When selecting Digital mode, two additional parameters become available:
• Phase: When using the Equalizer in Digital mode, you have access to a phase slider for each of
the EQ bands. When the Phase slider is set to 0%, the currently selected band will have a Linear
phase response. When the Phase slider is set to 100%, the currently selected band will have a
Minimum phase response.
• Surgical Mode: Enabling Surgical Mode changes the filter curves to less musical, but far more
precise shapes.
Selecting Filter Shapes
In both Analog and Digital modes, Ozone provides the ability to set the type or shape of any of the
eight EQ nodes. Any node can be set to any of the following types of EQ filter types:
Highpass

• The Low-Pass and High-Pass filters are Butterworth filters; optimized for maximum flatness
without ripple or resonance in the passband or stopband.
• The Brickwall Low-Pass/High-Pass filters are elliptic filters; optimized for steepness with minimal
ripple in the passband and stopband.
• The Vintage-type filters exhibit a complimentary frequency dip, modeled after the renowned
Pultec analog Equalizer, creating a complex slope with one node.
Frequency/Gain/Bandwidth
Individual parameter adjust mode also lets you adjust the frequency, gain, and bandwidth for the
currently selected band. You can adjust them graphically, as with the Spectrum View, but in this view
you can also adjust them by clicking and dragging on the numerical parameters (frequency/gain) and
the numerical parameter (bandwidth, aka Q).
