F EQ type select button
Switches the EQ type to PRECISE, AGGRESSIVE, SMOOTH, or LEGACY.
The following EQ types can be selected.
PRECISE
This EQ type features “precision” and “controllability.” It can be used to
precisely adjust the desired points, to flexibly respond to a variety of music
production needs. The Low/High shelving filters have “Q” parameters that
allow knee adjustments.
AGGRESSIVE
This EQ type features “effective musical” characteristics. It allows you to create
an aggressive tone, making it a very powerful tool for artistic expression.
SMOOTH
This EQ type focuses on a “smooth sound quality.” It allows you to create
natural sounds without significant modifications to the atmosphere of the
original sound.
LEGACY
This is the standard EQ type found in classic Yamaha digital mixers, such as
the PM1D and the PM5D. On the left side of the EQ graph, you can switch
between TYPE I (an algorithm used in previous Yamaha digital mixers) and
TYPE II (an algorithm that reduces interference between bands).
