SSA (Slow Speed Audition)
You can play back and record at speeds which are greater
or less than the original (±6%) to allow for differences in
tuning, etc.
It is also possible to play back a selected pair of tracks at
the same pitch, but slower than the original (the SSA—Slow
Speed Audition feature). This allows you to rehearse tricky
lead lines, etc. at a slower speed, and can be combined with
repeat playback (“Repeat” on page 55) for easy rehearsals.
NOTE
The monitoring status of the tracks played back
using the pitch (varispeed) or SAA features is exactly
the same as for normal playback. That is, if they
have been assigned to a channel, the volume, etc. is
controlled by the channel fader and controls.
