as soon as the buttons are released the previous tempo is restored. this corre-
sponds to nudging a spinning record on a turntable and to the two pitch bend but-
tons found on cDJs. on a technical level pitch bending is used to move the phase of
a player. you may need this to get the beats of two tracks in sync, once they playing
at the same tempo.
the acceleration and deceleration factor is always relative to the current tempo
of the deck. CROSS DJ provides options to configure three different percentage
values, fine, normal and coarse which allow you to pitch bend.
Follow these steps to configure the three pitch bend factors:
go to the menu and click File/Preferences. make sure that the General tab
1
is open
2
use the three sliders to set the set the pitch bend factors for the different
ranges. please note: the factor for fine pitch Bend must be smaller than
the one for normal pitch Bend and the factor for normal pitch Bend must
be smaller than the one for coarse pitch Bend.
pitch bending can be done with the u-mIX control controllers, in the croSS
players with the mouse and with keyboard shortcuts, as the following table shows.
