4 EQ type select button
Switches the EQ type to PRECISE, AGGRESSIVE, SMOOTH, or LEGACY.
The following EQ types can be selected.
When the EQ type is set to PRECISE, you can press in and turn the Q knob for the HIGH
band to switch between PEQ, shelving type, and low-pass filter.
In addition, you can press in and turn the Q knob for the LOW band to switch between
PEQ and high-pass filter.
NOTE
• This operation is possible only with the EQ Q knobs in the SELECTED CHANNEL section on the
console’s top panel.
• This operation is not possible with the multifunction knobs in the Centralogic section. It is also not
possible with USER DEFINED knobs that have been assigned to the TOUCH AND TURN
function.
HIGH band
• When set to PEQ (Q=0.10), press in and turn the Q knob to the right to switch to
shelving type.
• When set to PEQ (Q=16.0), press in and turn the Q knob to the left to switch to low-
pass filter.
• When set to shelving type (Q=10.0), press in and turn the Q knob to the left to switch
to PEQ.
• When set to low-pass filter, press in and turn the Q knob to the right to switch to PEQ.
LOW band
• When set to PEQ (Q=0.10), press in and turn the Q knob to the right to switch to
shelving type.
• When set to shelving type (Q=10.0), press in and turn the Q knob to the left to switch
to PEQ.
5 ATT knob
Indicates the attenuation value before the signal enters the EQ. You can use a
multifunction knob to adjust this.
6 Tabs
Use these tabs to select a channel that you want to view on the screen.
7 EQ graph
Displays the parameter values for the EQ and filter.
8 RTA button
If you turn this button ON, a graph indicating the frequency analysis for the input signal
after EQ processing is overlaid on the bottom of the EQ frequency graph.
9 HOLD button
Press this button to hold the graph that displays RTA.
0 OFFSET gain knob
If a frequency is at a low level, its analysis results might not appear clearly in a graph.
The addition of offset gain allows better visibility in graphs for such results. You can
adjust this gain from 0dB to +30dB.
A LIBRARY button
Press this button to open the EQ Library window.
B DEFAULT button
Press this button to reset all EQ/filter parameters to the initial values.
C COPY button
All EQ parameter settings will be copied in buffer memory.
D PASTE button
Press this button to paste the setting in buffer memory to the current EQ. If no valid data
has been copied in the buffer memory, nothing will happen.
E COMPARE button
Press this button to swap between the current EQ settings and the data stored in buffer
memory. If no valid data has been copied in the buffer memory, nothing will happen.
NOTE
For details on how to use the A - E buttons, refer to “Using the tool buttons” in the separate
Owner’s Manual.
F EQ FLAT button
Press this button to reset the GAIN parameters of all EQ band to 0 dB.
G HIGH SHELVING ON/OFF button
Turn on this button to select the shelving-type filter for the HIGH band.
H LPF ON/OFF button
Turn on this button to select the low pass filter for the HIGH band.
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).
