Section Eight: Time Display Modes

Changing the Time Display Mode is as simple as pressing the Time but-

ton to toggle between elapsed and remaining time. Elapsed Time shows

how much time has past since the beginning of the track, and Remaining

Time shows how much time is left before the track is over.

You may press Time to change the Time Display Mode for both sides. If

you wish to change the Time Display Mode on both sides press

Shift+Time.

When the Time Display Mode is changed, you will also notice that the

Progress Indicator will also change to reflect either Elapsed Time or

Remaining Time.

Pitch Control, Pitch Bend, and Pitch Ranges

The Pitch Control allows you to speed up or slow down the playback of a

track by a desired percentage. The HDC-3000 offers Pitch Ranges of 4,

8, 16, and 24%, in order to provide a wide level of flexibility when

manipulating digital music files. In all modes, 0.05% Pitch Resolution can

be achieved, allowing for a more precise level of adjustment.

To toggle Pitch On or Off (the unit will not respond to pitch changes

when Pitch is Off), press both the Pitch Bend (+) and Pitch Bend (-) but-

tons simultaneously. The LED indicator will illuminate when Pitch has been

turned On.

To change Pitch Ranges, press Shift+Pitch Bend (+) OR Pitch Bend (-)

buttons simultaneously. The Pitch Display on the LCD screen of that

respective side will momentarily display the new Pitch Range.

For a momentary change in Pitch, the Pitch Bend (+) and Pitch Bend (-)

buttons will temporarily increase or decrease pitch relative to the amount

of time either button is held down.

When the Jog Mode is not engaged (LED remains unlit), you may also

use the Jog Wheel to perform a Pitch Bend.

Key Adjust and Master Tempo

The Key Adjust and Master Tempo controls allow you to have independ-

ent controls of Key Adjust and Tempo. When Master Tempo and Key

adjust are enabled, the Pitch Bend (+) and Pitch Bend (-) buttons

become Key Adjust buttons, with a range of +-5 half steps, displayed in

Sharp/Flat for +/-, and the Pitch Slider and Jog Wheel control Master

Tempo and Master Tempo bend.

To enable Master Tempo and Key Adjust, first you need to press the

Master Tempo button. If you press Key alone Key will not be enabled,

and must be turned on within Master Tempo mode.

To disengage Key Adjust, simply press the Key Adjust button at any time,

and the Key will return to it's original value. To return to Pitch mode sim-

ply press Master Tempo or press Pitch Bend (+) and Pitch Bend (-) . If

Key adjust is enabled then that will be turned off as well at this time.
