GENERAL FUNCTIONS AND CONTROLS

A. CONTROLLER UNIT (FIGURE 3)

1. JOG WHEEL - This wheel has three func-
tions;
A. The wheel works as a pitch bend during

Playback. Turning the wheel clockwise can

increase the pitch percentage up to 100%,

and turning the wheel in the counter-clockwise

direction can decrease the pitch percentage

down to -100%. The pitch bend will be deter-

mined on how long you turn the jog wheel

continuously.

B. The jog wheel will also control the scratch

effect, when the scratch effect is active.

C. The jog wheel is also used to edit your

seamless loop. See page 19 for more

details.

2. VFD DISPLAY - This high quality VFD display

indicates all the functions, as they are occurring.
This display is viewable at several comfortable
angles (see page 8). The display ICONS will be
explained on page 14.
3. PITCH SLIDER - This slider is used to adjust
the playback pitch percentage. The slider is a
set adjustment and will remain set until the pitch
slider is moved or the pitch function has been
turned off. This adjustment can be made with
or without a disc in the drive. The pitch adjust-
ment will remain even if a disc has been remove
and will reflect on any other disc loaded into the
player. That is to say, if you set a +2% pitch on
one disc, remove that disc and insert another,
that disc too will have a +2% pitch. The amount
of pitch being applied will be displayed in the
VFD (2).
