17. PITCH BENDING:
This function will momentarily increase or decrease the tracks playback speed. There are two ways to operate
this function with the (-) & (+) PITCH BUTTONS (21 & 22) or with the JOG WHEEL (14). The maximum
pitch bend percentage allowed is +/- 100%. The pitch bend function will work in conjunction with the PITCH
SLIDER (17) pitch setting. The PITCH SLIDER (17) adjustment can be changed to range from +/-8%, +/-12%,
or +/-16% (See changing "PITCH SLIDER PERCENTAGE RANGE" on page 20). For example, if the PITCH
SLIDER (17) is set to a 2% pitch gain the pitch bending process will begin at 2% and wi
ll continue to
the maximum of - /+100%.
PITCH BEND BUTTONS (21 & 22):
The (+) PITCH BEND BUTTON (22) will provide a speed bump and the (-) PITCH BEND BUTTON (21) 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 (22) 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 (22) the disc speed will automati
c
ally return to it’s previous speed.
