Basic Structure ■ Equalizer (EQ) Usually an equalizer is used to correct the sound output from amps or speakers to match the special character of the room, or to change the tonal character of the sound. The sound is divided into several frequency bands, and adjustments are made to the sound by raising or lowering the level of each band. By adjusting the sound according to the genre-classical music being more refined, pop music more crisp, and rock music more dynamic-you can draw out the special characteristics of the music and make your performance more enjoyable. Three separate EQ sections are available on the instrument: Element EQ, Part EQ, and Master EQ. ● Element EQ [VOICE] ➞ Voice selection ➞ [EDIT] ➞ Element selection/Key selection ➞ [F6] EQ The Element EQ is applied to each element of the Normal Voice and each key of the Drum Voice. You can specify which shape is used among the two shapes described below and set the related parameters. Peaking type This type of EQ shape lets you attenuate/boost the signal at the specified Frequency setting. Gain + 0 Frequency - Shelving type This type of EQ shape lets you attenuate/boost the signal at frequencies above or below the specified Frequency setting. Gain + Low Gain High Gain 0 Frequency - Low Freq High Freq n In addition to the individual gain controls, there is also an overall level parameter that attenuates/boosts the entire frequency range.
