Variable Pitch
Stratamatic,
There are a few uses for the pitch control. I used to use it when I was exchanging tracks with others and adding to songs. A lot of recorders record at slightly different speeds. I can take a track from someone elses recorder and set my tracks to that recorders speed with the pitch control allowing "matchup" of the speed from their actual recording. Also, the pitch can be used (for slight variations) when you want to change the pitch to match an instrument you want to record that might have a fixed tuning and you cannot tune it to the other instruments you have already recorded.
Those are the 2 I am familiar with and have actually used the pitch control for those purposes.
If anyone else has used it for something else, I would be happy to hear those. It's always a forever learning curve.
Later
