Graphic EQ, Parametric EQ, effects, and Premium Rack
V5.8 Reference Manual

Using the Premium Rack
The QL series console features processors that faithfully emulate meticulously-selected
vintage analog processors, and a newly-developed Premium Rack, as well as graphic EQs
and built-in effects. The Premium Rack employs VCM technology, which models analog
circuitry on a component level to faithfully reproduce and fine-tune amazing analog sounds.
The Premium Rack offers eight types of processors.
Using the Premium Rack
The procedure to set up the I/O patches for the rack are the same as those for the effect rack
(page 143).
For the premium rack, only racks 1–2 can be used via send/return. Racks 3–8 are only for
patching as inserts. (Refer to “Virtual rack operations” on page 130.)
