11. Matching the Beats Per Minute (BPM )
There are two tools available for matching the BPM of the two CDs:
Use the pitch slider to adjust the BPM statically.
Use the PITCH BEND buttons to change the BPM temporarily.
1) Pitch Slider
To adjust the BPM by sliding the pitch slider up or down, press the PITCH button to turn on the PITCH
adjustment function before use.
Slide the pitch slider up to decrease BPM, or down to increase BPM. The adjustment range is +/-10%.
2)
Pitch Bending
The BPM increases or decreases respectively while the PITCH BEND+ or PITCH BEND- button is pressed.
The BPM increase depends on how long you hold the button. If you hold the button for about 1/2 second, theBPM will
go either to +16% for PITCH BEND+ or -16% for PITCH BEND-. If you tap the button, the BPM will only change a little
so you can change the beat slightly without audible changes in the music.
The CD will return to the tempo indicated by the Pitch slider when you let go to the PITCH BEND+ or -.
Figure 11-1 shows an example of how to use the pitch bend function. In this example, both players are playing and the
