Effects Parameters
8-10
e Graphic equalizer is available as stereo (linked parameters for left and right) or dual
mono (independent controls for left and right). It has 10 bandpass lters per channel, each of
whose gain is adjustable from -12 dB to +24 dB.
Like all graphic equalizers, the lter response is not perfectly at when all gains are set to the
same level (except at 0 dB), but rather has ripple from band to band. To minimize this ripple,
it is best to center the overall settings around 0 dB.
e Parametric equalizer (“5-Band EQ”) has two bands of shelving lters and three bands of
true parametric EQ.
Treb Freq and Bass Freq set the center frequencies for the shelving lters. Both of these are
adjustable over the full range of 16 to 25088 Hz, in increments of a semitone.
Treb Gain and Bass Gain control the amount of cut or boost above (Treb) or below (Bass)
the center frequency. e range is -79 to +24 dB.
Midn Gain sets the cut or boost for the parametric band n, with a range of -79 to +24 dB.
Midn Freq sets the center frequency for parametric band n, with a range of 16 to 25088 Hz,
in increments of a semitone.
Midn Width set the bandwidth of the lter on band n, with a range of 0.01 to 5 octaves.
Enhancers
Enhancers modify the spectral content of the input signal by boosting existing spectral
content, or stimulating new ones. Two and three-band versions are provided.
Drive adjusts the input into each band. Increasing the drive will increase the eects. Range is
-79.0 to 24.0 dB.
Xfer adjusts the intensity of the transfer curves. Range is -100 to 100%.
EQ Morpher
is eect uses two four-band bandpass lters, A and B, and moves between them. is can
produce very convincing human vocal type sounds.
FreqScale osets the lter frequencies for each set of lters. After setting the lter parameters
(Freq, Gain, and Width), the FreqScale parameters will move each of the four lter
frequencies together by the same relative pitch. Range is -8600 to 8600 cents.
Morph A>B. When set to 0% the “A” parameters are controlling the lters, and when set
to 100%, the “B” parameters control the lters. Between 0 and 100%, the lters are at
interpolated positions. When morphing from A to B settings, the A lter #1 will change to
the B lter #1, A lter #2 moves to B lter #2, and so on. Range is 0 to 100%.
Compressors, Expanders, and Gates
A wide range of Compression and Expansion eects is available in the Forte SE. e various
eects include dierent combinations of:
