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 ahead, 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).
