Vari Pitch
Vari Pitch allows the VS-1824 to match the pitch of
previously recorded tracks to the instrument currently being
recorded, or to produce certain special effects.
When recording an ensemble performance, all the
instruments normally tune to an instrument such as an
acoustic piano whose tuning cannot easily be changed.
However, it is sometimes necessary to record (overdub) an
acoustic piano onto an existing recording. If, in this case, and
the pitch of the recording is different than the pitch of the
acoustic piano, the new recording will be out of tune relative
to the previously recorded tracks.
In such cases, you can change the pitch of the recorded
performance being played to match the pitch of the
instrument you want to record. This is done by changing the
playback speed of the VS-1824.
To use Vari Pitch, use the following procedure.
1. Hold [SHIFT] and press [SYSTEM].
The System Menu appears in the display.
2. Press [F3 (PLAY)].
If you don't see "PLAY" above [F3], press [PAGE] until

When Vari Pitch is active, a small "V" appears next to the
