D RTA button
Turn this button on to overlay a frequency response graph on the EQ.
E HOLD button
Press this button to hold the peak of the graph that displays RTA.
F EQ type select button

The following EQ types can be selected.
G Offset gain
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.
NOTE
The value for this parameter is applied identically to the RTA METER window, HPF/EQ window,
GEQ window, and PEQ window.

3 EQ parameter setting knobs
Indicates the Q, FREQUENCY, and GAIN parameters for the BAND1 - BAND8 bands. You

PRECISE
This EQ type features “precisionand “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).
