Beat Matching Using Pitch Bend - ION iCD02K Owner's Manual

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.
You will see the BPM number appear in the display. The more times you tap the more accurate your number
will be. When you adjust the pitch slider the display number will change by an equal percentage.

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. The illustration below shows how to match 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 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.)
EXAMPLE OF MIXING USING BOTH PLAYERS OF YOUR CD PLAYER
While playing a disc on PLAYER 1, load a disc into PLAYER 2 and select your next track, match its pitch to the
track playing on PLAYER1 and when you are ready use the crossfader on your mixer to fade from PLAYER 1 to
PLAYER 2.
Load a disc in PLAYER 1 and
select the track and press PLAY.
Load a disc in PLAYER 2 and
select the track then play.
