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.
Use the buttons to switch between TYPE I (an algorithm used in previous
Yamaha digital mixers) and TYPE II (an algorithm that reduces interference
between bands).
