Table 1

To adjust the mode, activate the band. Press a key (Table 2) to change the mode value. The ac- tive mode is highlighted and the adjacent softkey is lit.

CH1 & CH2

These two keys patch the band controls to the according channels. The band controls can either be separate for each channel or ganged together.

Key D

bypass

Table 2

If the band bypass is on (highlighted), its filter settings (type and parameters) are saved but have no effect on the audio signal. Turning bypass off will restore the previous band settings.

Bypassing all bands is sonically equivalent to using the overall bypass (refer to EQ Bypass) if the gain is set to 0.0dB.

The key is lit for the active channel.

To copy CH1 settings to CH2 or vice versa, press the “copy” key and select an option (Graph 6).

Ganged

When this key is lit, the band controls act for both channels simultaneously. Switching channels while the “ganged” key is lit will activate CH1 and CH2 settings alternately for both channels.

Only bands 1, 2, 5, and 6 can be set into dynamic mode. This allows for linear gain adjustment be- fore and after a dynamic band.

If ganged is off, the controls will affect the active channel only.
