2. PITCH BENDING:

Unlike the PITCH SLIDER (33) adjustment t

his function will momentarily increase or decrease a tracks

speed during playback. There are two ways to operate this function with the (-) & (+) PITCH BUTTONS (28 &
29)

or with the JOG WHEEL (16). The maximum pitch bend percentage allowed is +/- 100%. The pitch bend

function will work in conjunction with the PITCH SLIDER (33) pitch setting. For example, if the PITCH SLIDER
(33)

is set to a 2% pitch gain the pitch bending process will begin at 2% and wi

ll continue to the maximum

of +

/- 100%.

NOTE: A -100% pitch manipulation will stop playback entirely.

SAMPLE PITCH

Holding down or tapping on the (+)
PITCH BEND BUTTON (28)

will pro-

vide a speed bump in the playback
pitch.

Holding down or tapping on the (-)
PITCH BEND BUTTON (29)

will provide

a slow down in the playback pitch.

PITCH BEND BUTTONS (28 & 29):

The (+) PITCH BEND BUTTON (28) will increase track playback speed and the (-) PITCH BEND BUTTON (29)
will decrease track playback speed. 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 (28) is held down continuously as
in figure 43, the disc speed will increases and will continue to increase until it reaches a maximum of 100%
speed gain. When you release the (+) PITCH BEND BUTTON (28) the disc speed will automati

c

ally return to

it’s previous set speed.

You may change the

PITCH SLIDER'S (33)

operating range at any time. To change the operat-

ing range be sure the pitch function is turned on, see figure 39. The pitch
percentage can be changed between +/-4%, +/-8%, +/-16%, and +/- 100%.
4% will allow the least amount of pitch manipulation and 100% will allow
the most amount of pitch manipulation. To adjust the different values, press
and hold down the PITCH ON/OFF BUTTON (26) and Tap on the + PITCH
BEND BUTTON (28)

until your desired value is reached. The LED above

the PITCH BUTTON (26); glowing red for 4%, glowing green for 8%, glow-
ing orange for 16% or flashing green for 100%. Note, the pitch percentage
must be activated to get a LED reading.
