@koolbreeze > Actually, no - the "Pitch" fader is doing exactly what it's supposed to do; speed up / slow down the playback, which affects the "pitch" of the audio. If you engage Master Tempo (Key Lock), the pitch remains constant while the speed changes.
When you hold the SHIFT button while moving the pitch fader, it puts the hardware into a "release" mode so you could have pushed the tempo to +8%, held the shift button and moved the pitch slider to the opposite end, then released the shift and moved the pitch fader all the way to the + end again to have the deck playback at +24%.
