Bug Description
This is a request from a fellow vinyl DJ who is used to ultra-pitch feature of some older Vestax turntables, but kind of fell in love with Mixxx and my Reloop TerminalMix recently.
If I understood it correctly, on those devices you could shift the pitch range center with a small slider, while you could still fine-tune the speed with the actual pitch slider.
Example: speed up the track to +30% with ultra pitch, then you can use the regular pitch fader (+-10%) to fine-adjust the speed between +20% and +40%.
This allows to beatmatch tracks which are too different to be mixed with the regular +/-8% pitch range. Increasing the pitch range to something like 50% provides the sufficient range but apparently lacks the fine-grained control.
For various reasons, pushing the Sync button is also not an option... ;)
* I'm using [Shift + wheel turn] to increase rate by 1 BPM for a while now.
I imagine this a proper control to shift the pitch range as well.
* rate range display near pitch slider should provide sufficient on-screen
feedback, see lp:1762174
* [Shift + pitch slider center] could reset the pitch range to default +/-N%

We already have the rateRange control. However this is not scaled well to fit on a knob control.
It sounds as if this does not suite, right?
It sounds as if the knob is a coarse rate slider that keeps the normal rate slider on 8 %.
