Інструкція з експлуатації

Базове відтворення компакт-дисків

  1. Load an audio CD as described in the Setup section.
  2. Press the PLAY/PAUSE button to start playback. The unit may take a few moments to read a new CD before starting.
  3. Use the SKIP buttons (left/right arrows) to navigate between tracks.
  4. Press the STOP button to halt playback.
  5. The FLASH BACK button allows you to quickly rewind a few seconds during playback.

Контроль темпу

The TEMPO function allows you to slow down or speed up the CD playback without changing the pitch, ideal for learning fast passages.

  1. During CD playback, press the TEMPO button.
  2. Use the VALUE buttons (up/down arrows) to adjust the tempo percentage. A lower percentage slows down the track.
  3. Note: Significant tempo reduction (e.g., below -50%) may introduce a slight "warbling" or distortion effect, which is a characteristic of the digital processing.

Key Control (Pitch Shift)

The KEY function allows you to change the pitch of the CD playback in semitone steps without altering the tempo, useful for matching your instrument's tuning or playing in different keys.

  1. During CD playback, press the KEY button.
  2. Use the VALUE buttons to adjust the key up or down in semitone increments.
  3. Adjusting the key by a full step (+1 or -1) corresponds to a half-step in musical terms (e.g., E to E-flat).

Циклічне відтворення

Use the LOOP function to repeatedly play a specific section of a song, aiding in focused practice.

  1. During CD playback, press the LOOP button at the desired start point (A).
  2. Press the LOOP button again at the desired end point (B). The section between A and B will now loop continuously.
  3. To exit loop playback, press the LOOP button a third time.

Guitar Cancel

The GUITAR CANCEL feature attempts to reduce the level of the guitar part in a CD track, making it easier to play along.
