Equalizer Settings

You can make equalizer settings for the 4 bands. These have different default frequency values and different Q names. However, they all have the same frequency range (20 Hz to 20 kHz). You can specify different filter types for each individual module.

  1. Bypass EQ

    Click to bypass all EQ bands.

  2. Curve Display

    Click on the display in a channel to show a larger version. The display is also available in the Equalizers section of the Inspector and in the Channel Settings dialog.

    Hovering with the mouse over the display shows a cross-hair cursor. The current mouse position shows the frequency, note value, offset, and level at the top or bottom of the display.

    • Click and hold to add a curve point and activate the corresponding EQ band.

    • Double-click the curve point to deactivate it.

    • Drag the curve point up or down to adjust the gain.

    • Press Ctrl/Cmd to edit only the gain.

    • Drag left or right to adjust the frequency.

    • Press Alt to edit only the frequency.

    • Press Shift while dragging to set the Q-factor.

    • To invert the EQ curve, open the context menu and select Invert EQ Settings.

    The final curve shows the EQ settings as well as active high-cut and low-cut filters of the Pre rack settings. Bypassed filter settings are shown in a different color than the active settings. Disabled filter settings are hidden from the display.

    Note

    You cannot edit the high-cut and low-cut filters in the curve display. To edit the filters, open the Pre rack.

  3. Select Preset

    Opens a pop-up menu where you can load/save a preset.

  4. Activate Band

    Click to activate/deactivate an EQ band.

Band Settings

  1. Activate Band

    Activates the equalizer band.

  2. Gain

    Set the amount of cut or boost. The range is ±24 dB.

  3. Frequency

    Sets the center frequency of the frequency range to be cut or boosted. You can set the frequency either in Hz or as a note value. If you enter a note value, the frequency is automatically displayed in Hz. For example, a note value of A3 sets the frequency to 440 Hz. When you enter a note value, you can also enter a cent offset. For example, enter A5 -23 or C4 +49.

    Note

    Ensure that you enter a space between the note and the cent offset. Only in this case, the cent offsets are taken into account.

  4. Q-Factor

    Determines the width of the affected frequency range. Higher values give narrower frequency ranges.

  5. Type

    Opens a pop-up menu where you can select an EQ type for the band. Bands 1 and 4 can act as parametric, shelving, or high/low-cut filters. EQ bands 2 and 3 are always parametric filters.
