15. Speed/Tempo/Hybrid select: selects Speed or Tempo or Hybrid.

If Speed mode has been selected you can adjust the pitch like with a normal turntable.

If the Tempo mode has been activated it is possible to change the pitch via the pitch fader without inﬂuencing the

tone pitch. This means that the song’s tonal key remains the same while changing its speed.

The hybrid mode is a combination of the speed and the tempo warping modes, hence its name. It is equivalent to

the tempo mode in the (-33%; +33%) speed range and to the speed mode below -66% and above +66%. In the

remaining speed ranges (-66%; -33%) and (33%; 66%), the pitch is gradually increased or decreased to smooth

the pitch transitions.This mode gives the best of the speed and tempo modes: a more natural sound at extreme

speed values, and a wide constant-pitch range around 0% speed.
