using the PITCH kNOB (11): Be sure
the pitch function has been activated as
described above. To use the piTch knoB
(11) turn the knob either clockwise or
counter-clockwise. Clockwise will increase
the pitch and counter-clockwise will de-
crease the pitch.

Using
the
PITCH
PERCENTAGE
SELECTOR (13): You may choose a pitch
operating range at any time. To change the
operating range be sure the pitch function
is turned on, see figure 31. The pitch per-
centage can be changed between +/-4%,
+/-8%, and +/-16%. 4% will allow the least
amount of pitch manipulation and 16% will
allow the most amount of pitch manipula-
tion. To adjust the different values, press
the piTch pERcEnTAgE BUTTon (13) to
change the percentage, until your desired
percentage is reached.
Figure 33
2. PITCH BENDING:
Unlike the piTch knoB (11) adjustment this function will momentarily increase or decrease a tracks
speed during playback. To operate the PITCH BEND use the (-) & (+) piTch BEnD BUTTonS (12).
The maximum pitch bend percentage allowed by piTch BUTTonS (12) is +/-16%. The pitch bend
function will work in conjunction with the piTch knoB (11) pitch setting. For example, if the piTch
knoB (11) is set to a 4% pitch gain the pitch bending process will begin at 4% and will continue to
the maximum of +/-16%.
3. PITCH BEND BUTTONS (12):
The (+) piTch BEnD BUTTon (12) will increase track playback speed and the (-) piTch BEnD BUT-
Ton (12) will decrease track playback speed. The extent to which the speed changes is proportion-
ate to the amount of time the button is pressed. For example, if the (+) piTch BEnD BUTTon (12) is
held down continuously as in Figure 35, the speed will increases and will continue to increase until
it reaches the percentage the piTch pERcEnTAgE BUTTon (13) is set to. When you release the (+)
piTch BEnD BUTTon (12) the speed will automatically return to it’s previous set speed.
Holding down on the (-) piTch BEnD BUT-
Ton (12) will provide a slow down in the play-
back pitch.
Figure 34
Holding down on the (+) piTch BEnD
BUTTon (12) will provide a speed bump in
the playback pitch.
