Making Fine Adjustments To The Playback Pitch (Pitch) - Roland CD-2e Owner's Manual

Making Fine Adjustments to the Playback Pitch (Pitch)

This adjusts the pitch of the playback sound in one-cent steps. One cent is 1/100th of a
semitone.
Sometimes when you are practicing your instrument along with a CD, you may have
difficulty because the CD playback is pitched slightly different than your instrument. In
such cases, you can adjust the CD playback pitch to match your instrument.
When you're using an instrument that is not easily tuned, such as an acoustic piano, you
can adjust the pitch of the CD so that it matches your instrument.
