45 Graphic EQ operations 1 2 3 1 EQ graph This indicates the approximate response of the current Flex15GEQ settings. B Faders These faders indicate the amount of boost/cut for each band of the Flex15GEQ. The frequency and value for the fader currently selected by the cursor are shown below the fader. C FADER ASSIGN field Use this field when you want to operate the boost/cut amount for each band using the faders. At the right side of "AVAILABLE BANDS," there is always an indication of the remaining number of bands (maximum 15) that can be controlled for the current Flex15GEQ. D GEQ ON/OFF button Switches the currently selected GEQ on/off. E FLAT button This returns all bands of the currently selected GEQ to 0 dB. 3 Use the [RACK 1-4] key (for RACK 1-4 screens) or the [RACK 5-8] key (for RACK 5-8 screens) to select either GEQ unit A or B, make the correct input-source and output-destination settings, and then turn on the Flex15GEQ. 4 To adjust the boost/cut of each band, move the cursor to the desired fader and operate the dial or the [DEC]/[INC] keys. For each of a Flex15GEQ's two GEQ units (A and B), a maximum of fifteen bands can be controlled. The remaining number of bands that can be controlled is shown at the right of "AVAILABLE BANDS" in the FADER ASSIGN field. If you have used all fifteen bands, you will have to return one of the used bands (i.e., a band for which a fader was raised or lowered) to the flat position before you can operate any other band. Remaining number of bands 5 If you want to use the top panel faders to adjust the boost/cut of each band, proceed as follows. 1 Move the cursor to the button in the FADER ASSIGN field and press the [ENTER] key. For details on how operation and the buttons differ between models, refer to step 5 of "Using the 31 Band GEQ" (→ p. 163). When this button is turned on, the faders in the screen will turn white, and you will be able to use the top panel faders to adjust the GEQ bands. B Operate the faders. The corresponding frequency region will be boosted or cut. A maximum of 15 bands can be controlled. HINT • The [ON] key will light if you raise or lower a fader even the slightest amount. This indicates that the corresponding band is being modified. • To quickly return a boosted or cut band to the flat position, press the corresponding [ON] key to make it go dark. C When you've finished making settings, turn off the button(s) of the FADER ASSIGN field. The top panel faders and [ON] keys will return to their previous function. HINT • If a button in the FADER ASSIGN field is on, switching the display to another screen or rack will forcibly defeat the top panel fader assignments. 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. 17 Graphic EQ and effects 6 If you want to copy the currently-displayed Flex15GEQ 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 screen. For details on how to use these buttons, refer to "Using the tool buttons" (→ p. 35). HINT • GEQ settings can be saved/loaded at any time using the dedicated library (→ p. 174).
