• Band 5 On/Off button: Switch on a parametric filter with three controls. Frequency
sets a center frequency. Q sets the width of the frequency band around the center
frequency. Gain sets the level of the band.
• Band 5 background or control point: Drag the aqua shaded area, curve, or control
point to change the frequency and gain values. Click the control point to select the
band.
• Band 5 horizontal line: Drag vertically to change the gain value.
• Band 5 vertical line: Drag horizontally to change the Q value.
• Band 5 vertical/horizontal lines: Drag to change the gain and Q values.
• Band6 On/Off button: Switch on a parametric filter with three controls. Frequency
sets a center frequency. Q sets the width of the frequency band around the center
frequency. Gain sets the level of the band.
• Band 6 background or control point: Drag the blue shaded area, curve, or control
point to change the frequency and gain values. Click the control point to select the
band.
• Band 6 horizontal line: Drag vertically to change the gain value.
• Band 6 vertical line: Drag horizontally to change the Q value.
• Band 6 vertical/horizontal lines: Drag to change the gain and Q values.
• Band7 On/Off button: Switch on a high shelving filter that adjusts the level of high
frequencies and has a minimal impact on frequencies below the cutoff (set) frequency.
• Band 7 background or control point: Drag the purple shaded area, curve, or control
point to change the frequency and gain values. Click the control point to select the
band.
• Band 7 horizontal line: Drag vertically to change the gain value.
• Band 7 vertical line: Drag horizontally to change the Q value.
• Band 7 vertical/horizontal lines: Drag to change the gain and Q values.
• Band8 On/Off button: Switch on a high cut filter that allows low frequencies to pass
and reduces the level of high frequencies near the cutoff (set) frequency.
• Band 8 background or control point: Drag the pink control point to change the
frequency and Q value. Drag the pink shaded area horizontally to change the
frequency value.
• Band 8 vertical/horizontal lines: Drag vertically to change the slope.
• Frequency control: Drag to set the frequency of the selected band.
• Gain/Slope control: Drag to set the amount of gain for the selected band. For bands 1
and 8, this changes the slope of the filter.
• Qcontrol: Drag to set the Qfactor or resonance of the effected range around the center
frequency in the selected band.
Note: The Qparameter of band1 and band8 has no effect when the slope is set to
6decibels per octave. When the Qparameter is set to an extremely high value, such as
100, these filters affect only a very narrow frequency band and can be used as notch
filters.
• Analyzer Range display: Drag vertically to adjust the scaling of the Analyzer range.
Control-click to open a shortcut menu where you can set the Analyzer Range value.
