18 TASCAM MP-VT1
Not only can you use the MP-VT1 to change the tempo
of track playback, you can do this without changing the
pitch. You can also change the playback pitch of a track
without changing the tempo.
These changes can be made on the PB CONTROL screen.
When the Home screen is open, press the ENTER key to
open the PB CONTROL screen.
NOTE
You can also access this menu from the MENU screen
by selecting and opening PB CONTROL.
Changing playback pitch and tempo
Use the TEMPO item to change the track tempo, including
reducing it up to 50%.
Playback speed is altered according to the tempo value
setting. The number shown is a percentage change.
On the Home screen the TMP indicator appears as light
letters on a dark background.
The available tempo change values depend on whether
the VSA function is ON or OFF.
VSA: ON Choose one of the following values (%):
–50, –32, –16, –12, –8, –4, 0, +4, +8, +12, +16
VSA: OFF Choose any value between –50 and +16 (%)
NOTE
If you set the tempo adjustment value when VSA is
OFF and then turn VSA ON, the nearest tempo value is
selected automatically
Changing the tempo (TEMPO)
Use the voice cancel function to control the apparent
level of voices in tracks being played back. Use the three
VOICE CANCEL items on the PB CONTROL screen to set up the
voice cancel function.
CANCEL
Set the CANCEL item to ON to turn the voice cancel
function ON. On the Home screen, the V.C indicator
appears as light letters on a dark background.
NOTE
The effectiveness of this function varies between
tracks and it cannot completely eliminate all voice
sounds. If turning this function ON does not reduce
the apparent voice level sounds as you want, or it
cancels different instrument parts, try adjusting the
following parameters for better results.
By adjusting the RANGE and PART items, you may be able
to achieve even more thorough voice cancellation. Please
listen as you adjust these settings to find the best setting.
RANGE
Use the RANGE item to set the frequency range in the
stereo position set with the PART item to be cancelled to
either mid-range frequencies (MID), which covers most
voice sounds, or the full range of frequencies (ALL).
PART
Use the PART item to determine the position in the stereo
spectrum (L10—R10) for cancellation.
For example, if the part you want to cancel is panned to
the left, try setting PART to L10 and adjust it toward the
center (L9, L8, etc.) until you achieve best cancellation.
Canceling mic sounds (VOICE CANCEL)
Turn the Variable Speed Audition (VSA) function ON to
keep the pitch the same when changing the tempo. Use
the VSA item to turn the VSA function ON and OFF.
When ON, the VSA indicator appears on the Home screen
as light letters on a dark background.
NOTE
During use of pitch control functions, playback may
sometimes sound uneven. This is the result of special
processing and is not a malfunction.
Change tempo without changing pitch (VSA)
Use the KEY item to change the pitch in semitones
without changing the tempo.
Use the KEY item to adjust the pitch up or down by 1–6
semitones (Ã6–â6).
When KEY is ON (changed from 0), the KEY indicator
appears as light letters on a dark background on the
Home screen.
Use the FINE TUNE item to adjust the pitch in cents
(100 cents = 1 semitone).
