controls many functions of the CD

section for more details.
Basically, the JOG WHEEL has

frame search control when CD play-
er is in the PAUSE or CUE mode, al-
lowing you to set a CUE point with
frame by frame precision.
---- THE JOG WHEEL also works
as a pitch bend during playback.
Turning the wheel clockwise will in-
crease pitch up to 100%, and turn-
ing the wheel in the counterclock-
wise direction will decrease pitch
down to -100%. The pitch bend is
based on how long you turn the jog
wheel continuously.

trols the BOP function. While in
a SCRATCH CUE mode, you can
jump to CUE (IN) point by simply
touching the WHEEL. When you
touch, release and touch again JOG
WHEEL fast, you simulate BOP ef-
fect.

mode, you can adjust OUT point
of a loop by pressing RELOOP for
two seconds and turning a WHEEL

RUNNING LANE. If you make a
loop very short, you get BOP / stut-
ter effect.

CUE mode you can also use the
