11. PITCH BEND:
This function will momentarily increase or decrease a tracks playback speed. There are two ways to operate
this function with the (-) & (+) PITCH BUTTONS (25) or with the JOG WHEEL (14). The maximum pitch bend
percentage allowed is +/- 16%. The pitch bend function will work in conjunction with the PITCH SLIDER
(21) pitch setting. The PITCH SLIDER (21) adjustment can be changed to range from +/-8%, +/-12%, or
+/-16% (See changing "PITCH SLIDER PERCENTAGE RANGE" on page 16). For example, if the PITCH
SLIDER (21) is set to a 2% pitch gain the pitch bending process will begin at 2% and wi
ll continue to
the maximum of - /+16%.
PITCH BEND BUTTONS (25):
The (+) PITCH BEND BUTTON (25) will provide a speed bump and the (-) PITCH BEND BUTTON (25) will
provide a slow down. The extent to which the speed changes is proportionate to the amount of time the button
is pressed. For example, if the (+) PITCH BEND BUTTON (25) is held down continuously, the disc speed will
increases and will continue to increase until reaches a maximum of 100% speed gain. When you release the
(+) PITCH BEND BUTTON (25) the disc speed will automati
c
ally return to it’s previous speed.
Holding down or tapping on the
(+) PITCH BEND BUTTON (25)
will provide a speed bump in the
playback pitch.
Holding down or tapping on the
(-) PITCH BEND BUTTON (25)
will provide a slow down in the
playback pitch.

JOG WHEEL (14):
The JOG WHEEL (14) will temporarily bend the pitch if a track is in
play mode Rotating the wheel in a clockwise direction will increase
your track pitch and rotating the wheel in a counter-clockwise direction
will slow your track pitch. The speed you rotate the JOG WHEEL (14)
will determine pitch bend percentage (%).
