CHAPTER 7
PITCH CONTROL
The Pitch function controls the tape’s speed, which changes the pitch of the audio
recorded on tape. The LX20’s Pitch control range covers -300 to +100 cents with a
48kHz sample rate, and -200 to +200 cents at 44.1kHz.
When adjusting pitch, the TIME counter immediately displays the current amount
of Pitch change as both a percentage (%) and as cents.

After adjusting pitch, the TIME counter reverts to displaying the current tape
location. However, if the pitch has been raised, a small ▲ symbol appears to the
right of the TIME counter; if the pitch has been lowered, a small ▼ symbol appears.
This reminds you that the pitch is offset from the normal value.
