2. PITCH BENDING:
Unlike the PITCH SLIDER (26) adjustment this function will momentarily increase or decrease a tracks
speed during playback. To operate this function use the (-) & (+) PITCH BEND BUTTONS (29). The
maximum pitch bend percentage allowed is +/- 16%. The pitch bend function will work in conjunction
with the PITCH SLIDER (26) pitch setting. For example, if the PITCH SLIDER (26) is set to a 2% pitch
gain the pitch bending process will begin at 2% and will continue to the maximum of +/-16%.
PITCH BEND BUTTONS (29):
The (+) PITCH BEND BUTTON (29) will increase track playback speed and the (-) PITCH BEND BUT-
TON (29) 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 (29)
is held down continuously as in figure 31, the speed will increases and will continue to increase until
it reaches a maximum of 16% speed gain. When you release the (+) PITCH BEND BUTTON (29) the
speed will automatically return to it’s previous set speed.
Holding down on the (-) PITCH BEND BUT-
TON (29) will provide a slow down in the play-
back pitch.
Figure 29
Using the Pitch Slider Percentage Selector
(28): 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 27. The
pitch percentage can be changed between +/-4%,
+/-8%, or +/-16%. 4% will allow the least amount
of pitch manipulation and 16% will allow the most
amount of pitch manipulation. To adjust the dif-
ferent values, hold the % BUTTON (28) until your
desired value is reached.
