The 788 has two different types of speed control: PITCH
CONTROL and SSA. PITCH CONTROL simulates a tape
machine's pitch adjustment, which will alter the speed
and pitch at the same time of up to ±6%. SSA stands
for SLOW SPEED AUDITION, which keeps the pitch
constant, but slows the tempo down to 85%, 65%, or
50% of normal. SSA can be applied to any stereo pair
of tracks. SSA is strictly a playback function useful
for slowing down fast passages of songs you are trying
to learn.
