5.4.1EQ Mode

Pressing the EQ button puts the channel into EQ mode, and lights the EQ button red so you know what mode it is in. As you would expect, this mode allows you to adjust the EQ on the selected deck. But EQ mode also gives you access to “Transport” controls (PLAY, CUE, etc).

When the deck is paused, the top slider allows you to move the waveform of the deck and cue the track. When it is playing, it can be “nudged” to temporarily slow down or speed up the track (like a pitch bend).

If you hold the EQ preset button and use the top slider you can coarsely move through the song and pitch bend.

The 3 sliders under the top slider are for adjusting the 3 band EQ on the selected deck. (Figure 5.9)

If you hold the EQ preset button and touch an EQ slider, it will reset that slider to center. This is useful if you want to quickly set your EQs back to their “zero” position.
