1.0 GETTING STARTED
Please note that there are three separate GAIN controls associated with the
Graphic, Parametric and Dynamics sections. Their operation should be
thought of as similar to GAIN controls on three separate processing units, with
the purpose of maintaining a unity signal level through the unit.
DOUBLE PRESS BUTTONS:
The buttons on the DPF3103 are designed to speed up access to the digEQ
functions. Most of the buttons need only to be pressed once, but some have a double
press function. These are:
Parametric & Filters -
• Press once for access to Parametric EQ and High & Low Pass filters
• Press twice for access to Shelving EQ
Dynamics -
• Press once for access to the Compressor
• Press twice for access to the Noise Gate
SIMULTANEOUS PRESS BUTTONS:
The following functions are performed by pressing two buttons together:
Lock & Unlock Keyboard -
• Press and hold ENTER & then press ESCAPE
Select Frequency Range -
• Press the lower and upper frequency buttons together
Select Dual Channel Editing -
• Press and hold Channel A and then press Channel B buttons and release
together and vice-versa.
SCRATCH PAD MEMORY:
All editing is done in the Scratch Pad memory which can then be saved to a Program
memory. Editing is real time and will affect the audio as changes are made. The
Scratch Pad memory is battery-backed so that when you switch off the unit and then
on again you return to the last edit you made i.e. there is no need to save each time
you make an adjustment.
Also when you RECALL a program this data is copied to the Scratch Pad. Changes
are made to the Scratch Pad version only (unless you STORE to that location) and
the original Program is left intact.
EMERGENCY:
In the very unlikely event of a system crash, reset by holding the ACCESS button at
the same time as switching the unit on. Continue to hold the ACCESS button until '00'
appears on the Program display.
