using the data encoders or touch-screen. Users are able to select a boost or cut of up to 18 dB on frequencies between 20 Hz and 20kHz.
A31-bandequalizerisalsoavailableontheMainoutput,andcanbeselectedbyenteringthePatchmenuandchangingtheOrdersettings
toincludetheGEQinsteadoftheEQ.TheQofthesesignalscanalsobeadjustedtogiveawiderornarrowerband,asnecessary.
