Using the 31BandGEQ
You will use the Centralogic section’s faders 1–8 and [ON] keys to control the 31BandGEQ.
1. Refer to steps 1–6 in the “Virtual rack operations” section on page 115 to mount a
31BandGEQ in a rack and set its input source and output destination.
The rack in which the 31BandGEQ is mounted will show the approximate settings and input and
output levels.
2. In the GEQ field or the EFFECT field, press the rack in which you mounted the
31BandGEQ.
The GEQ popup window will appear. In the GEQ popup window you can use the tabs to switch
among the racks.
1 EQ graph
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.
3 FADER ASSIGN field
In this field you can select the group of bands that will be controlled by the Centralogic section’s
faders.
3. Press the GEQ ON/OFF button to turn the 31BandGEQ on.
4. Press one of the buttons in the FADER ASSIGN field to select the group of bands
you will control using the Centralogic section’s faders.
The buttons in the FADER ASSIGN field correspond to the following groups of bands.
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 Centralogic section will be displayed. Now
you can use the faders in the Centralogic section to control the band.
NOTE
The above operation is possible even if the Centralogic section is locked. When you turn off the
button in the FADER ASSIGN field, it will return to the locked state.
5. Operate the faders in the Centralogic section.
The corresponding frequency region will be boosted or cut.
NOTE
When a fader in the Centralogic 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.
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 to adjust each band.
NOTE
If you switch the display to a different screen or rack, the fader assignments in the Centralogic
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.
7. When you have finished making settings, turn off the buttons in the FADER ASSIGN
field.
The faders and [ON] keys in the Centralogic section will return to their previous function.
NOTE
When you close the GEQ popup window, the buttons in the FADER ASSIGN field automatically
turn off.
8. If you want to copy the currently-displayed 31BandGEQ settings to the GEQ of
another rack, or to initialize the settings, you can do so using the tool buttons at
the top of the popup window.
For details on how to use these 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 saved and recalled at any time using the dedicated library.
