3.5 Five-Band Parametric Equalizer
The Equalizer module of the UltraChannel plug-in consists of five parametric filter sections that collec-
tively cover the entire audio spectrum. An editable EQ curve graphical display renders each equalization
filter curve individually, as well as a composite equalization curve for the cumulative EQ setting. Q
settings may be assigned for each filter section, and several boilerplate settings are configured for each
EQ section. You may change a frequency setting for any filter section by using either their respective
parametric controls or by selecting a point for that filter on the EQ curve graphical display and moving
it with your mouse. Additionally, each band can be turned on and off individually by using its respective
ON button. Each filter section is easily identified by its associated color. Like the Gate and Compressor
modules, the EQ module can be docked in another position in the signal processing sequence by clicking
on its upper left corner and dragging it right or left.
