5.10 Pitch Bend – matching the beat
between two music pieces
When operating two CD / MP3 players, the beats
of two music pieces with the same speed can
be synchronized precisely . Thus, the dancing
rhythm will not be interrupted when crossfading
from one unit to the other .
1) First use the speed control (11) to adapt the
speed of the music piece to which crossfad-
ing is desired to the speed of the current
music piece . For this purpose, set the same
number of beats per minute with the sliding
control, see indication (P) at the bottom on
the right of the display .
2) Synchronize the beats of the music piece
to which crossfading is desired to the beats
of the current music piece with the buttons
PITCH BEND (8): As long as the button +
or − is kept pressed, the replay of the title will
be by 16 % faster or slower . Thus, the beats
will be displaced with respect to the beats of
the current music piece .
3) The beats will also be displaced when the jog
wheel (16) is turned .

gramme an individual sequence of titles with
99 titles as a maximum . With MP3 mode, the
titles can be compiled from different folders or
play lists . However, different from a play list,
