006 Varispeed Rate

This setting allows for setting a varispeed playback rate. This function allows playback of audio over a
range of speeds from 88.5% to 112.5% of nominal play speed. This range varies according to the sample
rate selected. Varispeed varies the playback frequency as well as the digital sample clock on the digital
output. The precise speed can be set from ViewNet in increments of .01% over the entire range.

This function works by changing the sampling rate of the unit and this is reflected in the sample rate of
the digital audio output stream from the MMR/MMP, which will vary according to the speed set in this
menu. This is different from the jog/shuttle mode because that mode produces a constant sample rate
output while scrubbing audio off speed. Note that the Varispeed Mode is mutually exclusive with
Timecode Chase or Biphase Chase and thus the unit cannot be synchronized to an external source while
in this mode.

The default value is 100%.
