Pitch Control; Track Delay - Alesis ADAT-XT20 Reference Manual

P
ITCH
The Pitch function controls the speed of the tape, and thus the pitch of the
audio recorded on tape. The XT20's Pitch control has a range of -300 to +100
cents when using a sample rate of 48kHz, and a range of -200 to +200 cents when
using 44.1kHz. Use the PITCH [ ] and [ ] buttons to control the amount of
pitch change. When either button is pressed once, the PITCH icon lights in the
display, and the TIME counter immediately displays the current amount of
Pitch change. The Pitch amount is displayed both as a percentage (%) and as
cents.

The XT20 allows you to delay the playback of any track in relation to the other
tracks (and the TIME counter) by a maximum of 170 milliseconds. This can be
very useful when some tracks are slightly "off", or when you need to move a
particular instrument to get it "in the pocket", or when you just want to create an
interesting effect (like copying a track and delaying the copy).
