Frequency/Filter
10-Band EQ
The 10-band equalizer subdivides the frequency spectrum into ten areas
(‘bands’) and equips them with separate volume controls. This way it is
possible to create many impressive effects, from a simple boosting of the bass
to complete elimination of a certain range of frequencies. Note: If low
frequencies are boosted too much, the overall sound level is heavily increased
which may lead to distortion. In this event, adjust the overall volume downward
by using the "master volume" control situated in the main screen.
Slider controls: Each of the ten frequency ranges can be separately boosted
or turned down with the ten volume controls.
Link bands: Using this button flexibly combines the frequency ranges with
each other to avoid artificial-sounding overemphasis of an individual frequency
range.
A/B: If you have selected a preset for the effect and make manual changes to
it later, you can compare the original preset sound with the new settings by
using the A/B-button.
Reset: This resets the effect device to its original neutral starting point where
minimal processing power is required and no effect is added to the sound.
Touch screen (right EQ section): This is the "sensor field" of the EQ. Here you
can draw any type of curve with the mouse. This will be immediately translated
into a corresponding control setting on the left side of the EQ.
