Pitch Bending
- Use Pitch Bend Button
10
As you are finding the right tempo, the track position will drift until it is fine-tuned and the tempo is matched.
Pitch Bending provides a quick fix to keep the position as close as possible to deck one. Pressing the PITCH
BEND – or PITCH BEND + buttons will decrease or increase the speed of playback temporarily. The extent to
which the speed is changed is proportionate to the amount of time the button is pressed. For example, if the
PITCH BEND + button is held in continuously, the speed continues to increase until the maximum limit set by the
PITCH RANGE is reached. Once the PITCH BEND + button is released the pitch will return to the pitch set by the
PITCH SLIDER.
- Use Jog Wheel
24
The jog wheel can also be used to temporarily bend the pitch of the music during normal playback. During
playback rotate the wheel clockwise to speed up and counterclockwise to slow down. The speed that you rotate
the jog wheel determines the percent of pitch bend. It is recommended that you use the outer edge of the jog
wheel for this type of control, as touching the top surface may cause interruption of playback in certain modes of
operation.
- Key Lock
This function allows the tempo or BPM of the music to be altered without affecting the musical key. While this
button is illuminated, the key will be locked at zero.
