7 − Recorder Varispeed operations (pitch and SSA) You can play back and record at speeds which are greater or less than the original (±6%) to allow for differences in tuning, etc. It is also possible to play back a selected pair of tracks at the same pitch, but slower than the original (the SSA-Slow Speed Audition feature). This allows you to rehearse tricky lead lines, etc. at a slower speed, and can be combined with repeat playback ("Repeat" on page 55) for easy rehearsals. NOTE The monitoring status of the tracks played back using the pitch (varispeed) or SAA features is exactly the same as for normal playback. That is, if they have been assigned to a channel, the volume, etc. is controlled by the channel fader and controls. Pitch 1 Press and hold the PITCH/SSA key. The indicator lights and the display changes: 2 If the PITCH CONTROL section at the left of the screen is not active (it is not surrounded by the thicker frame), press the Ó key to move the cursor there. 3 Use the dial to change the pitch from -6.0% to +6.0% in 0.1% steps. If playback is being carried out while this is done, you will be able to hear the change. 4 Press the PITCH/SSA key to return to the home screen and once again to turn off the pitch change. NOTE The above steps can be carried out while playback is stopped or in operation, but cannot be carried out during recording. It is also possible to start playback while adjusting the pitch, but not to start recording at that time. To use the set pitch When the pitch change value has been set in the way described above, and the 2488neo shows the home screen, simply press the PITCH/SSA key briefly to turn the indicator on and to change the pitch. Press the PITCH/SSA key briefly once again to turn off the pitch change. SSA (Slow Speed Audition) 1 Press and hold the PITCH/SSA key, either during playback, or when the transport is stopped. The indicator lights and the display changes: 4 Use the dial to change the speed between 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90% and 100% (the displayed values are approximate). If playback is being carried out while this is done, you will be able to hear the change. NOTE The above steps can be carried out while playback is stopped or in operation, but cannot be carried out during recording. It is also possible to start playback while adjusting the speed, but not to start recording at that time. 5 Press the PITCH/SSA key to return to the home screen and once again to turn off the SSA mode. 2 If the SLOW SPEED section at the right of the screen is not active (it is not surrounded by the thicker frame), press the Á key to move the cursor there. 3 Use the channel SELECT keys to select the tracks which will be played back. These tracks are always in pairs. 68 TASCAM 2488neo To use the SSA When the speed change value has been set in the way described above, simply press the PITCH/SSA key briefly to turn the indicator on and to change the speed, but without changing the screen display. Press the PITCH/SSA key briefly once again to turn off the speed change.
