B. the wheel also works as a momentary pitch bend during playback. turning the wheel clockwise will
increase the pitch percentage up to 16%, and turning the wheel in the counter-clockwise direction will
decrease the pitch percentage up to -16%. the pitch bend will be determined on how fast you turn the
wheel.

jacks as well as a pair of auDiO Out rCa JaCkS (20). the 3-pin XLR jacks send a high current balanced
output signal. these jacks should be used when you will be driving an amp or other audio equipment with
a balanced input, or whenever you will be running a signal line greater than 15 feet. Always, use these jacks
whenever possible.
22. USB PORT 2 - this is USB port 2 where you can insert your USB device to play Mp3 files.
23. POWER CONNECTION - this is the main power connection. Only use the supplied polarized power cord.
Use of any power cord may result in severe damage to the unit. Be sure the local power source matches the
