BPM (Beats Per Minute)
MATCHING THE BPM (BEATS PER MINUTE)
Match the tempo by hearing the music of PLAYER 1 and PLAYER 2 and adjusting the pitch. When the tempo of the
music of the selected CD player is slow compared to the tempo of the other player, move the slider to the ( + ) side
and match the tempo. When faster, move the pitch slider to the ( - ) side. The following illustration shows the case of
matching the pitch of PLAYER 2 to the pitch of the music being played on PLAYER 1.
1. Press PLAY/PAUSE to start PLAYER 1.
2. Press PLAY/PAUSE to start PLAYER 2.
3. Listen to PLAYER 2 in your headphones. If the beat of Channel 2 (in the headphones) is
faster than Channel 1, slow down the beat of Channel 2 using the pitch control.
4. If the beat of Channel 2 (in the headphones) is slower than the beat of Channel 1, speed up
the beat using the pitch control.
BEAT-MATCHING USING PITCH BEND
If you find the BPMs (beats per minute or tempo) are the same but the drum beats are not matched, you will need to
temporarily change the pitch. After matching the BPMs, adjust the pitch temporarily as follows:
1. When PLAYER 2 is ahead, rotate its JOG WHEEL counter-clockwise.
2. When PLAYER 2 is behind, rotate its JOG WHEEL clockwise.
3. The pitch changes automatically while the JOG WHEEL is rotated. The faster you rotate the wheel, the more
the pitch is changed. Releasing the wheel results in a return to the original pitch with the BPMs once again the
same.
