EQ
EQ (Equalisation)
Contained in the Effects section is an EQ filter which can boost or cut high (treble) or low (bass)
frequencies in a similar manner to the ‘tone’ controls often found on domestic hi-fi units.
As well as being able to boost low or high frequencies, the final output EQ filter may be used to
create automatic sweeps of EQ and filtering. EQ processing may be synchronised to tempo
and locked to musical timings from 32nd triplets through to several bars.
LEVEL Knob
The LEVEL control has a different purpose with the EQ effect in that instead of setting the
send level to the effect, it actually sets the amount of cut / boost around the centre frequency.
FREQUENCY Knob
The EQ frequency control determines where in the sound spectrum the boost or cut occurs.
The Frequency point may be moved anywhere from very low frequencies (0 = less than 10Hz)
to very high frequencies (127 = above 20,000Hz).

EQ Level : -64
Here, FREQ is set to 0 (i.e. around 10Hz) and LEVEL is set to -64 (cut). As a result, all the high
frequency component has been removed.
