Editing the EQ parameters

The chapters entitled “Track recording” and “Overdub-

bing” explained how to load an EQ library and use the

Selected Channel section [EQ] knob to make adjust-

ments. Here’s how you can make more detailed adjust-

ments to the EQ parameters.

1Press an [INPUT SEL] key, a pad 1–4, a

[TRACK SEL] key, or the [STEREO SEL] key to

select the channel whose EQ you want to

adjust.

2If desired, load library data from the EQ

library.

3Repeatedly press the Selected Channel sec-

tion [EQ] knob or hold down the [EQ] knob

and use the CURSOR [ ]/[ ] keys to access

the EDIT page of the EQ screen.

The EDIT page of the EQ screen lets you edit all of

the EQ parameters.

1ON/OFF button

Switches the EQ on/off.

BResponse curve

Graphically indicates the approximate response of

the EQ.

CFLAT button

Move the cursor to this button and press the

[ENTER] key to reset the boost/cut amount of all

bands to 0 dB.

DATT. (Attenuation) knob

Attenuates the signal immediately before it is input

to the EQ, over a range of –96 to 0 dB. This is used

mainly to prevent the signal from clipping when

you use the EQ to boost a speciﬁc frequency region.

EOutput meter

Indicates the level of the signal after it has passed

through the EQ.

FQ knobs

Specify the Q (steepness) at which each band

(HIGH, HI-MID, LO-MID, LOW) will be boosted or

cut. The range is 10–0.10, and higher settings will

produce a steeper curve.

GF (Frequency) knobs

Specify the center frequency of the boost/cut, over a

range of 21.2 Hz–20.0 kHz.

HG (Gain) knobs

Specify the amount of boost/cut, over a range of

–18.0 dB to +18.0 dB.

4Move the cursor to the parameter that you

want to edit, and use the [DATA/JOG] dial to

adjust the value.

5To switch the LOW band type, move the cur-

sor to the LOW band Q knob and turn the

[DATA/JOG] dial toward the left.

With the default EQ settings, the LOW band is a

shelving type. (The value ﬁeld for the Q knob will

indicate “L.SHL”.)

If you turn the Q knob toward the left, the Q knob

value ﬁeld will change to a numerical value, and

will switch to the same boost/cut type as the HI-

MID and LO-MID bands.

If you continue turning the Q knob toward the left,

the Q knob value ﬁeld will indicate “HPF,” and the

LOW band will function as a high-pass ﬁlter. If

“HPF” is selected, you can use the LOW band G

knob to switch the high-pass ﬁlter on/off.

6To switch the HIGH band type, turn the

HIGH band Q knob all the way to the left.

With the default EQ settings, the HIGH band is a

shelving type. (The value ﬁeld for the Q knob will

indicate “H.SHL”.)

If you turn the Q knob toward the left, the Q knob

value ﬁeld will change to a numerical value, and

will switch to the same boost/cut type as the HI-

MID and LO-MID bands.

If you continue turning the Q knob toward the left,

the Q knob value ﬁeld will indicate “LPF,” and the

HIGH band will function as a low-pass ﬁlter. If

“LPF” is selected, you can use the HIGH band G

knob to switch the low-pass ﬁlter on/off.

7To switch the EQ on/off, press the [ENTER]

key.

In the EDIT page, you can press the [ENTER] key to

switch the EQ on/off (except when the cursor is

located at the FLAT button).

Tip!

•If the meter display clips because you boosted a certain

band, lower the ATT. knob to attenuate the signal.

•The [EQ] knob of the Selected Channel section will still

operate even while the EDIT page of the EQ screen is

displayed.
