PEQ (Channel, FX return and Mix)
The equaliser is 4-band fully parametric with
cut/boost, swept frequency and width controls per
band. The HF and LF bands may be switched as
shelving, bell or pass type filters. The WIDTH
control turns off if the band is set as shelving. GAIN
turns off if the band is set as a pass type. The
TouchScreen gives you a graphical view of the EQ
curve and alternative data entry using touch boxes
and encoder.
As with most of the processing blocks, you can
store and name your settings as user libraries. You
can also copy the settings to other channels, or
reset them to give you a known starting point.
GEQ (Mix only)
A third octave graphic equaliser is provided for
every mix output. This gives you up to 32 GEQs
depending on how many mixes you have
configured. The GEQ has 25 bands from 63Hz to
16kHz. To access the GEQ touch the GEQ box in
the mix master top ‘thumbnail’ screen. Touch the
screen slider to highlight a frequency band. Use a
stylus, finger or the screen encoder to adjust the
setting.
Press the screen GEQ Fader Flip button or press
the GEQ FADER FLIP key next to the faders while
the SEL key for the master is active to present the
GEQ across the fader banks. Using the fader key
you can access the GEQ without having to open up
its TouchScreen page.
The faders become the cut/boost controls for the
frequency bands. The strip on the right becomes
the master for the mix so that you can adjust the
overall level while adjusting the frequencies. That
may present the master fader or a channel send
depending on which MIX was current when you
switched to GEQ fader mode.
The strip LCDs change colour to red and display
the frequency for each band. The strip SEL keys
reset individual bands to their centre ‘0’ position.
Their green LEDs turn on when the band is reset to
‘0’. The RTA is also displayed across the meters
while in GEQ faders mode. This follows the current
PAFL selection.
Press the screen or fader bay GEQ FADER FLIP key
again to toggle back to normal fader view (or to the
second GEQ layer on the smallest iLive-80 surface).
You can store your GEQ settings as user libraries,
and use the Surface edit keys to quickly copy and
reset settings.
