One turntable serato pitch way off12/27/2022 This translates to a F# (remember, 0% 33 rpm was middle C). On a technics 1200 turntable that *has a pitch control in GOOD CONDITION*, you will find that about +4.5% on 45rpm will give you the highest speed on 45 rpm that still falls onto a solid semitone. You don't want to take a sample and have your sample inbetween two half steps, because then you have to deal with fine tuning, etc. It should not be teetering between two half steps, for example, going back and forth hunting between F and F# (a little sharp or a little flat). Put the turntable on 45 rpm, and using the guitar tuner, go up and down the pitch control (technics 1200) finding the highest speed that gives a *solid semitone* meaning the guitar tuner should be holding still on semitone X, X#, etc. Being that need to sample in fast to save as much sample time, here is what I do: So if you sample out of tune, every note will be out of tune. The sp-1200 only pitches in semitones(halfsteps) with no way to fine tune. When I use my old samplers like my sp-1200, I have no option for fine tune. With the record playing at 0% 33 rpm, the guitar tuner should hold a solid C. (If you do not have a test tone record, but you have serato, use soundforge or any other program to make a middle C tone wave file, and load that into serato). The easiest way to test this is using a middle C sine test record, with the addition of a guitar tuner.
