Vari Pitch Playback
You can play—and record—a project at different speeds to raise or lower the pitch of its
recordings. There are a few situations in which you might want to do this:
• You might need to record a new track using an instrument that can’t be easily
retuned to your already recorded tracks, such as a piano or organ.
• You can record a track at an abnormally slow or fast speed so that when the project
is returned to normal speed, the track sounds sped-up or slowed down as a special
effect.
Activating Vari Pitch
1. Hold down SHIFT and press F4•UTILITY.
2. If you don’t see “PlyRec” above F4, press PAGE until you do.
3. Press F4 (PlyRec).
4. Turn VARI PITCH Sw on to activate the Vari Pitch feature—the VS-2400CD takes a
few moments to switch to Vari Speed operation.
VARI PITCH sets the project’s playing speed—its default value is the project’s
sample rate. Higher values speed up playback, lower values slow it down.
5. Set the VARI PITCH parameter from 16.00kHz to 50.00kHz.
6. Press F6 (EXIT) to confirm your changes.
When Vari Pitch is turned on, a small V appears to the left of the current time in the
VS-2400CD’s display.
Audio CDs can only hold audio that’s at a 44.1kHz sample rate. If you plan to burn your
project onto a CD, don’t use Vari Pitch to set the project’s normal playback speed—use
it only during recording.
When you use Vari Pitch playback, the number of available project tracks may decrease.
In addition, the use of Vari Pitch may alter effect delay times and may change the sound
of distortion effects.
Probably the easiest way to calculate the desired VARI PITCH setting is to figure out the
percent of pitch change you need using a tuner, and multiply the project sample rate by
the percentage to arrive at the right VARI PITCH setting.
