The pitch bend feature on the Pdx2300 mk2 pro

0:00 The reason being is simply this, alright?

Alright folks, Jonathan here. Right, another bit of info on this guy here, but first of all, this is what I'd like you to think of, okay? Consider this, alright? When I say you do a demo on a new piece of kit or anybody does on any video, it's very important that you comment. Now the reason being is simply this, alright? If you comment and maybe you think the actual piece of kit is good, it's bad, there are certain aspects you like, Thank you for watching. Thank you for watching. Whatever. Okay, now I hope you get the general idea. So basically if there are certain aspects on turntables or CD players or anything you like, mention it. Say you like it. If there are certain aspects you don't like then for goodness sake, mention it because it's you, sorry it's you not, you're the person and me, we're the people who count. Right now then, going back to this guy here, it's a Veztax PDX 2000, sorry 2300 Mark II Pro. Bit of a mouthful but it's a good deck.

1:48 In other words, if you speed the pitch up, the motor will move faster

Well, yeah, it is actually. Right now, the reason I'm doing this video, apart from what I've just said, is because of this. Now, a normal turntable or Qualorder turntables, what will happen is the motor turns at a constant, depending, of course, on how you actually move the pitch. In other words, if you speed the pitch up, the motor will move faster. If you slow it down, the motor will move slower. But there's always a certain amount of power going into that motor. Now, of course, the trouble is... With the likes of the SL and a lot of other turntables, when you put your finger on the top of the deck, you're putting a little bit of pressure and you're speeding that record up, but possibly you're speeding the actual motor up as well. And then also what you find is a lot of DJs will put their finger on the side here, so if I show you...

2:37 The motor has electricity going into it, so that motor is turning

Like this, to slow it down. Now what that's actually doing, tell me again if I'm right or wrong, what it's doing is you're actually putting pressure on the motor. The motor has electricity going into it, so that motor is turning. Now if you imagine, you are almost trying to stop that motor, right? It's the equivalent of having a car engine running and all of a sudden you're just trying to stop it when that engine's supposed to be turning and somehow you're just trying to put a spanner in the works, should I say. Now then, again, the reason I do like this deck is because you've got the actual pitch bend. Now then, what this does, okay, this does exactly the same as you putting your finger on the actual piece of vinyl to speed up and putting your finger here to slow it down. Now I did mention this in the last video. The reason I'm going on about this again is simply this, alright? Ellaskins, The DJ Tutor. Turn naturally as opposed to slowing it down unnaturally. That's what I'm trying to get across with this video apart from what I said earlier. Anyway, alright, small little insight. By the way, this is No Diggity, the drum and bass version and it's hot. Practice and enjoy.
