MATCHING THE BEATS PER MINUTE (BPM)
Match the tempo by monitoring the music of both PLAYER 1 and PLAYER 2 by ear 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 description is for the case of matching the pitch of PLAYER 2 to
the pitch of the music being played on PLAYER 1.
Press PLAY/PAUSE to start PLAYER 1

BEAT MATCHING USING PITCH BEND

If you find the BPM's (Beats Per Minute or Tempos) are the same, however, the drum beats are not
matched you will need to temporarily change the pitch. This description is for the case of matching
the beat of PLAYER 2 to the beat of the music being played on PLAYER 1. (This procedure can be
done on either PLAYER).
After matching the BPM's adjust the pitch temporarily as follows:
When PLAYER 2 is ahead rotate the jog wheel
counter clockwise
The pitch changes automatically while the jog wheel is rotated. The faster you rotate the wheel the
more you change. Releasing the wheel results in a return to the original pitch. (So the BPM's are
once again the same.)
