Using the 31BandGEQ You will use the Channel Strip section's faders 1-8 and [ON] keys to control the 31BandGEQ. STEP 1. In the GEQ field or the EFFECT field rack, press the rack container in which you mounted the 31BandGEQ. 2. Press the GEQ ON/OFF button to turn the 31BandGEQ on. 3. Press one of the buttons in the FADER ASSIGN field to select the group of bands you will control. 4. Use the faders in the Channel Strip section to adjust the selected band. 5. When you've finished making settings, turn off the buttons in the FADER ASSIGN field. NOTE • When a fader in the Channel Strip 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. If you press the [ON] key once again, the value that was modified is shown. • If you switch the display to a different screen or rack, the fader assignments in the Channel Strip 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. • When you close the GEQ window, the buttons in the FADER ASSIGN field automatically turn off.
