Tilt controls are combination controls that slope the frequency response of the system slowly over the frequency range to make the sound brighter or dimmer. They are less crude than conventional tone controls. The responses of the tilt control in DSP5000 are shown in Appendix 4 on page 61.

1.Press the w or the e menu key until the tilt display shows. The master display will momentarily show
