6. If you wish to play back data at the current Vari
Pitch again, press the VARI PITCH key to turn the
LED on.
You can turn the Vari Pitch function on and off and
edit the pitch data while the D-108 is playing or stopped,
but not during recording.
However, if the Vari Pitch function has already been
turned on and the pitch data was specified before you
started recording, the D-108 will record using the
current Vari Pitch.
<Note>
• Even if the pitch data is 0.0% (no speed
change), pressing the VARI PITCH key will still
turn on the VARI PITCH function. The speed
is not changed, but the Vari Pitch is turned
on.
• The Vari Pitch function is automatically turned
off under the following conditions:
1. You have turned off and on the power to the D-108. (The
pitch data will be reset to 0.0%.)
2. You have set "Slave mode setting" in SETUP mode to ON.
(The pitch data previously set will be maintained.)
3. You have specified a track (or adat) for "Digital input track
setting" in SETUP mode, and [DIGITAL] lights up on the
display. (The pitch data previously set is retained.) Or, [EXT
SYNC] lights up on the display as the D-108 synchronizes
with the Digital In clock or WORD IN.
