Pitch range at ±6%: 118-134 BPM — anything in that window beatmatches without sounding stretched.
Key on the fader: without key lock (Master Tempo on CDJs), above roughly +5% it plays a semitone higher, so treat it as 11A rather than 4A; below -5% it reads as 9A. With key lock on, it stays 4A across the whole range.
