MATCHING THE BEATS PER MINUTE (BPM)
Match the tempo by monitoring the music of both PLAYER 1 and PLAYER 2 by ear and adjusting the pitch. When the tempo of the music of the selected CD player is slow compared to the tempo of the other player, move the slider to the ( + ) side and match the tempo. When faster, move the pitch slider to the ( - ) side. The following illustration shows the case of matching the pitch of PLAYER 2 to the pitch of the music being played on PLAYER 1.
Press PLAY/PAUSE to start PLAYER 1 PLAYER 1 is playing
Press PLAY/PAUSE to start PLAYER 2 Both CD players are playing discs.
Listen to PLAYER 2 in your headphones
When PLAYER 2 is slow compared to PLAYER 1 speed up PLAYER 2
When PLAYER 2 is fast compared to PLAYER 1 slow down PLAYER 2
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.)
