116 Chapter 10-Editing Parts Pitch Change The Pitch Change function is used to raise or lower the pitch of recorded material without affecting its length. For example, a 15-second section of material could be pitched by +100 cents and the length would remain the same. The pitch can be changed by up to ±1,200 cents (±12 semitones, or ±1 octave). Individual tracks or a pair of tracks can be processed simultaneously. To process all eight tracks, Pitch Change must be run four times, selecting a different pair of tracks each time. The pitch of the selected material is raised or lowered and the result is recorded to the specified virtual track, from which it can be copied or moved to its destination track. The source material is not overwritten. The following points, which can be adjusted in sub-frame steps, can be selected when specifying the edit points: LAST REC IN, LAST REC OUT, A, B, or a locate memory from 1 through 99. Note that you must set these points before entering the Pitch Change function. See the Quick Locate Chapter on page 57 for more information about setting these points. 1 Press the [EDIT] button. The EDIT indicator lights up. 2 Use the JOG/DATA dial to select "PITCH CHANGE," and then press the [ENTER] button. "MODE-RATIO" appears on the display ("RATIO" being the units selected for specifying the amount of pitch change). 3 Use the JOG/DATA dial to select either "RATIO" or "CENT." RATIO-pitch can be specified from 50% to 200%. CENT-pitch can be specified from -1,200 cents to +1,200 cents. 4 Press the [ENTER] button. If RATIO was selected, "MODE-RATIO 100.00" appears on the display. If CENT was selected, "MODE-CENT 0000" appears. 5 Use the JOG/DATA dial or keypad to set the amount of pitch change, and then press the [ENTER] button. "MODE-TEST PLAY" appears on the display. 6 Use the JOG/DATA dial to select a mode: "TEST PLAY" or "REC." Test Play mode allows you to audition the selected track with the specified pitch change, while Rec mode is used to perform the actual pitch change and record the result to a virtual track. Test Play Mode 7 Having selected "TEST PLAY," press the [ENTER] button. "PITCH CHANGE-FROM TR nn" appears on the display ("nn" being the source track containing the material to be pitched). 8 Use the JOG/DATA dial to select the source track. You can select individual tracks or track pairs: 1-8 or 1/2-7/8. To pitch a virtual track, assign it to a main track first, and then pitch the main track. D24-Owner's Manual
