Fine Adjustment Of Overall Song
Pitch (Vari-pitch)
When the AW2400 is set to use it's own internal clock as
the wordclock source it is possible to adjust the sampling
frequency over a small range to adjust the pitch and tempo
of song playback (Vari-pitch). This function can be useful
to match the playback pitch of an AW2400 song to an
acoustic instrument, or to adjust the length of a song.

AW2400 wordclock signal will be affected. Some slave
devices may not be able to synchronize properly to the
AW2400 wordclock signal when it is adjusted using the Vari-
pitch function.
Cascade-connecting External
Devices
Digital audio signals received at the AW2400 [DIGITAL
STEREO IN] connector can be mixed directly into the
AW2400's stereo bus (cascade connection). The output
from a digital mixer could be cascade-connected in this
way to allow the mixer's inputs to be mixed to stereo
along with the AW2400's own inputs.
