Matching The Beats Per Minute (Bpm); Beat Matching Using Pitch Bend - Numark CDN-34S Operating Manual

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

When PLAYER 2 is slow
compared to PLAYER 1

USING THE BPM DISPLAY FEATURE
Press the BPM button to select the BPM
feature on the display on the side of the CD
player that you wish to set. Tap the Counter
button to the beat of the music.

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 press the
or rotate the jog wheel counter clockwise
The pitch changes automatically while the
you rotate the wheel the more you change. Releasing the button or wheel results in a return to the original pitch. (So the
BPM's are once again the same.)
