Slowing down the playback speed
You can change the playback speed only while the
recorder is stopped.
When "Norm" in the "Play Speed" field is highlighted,
use the [JOG] dial to select "Half."
The playback speed is set to half the normal speed and
the pitch automatically raises one octave.
To change only the pitch, see the next section.
To return to the normal speed, use the [JOG] dial to
select "Norm."
The playback speed returns to the normal speed.
Changing the pitch
The following items can be set both while stopped and
during playback.
Using the [CURSOR ] key to highlight the "Play Pitch"
field, and then use the [JOG] dial to select the desired
pitch.
You can set the pitch within the range of +/- one octave.

Using the [CURSOR ] key to highlight the "Vo. Can-
cel" field, and then use the [JOG] dial to select "ON".
You can cancel the center-positioned sound such as a
lead vocal.
Depending on audio sources, you may not perfectly
cancel the sound you want to remove because it is not
exactly center-positioned. In such a case, perform the
next operation.
Setting the cancel position

Pos" field, and then use the [JOG] dial to set the de-
sired value.

" +99 " in one step increments.

cancel gets lowest.
Boosting the bass sound

field, and then use the [JOG] dial to set the desired
value.

and your guitar together from the headphones.

hear your guitar.
