EQ settings The EQ key assigns the 16 encoders
to control the 4-band EQ for the module selected
with the
SEL keys. Each of the four bands may have
its gain, frequency, Q and type controlled by the
encoders as shown by the labels under the encoders.
The first encoder in each band is used to control the
gain, the indicators are used as below. “Half-steps”
are indicated by dimmed indicators. Note also the
slight boost and cut settings, which give an indica-
tion, even when the venter is hidden by the control
knob.
The second encoders of each band in EQ mode show
the frequency of the band in the following way:
The third encoders of each EQ band are used to con-
trol the Q (bandwidth), as shown here:

No cut or boost Slight boost (note

now off)
A little more boost

now lit and
one half-lit)
