KM-Q

This is an equalizer that has been improved on the basis of opinions from numerous well-

known artists who are devoted users of the first-generation KAOSS mixer.

HI: -25dB–+15dB MID: -25dB–+15dB LO: -25dB–+15dB

ROUND-Q

This is an all-around EQ that is a good choice for all styles of music.

HI: -28dB–+12dB MID: -28dB–+12dB LO: -28dB–+12dB

BOOST

This is effective when used as a booster. The mid- and high-frequency ranges of change are

broad, letting you create powerful sounds.

HI: -20dB–+18dB MID: -12dB–+12dB LO: -20dB–+18dB

SLAMMING

In order to aggressively modify the mid-range sound, the HI is set to a frequency range that is

lower than normal and the MID to a range that is higher than normal. LO uses a special curve

that changes gently in the “+” direction and steeply in the “-” direction, letting you apply high

expressive equalization.

HI: -30dB–+6dB MID: -30dB–+6dB LO: -60dB–+6dB

ISOLATOR

This uses a trapezoidal curve, and applies equally to the sound within each frequency band. It

can be used as an isolator that completely cuts the sound, and is able to instantly cut the sound

of a specific part.

HI: -∞dB–+9dB MID: -∞dB–+9dB LO: -∞dB–+9dB

HYPED

This EQ has a gradual curve. It is useful for modifying the atmosphere of the entire song, as

well as for tonal adjustments.

HI: -∞dB–+9dB MID: -∞dB–+9dB LO: -∞dB–+9dB
