9.1 Using the Pitch Controls
each croSS player has its own pitch fader that works in a similar way as the pitch
faders you know from a turntable or cDJ player. the main difference of the croSS
pitch faders is that they offer three different pitch modes: Speed, tempo and Hy-
brid.
Selecting the Pitch Mode
perform one of the following actions to set the pitch mode:
•
click the Mode button in the upper part of the pitch section. the mode button is
labelled with the currently selected pitch mode (i.e. Speed, tempo, or Hybrid).
•
If you are using the u-mIX control 2 or u-mIX control pro controller
press the mode button above the pitch fader.
•
press (ÿ) to switch to the player; then press (P).
What are the differences between the three pitch modes:
•
Speed In Speed mode you can change the pitch like you would do with a nor-
mal DJ turntable. changing the tempo of the player changes the pitch of the
audio as well.
•
Tempo In tempo mode you can change the playback tempo with-
out affecting the tone pitch. the tempo mode thus has a similar effect
as the master tempo mode that is available with several cDJ-players.
In tempo mode croSS uses a time stretching engine, which allows playback
of audio at different tempos without changing the tonal key. When tempo mode
is activated, the pitch fader is no longer a pitch fader but more a tempo fader,
because a tempo change will not affect the pitch.
•
Hybrid Hybrid mode is a combination of Speed and tempo mode as it consid-
ers the percentage speed change.
