Then slide up the control PITCH to decrease
the pitch and slide it down to increase the
pitch.

changed proportionally. However, with the Master
Tempo function activated, the tonal pitch will
remain constant. To activate the Master Tempo
keep the button PITCH pressed until the blue LED
flashes.

Matching the beat between two titles
(Pitch Bend)
With the function pitch bend, the beat of a title on
player 1 can be matched (synchronized) to the
beat of a title on player 2 or vice versa. Thus the
rhythm will not be interrupted while crossfading
from one title to another. Unlike the adjustment
with the slide control PITCH this function will
temporarily increase or decrease a title's speed
during replay.

First use the pitch slide control to adjust the
same number of beats (BPM) for both music
pieces.
2
Then synchronize the beats of the two music
pieces by turning the jog dial.
• The function fast forward/reverse must be
deactivated.
• The change of speed depends on the turning
speed of the jogdial: Rotating the wheel in a
clockwise direction will increase your title
speed and rotating
counterclockwise direction will decrease your
title speed.

Return to the starting point of the title
or to a defined spot (cueing)
To quickly jump back to the starting point of the
title or to a defined spot, a starting point (cue
point) can be stored temporarily for the button
CUE. The cue point will be overwritten with the
starting point of the next title when the next title is
reached or when the next title is selected.

the button CUE in pause or play mode.
• The unit stops and returns to the starting
point of the title (cue point) and is in cue
mode.
• The button lights red.
• After jumping to the cue point, playback can
be started with the button [►II].
• Alternatively, you can keep the button CUE
pressed and momentarily play the title. The
display shows II. As soon as you release the
button the unit instantly returns to the cue
point and is in pause mode.
2
To set the cue point at a different spot of the
title, you can use the button IN during
playback to set it "on the fly" or the jogdial to
set it exactly to one frame (1/75 second).
Setting a cue point "on the fly": Press the
button IN when the desired spot is reached.
• Playback is not interrupted.
• The button CUE flashes repeatedly.
Setting a cue point precisely: Set the unit
to pause. Then use the jogdial to go to the
precise spot. After turning, the current spot is
constantly repeated. As soon as playback is
started with the button [►II] a new cue point
is memorized.
• The button CUE flashes repeatedly.
• The function fast forward/reverse must be
deactivated.
