User Manual


If a band is deactivated, you can still modify its parameters.
FREQ
Sets the frequency of the corresponding band. You can set the frequency either in Hz or as a
note value. If you enter a note value, the frequency is automatically changed to Hz. For example,
a note value of A3 sets the frequency to 440 Hz. When you enter a note value, you can also
enter a cent offset. For example, enter “A5 -23” or “C4 +49.” When you enter a note value, you
can also enter a cent offset. For example, enter “A5 -23” or “C4 +49.”

・ You can adjust the [Freq] parameter of a band in the graphical editor by clicking
the corresponding handle while holding [Alt/option] and moving the mouse left and
right.
・ Make sure that you enter a space between the note and the cent offset. Only in
this case, the cent offsets are taken into account.
INV
Inverts the gain value of the filter. Use this button to filter out unwanted noise. When looking
for the frequency to omit, it sometimes helps to boost it in the first place (set the filter to
positive gain). After you have found the frequency of the noise, you can use the [Inv] button to
cancel it out.
Q
For [Peak] filters, this parameter controls the width of the band. For [Shelf] filters, it adds a
drop or a boost, depending on the gain setting of the band. For [Cut] filters, it adds a resonance.

You can adjust the [Q] parameter of a band in the graphical editor by clicking the
corresponding handle while holding [Shift] and moving the mouse up and down.
Alternatively, you can point on the handle and turn the mouse wheel.
GAIN
Sets the amount of attenuation/boost for the corresponding band.

・ You can adjust the [Gain] parameter of a band in the graphical editor by clicking
the corresponding handle while holding [Ctrl]/[command] and moving the mouse up
and down.
・ This parameter is not available for [Cut] filters.
Filter type
For the low and high band, you can choose between three types of shelving filters, a peak filter
(band-pass), and a cut filter (low-pass/high-pass). If [Cut] mode is selected, the [Gain]
parameter is fixed.
• [Shelf I] adds resonance in the opposite gain direction slightly above the set frequency.
• [Shelf II] adds resonance in the gain direction at the set frequency.
• [Shelf III] is a combination of [Shelf I] and [Shelf II].
