Activating Vari Pitch
1. Press UTILITY.
2. If you don’t see “PlyRec” above F4, press PAGE until you do.
3. Press F4 (PlyRec).
4. Turn VARI PITCH Sw on to activate the Vari Pitch feature—the VS-2480 takes a few
moments to switch to Vari Speed operation.
VARI PITCH sets the project’s playing speed—its default value is the project’s
sample rate. Higher values speed up playback, lower values slow it down.
5. Set the VARI PITCH parameter from 16.00kHz to 50.00kHz.
6. Press F6 (EXIT) to confirm your changes.
When Vari Pitch is turned on, a small V appears to the left of the current time in the
VS-2480’s display.
Preview
The VS-2480’s Preview feature plays a few moments of the project just before and/or
after the timeline’s current position. This can be handy when you’re trying to find the
precise time at which a recorded event occurs when you’re placing locators (Page 185)
or markers (Page 188). You can set the preview length as described on the next page.
There are three PREVIEW buttons. Press:
•
PREVIEW TO
—to play a few moments of the project
leading up to the timeline’s current position.
•
PREVIEW FROM
—to play a few moments of the project
starting at the current position of the timeline.
•
PREVIEW THRU
—is like pressing PREVIEW TO and
FROM one after another. When you press THRU, the
VS-2480 plays a few moments leading up to the timeline,
on through to a few moments after the timeline.
Probably the easiest way to calculate the desired VARI PITCH setting is to figure out the
percent of pitch change you need using a tuner, and multiply the project sample rate by
the percentage to arrive at the right VARI PITCH setting.
