"Tap" you can use the ENTER (TAP)

recorder. By setting Trigger to "Signal",
you can vary the pitch according to the
level of the signal being input.

"Tap" and pressing ENTER (TAP) at just
the right time, you can obtain an effect
similar to that of using your hand to
stop a tape recorder. Give it a try while
inputting a signal from a CD (etc.).
