sl1200 pitch lock?

[g12528]

do technics sl1200 have pitch lock? i have found a cheap pair on ebay and the seller will not ship so im guessing there isnt much interest in my area so im gonna try and win them..

only thing is i cant find any info about pitch lock so can you really only mix songs that are close in tempo nothing more than 2.5%? i know nothing about turntables so any help would be great

Nope, no pitch lock.

(to be fair can you get TTs that do pitch lock? - a mixer might be able to, but I don't know of any turntables that can ...though I am no expert)

its just that i looked at the stanton str8 150 and they had them

Fair enough - I did not know that ... I bought my 1210's as they seemed to be recommended by everyone, and were relatively cheap.

I use them predominantly with TSP though, which has internal key correction when I want to use it ...

did you go from cdjs to turntables? coz thats what i was thinking how do u find the 1200? im gonna be using them with tsp aswell. do you find them more fun?

shure 1200/1210 have pitchlock, when the fader is in the middle and the green led is lit then the pitch is locked. don´t confuse this with keylock which is available in good cd-players or in dj software

Went from purely using a controller with TP to controller + decks and TSP, largely because I wanted to learn how to scratch. I enjoy it, a great big control surface to play with is really nice, and it does feel like a more 'organic' experience ...

The high end stanton's have both key and pitch lock, they're digital decks thats how it works.

Yea That!

Technics 1200's have pitch lock.

the 8% range on the sl1200s doesn't make a huge difference in my opinion. but it's rare you'd use the whole range.

and if you're going to be using a DVS you can turn on key lock in the software
