Just as an example of a time when I wished I had a wider pitch range....

Trying to sync up a copy of Coil, Gloria Jones, and Softcell's versions of "Tainted Love." (there was a reason!)

Coil's is provided on a 45rpm disc. It's very, very slow. Even pitched to +8, very slow.

Gloria Jones' is on a 33rpm (at least, my copy.) Pitched to -8, it's still a bit faster than Coil's.

Softcell's is more in line with Gloria Jone's version, a little bit slower maybe - also didn't really sync to the Coil.

So, I needed something more on the order of +/-12 or 15%, which I couldn't do, given that they weren't my tables and I had 10 minutes before the show.

That said, I tend to mix a lot of electro into mixes, and often can't move from track to track due to pitch differences.

Finally: 313 relevance: Tristan - like the MP3 station. Good choices on the tracks.
