This chapter explains how to change the playback speed of

You can turn the Vari Pitch function on and off and edit the

pitch data while the FD-4 is playing or stopped, but not

during recording.

However, if the Vari Pitch function has already been turned

on and the pitch data was specified before you start

recording, the FD-4 will record using the current Vari Pitch.

<Note>

Even if the pitch data is 0.0% (no speed change), pressing the

VARI PITCH key will turn on the [VARI PITCH] indicator on the

display. In other words, the [VARI PITCH] display indicates that the

Vari Pitch function is turned on.

<Note>

The Vari Pitch function is automatically turned off and the [VARI

PITCH] indicator is turned off under the following conditions:

• You have turned on the power to the FD-4. (The pitch data will

be reset to 0.0%.)

• You have set “Slave mode setting” in SETUP mode to ON. (The

pitch data previously set will be maintained.

• You have specified a track for “Digital input track setting” in SETUP

mode, and [DIGITAL] lights up on the display. (The pitch data

previously set is retained.)
