PARAMETER SETTINGS CONTINUED...
PEAKING: Applies a peaking filter which boosts or cuts the level of frequencies
within a narrow band and leaves all other frequencies outside this band unaffected
The level of the peak is set by the LEVEL parameter The center frequency of the
peak is determined by the FREQUENCY parameter The width of the peak (amount
of frequencies near the center frequency) is determined by the Q control Increase
the Q control for a NARROWER peak, decrease the Q control for a WIDER peak
LEVEL: Adjusts the output LEVEL (in dB) of the filter, typically the level of the pass
band of frequencies for the filter (see filter types above for more detail).
FREQUENCY: Adjusts the corner frequency of the filter This can be either the cutoff,
transition, or center frequency depending on the type of filter (see filter types above
for more detail).
Q: Adjusts the Q of the filter which controls the amount of peaking This parameter
has no effect on GAIN ONLY and first order filters (which do not have a Q control)
Increase the Q for sharper peaks / narrower bands Decrease the Q for smoother
transitions / wider bands.
