Changing the playback speed
Use the SPEED knob to adjust the playback speed without
changing the pitch.
The speed adjustment range is –50% to +16% (in 1% incre-
ments), so the slowest speed setting is half the original
speed.
Reducing the sound at a certain stereo position
(PART CANCEL)
You can select a certain stereo position and reduce the
volume of the sound from that position. For example,
selecting C (center) on commercially-available audio CDs
reduces the vocal sound.
CAUTION
Depending on the stereo position of the sound and the
use of reverb (echo), the part cancel function might not
be effective or might be less effective than expected.
