Indicates the approximate response of the current 31BandGEQ.
2 Faders
Indicate the amount of boost and cut for each band of the 31BandGEQ. The actual
values are shown in the numerical boxes below.
The area of a fader you touched will turn pink as shown below.
3 FADER ASSIGN field
Use the faders in the Channel Strip section to select the group of bands that will be
controlled. The buttons in the FADER ASSIGN field correspond to the following groups
of bands (QL1 only).
When you press one of these buttons, the faders for the bands selected on screen will turn
white, and the numbers of the corresponding faders in the Channel Strip section will be
displayed. Now you can use the faders in the Channel Strip section to control the band.
4 Tool buttons
Copy the currently-displayed 31BandGEQ settings to the GEQ of another rack, or
initialize the settings. For details on how to use the tool buttons, refer to “Using the tool
buttons” in the separate Owner’s Manual.
NOTE
• Only 31BandGEQ settings that use fifteen bands or less can be copied to a Flex15GEQ.
• GEQ settings can be stored and recalled at any time using the dedicated library.
Using the Flex15GEQ
You will use the Channel Strip section’s faders and [ON] keys to control the Flex15GEQ.
A rack in which a Flex15GEQ is mounted will show information for two GEQ units (A and B)
in the VIRTUAL RACK window.
NOTE
If you mount a Flex15GEQ, two monaural 31BandGEQ units will be placed in a single rack.
However, only up to fifteen bands can be adjusted for each unit.
NOTE
• When a fader in the Channel Strip section is set to the center (flat) position, the corresponding
[ON] key indicator will turn off. This indicates that the corresponding band is not being modified.
If you raise or lower the fader even the slightest amount, the [ON] key will light, indicating that this
band has been modified.
If you press a lit [ON] key to make it go dark, the corresponding band will immediately return to
the flat state. If you press the [ON] key once again, the value that was modified is shown.
However, please note that if the [ON] key for this band is off and if you press the [ON] key for the
fader of a different frequency band, the adjusted gain value will be canceled and will return to
±0dB.
• If you switch the display to a different screen, the fader assignments in the Channel Strip section
will forcibly be defeated. However if you once again display the same rack, the group of bands
you had previously been controlling will automatically be assigned to the faders.
• When you close the GEQ window, the buttons in the FADER ASSIGN field automatically turn off.
