ADJUSTING PITCH/ALIGNING BEATS

Pitch Button: Activates the pitch slider and adjusts the amount of

control the pitch slider has on the overall speed of music.

Pressing “PITCH” will toggle the slider on and off. Range

adjustments of 6, 12, 25, and 100% can be achieved by
holding down “PITCH” and then pressing

to cycle

through the range options. This setting will be remembered

at power down.

Pitch Slider: By moving the slider toward “+” the speed of the

music speeds up. By moving toward “-” the speed slows

down. With 100% control the music can be stopped or played

at 2 times original speed. To match the speeds of two units

you can either monitor the music of both units by ear or use

the automatic BPM readout and adjust the pitch to match.

When the tempo of the music of the CD you wish to match is

slow compared to the tempo of the other music, move the

slider to the (+) end and match the BPM.

When faster, move the pitch slider to the (-) end. By making

this adjustment the speeds will be matched though the beats

may not yet be aligned.

Pitch Bend: Buttons and Jog Wheel: Allows the user to

temporarily change the speed of the music to align beats.

or

When the beats of the music of the CD you wish to match are
fast compared to the tempo of the other music press the

button or rotate the jog wheel counter clockwise (to the left).

or

When PLAYER 2 is behind press the

button or rotate the

jog wheel clockwise (to the right). The pitch changes
temporarily while the

or

buttons are being pressed or

the jog wheel is rotated.

The faster you rotate the wheel or the longer you hold the

buttons the more you change the speed. Releasing the button

or wheel results in a return to the original pitch.
