Sure, because with analog media all you can change is the playback speed,
which affects pitch and tempo proportionately. But surely everyone here
knows the difference, even those who are disk jockeys.

The MDS-W1 (and, per people who own it, the MDS-JB920) changes both. If
you set pitch control to -50%, the music plays half as fast and one octave
lower. The MDS-DRE1 can change either or both.

If you're talking about the DRE1, start by reading the manual (available on
the MDCP). It has a whole array of cuing functions, which, not being a DJ, I
didn't fully understand. I don't remember seeing mixing functions, though.
If you're talking about home models with pitch control, then you guessed
right: they do not have advanced cuing operations for DJ work.
