11. Matching the Beats Per Minute (BPM)

With the unit, there are two ways to adjust the playing speed and match the BPMs of the two CDs:

• Use the pitch slider to adjust the BPM statically.

• Use the PITCH BEND buttons to change the BPM temporarily.

1) Pitch Slider

• To adjust the BPM by sliding the pitch slider up or down, press the PITCH button to turn on the

PITCH adjustment function before use.

• The BPM increase depends on how long you hold the button. If you hold the button for about 1/2 second, the BPM will go either to +16% for PITCH BEND+ or -16% for PITCH BEND-. If you tap the button, the BPM will only change a little so you can change the beat slightly without audible changes in the music.

• The CD will return to the tempo indicated by the Pitch slider when you let go of the PITCH BEND

+ or -.
