USING THE BPM DISPLAY FEATURE
Press the BPM button to select the BPM feature on the display on the side of the CD player that you wish to
set. Tap the Counter button to the beat of the music.
You will see the BPM number appear in the display. The more times you tap the more accurate your number
will be. When you adjust the pitch slider the display number will change by an equal percentage.
BEAT MATCHING USING PITCH BEND
If you find the BPM’s (Beats Per Minute or Tempos) are the same, however, the drum beats are not matched
you will need to temporarily change the pitch. The illustration below shows how to match the beat of PLAYER
2 to the beat of the music being played on PLAYER 1. (This procedure can be done on either PLAYER).
After matching the BPM’s adjust the pitch temporarily as follows:
When PLAYER 2 is rotate the jog wheel counter
clockwise
When PLAYER 2 is behind rotate the jog wheel
clockwise
The pitch changes automatically while the jog wheel is rotated. The faster you rotate the wheel the more you
change. Releasing the wheel results in a return to the original pitch. (So the BPM’s are once again the same.)
