There are a number of additional useful
features available with the iDea preamp.
Here's a quick look at how to use them.
Playback Speed Control
The iDea preamp features a pitch-stable

Select PLAY from the MAIN MENU, scroll to
the TEMPO SET and select it. It will bring

The selected playback speed will remain in
effect until you change it back.
