5. Activate the matching frequency band on the right-hand side by tapping once on its pa-
rameter bar.
6. Note that you can access the parameters and manipulate the associated Curve Points in 3
alternative ways:
a. By tapping directly on a dial in the parameter bar
b. By turning the hardware dials assigned each parameter
c. By tapping on one of the upper three software dials next to the hardware dials
7. With the correct band activated, navigate to the middle of the problematic frequency
spectrum by modifying the Frequency parameter. This will move curve points horizontally.
8. Modify the Gain parameter to adjust the desired amount of correction. This will move curve
points vertically.
a. Decrease Gain values to mute the frequency set within the audio mix.
b. Increase Gain values to enhance the frequencies below the active curve point.
9. Modify the precision of the edit by manipulating the Q parameter (Mid Bands only). This will
manipulate the curvature around the assigned curve point.
a. Increase the Q value to have the correction take effect in a narrow span around
the chosen frequency value.
b. Low Q values will widen the frequency range to be affected.
10. Repeat steps 3-9 with the other frequency bands if necessary.
11. (Optional) Save changes depending on the equalizer type:
a. Pad Equalizer (3-Band): By saving the drum kit (direct) or saving an EQ preset (indi-
rect).
b. Output Equalizer (4-Band): By creating a new EQ preset. (Output equalizers are no
drum kit parameters!)
12.2.1.2 COMPRESSOR
While the Equalizer allows for shaping sound by addressing certain frequency ranges selectively,
compressors will take effect across the whole frequency spectrum. In the G9, Pad Compressors are
implemented as Insert type Compressors (Input Channels in Kit Editor), so that the sound of each
pad can be shaped individually. The Result of Insert type compressors is audible in all outputs of the
G9 including Direct Outs. Compressors available in General Settings affect the sound of the output-
ted Stereo Signal (Group Track) as a whole. Keep in mind that the effects of both types overlap and
that the Output Compressors are applied on top of the pad compressors. At the Output, effects of
both types will add up. However, parametrization and functioning are identical.
