Adjusting EQ Plug-Ins
EQ plug-ins can map their gain, frequency, and Q/bandwidth
controls to corresponding encoders in the Channel Control
section of the ACS.
When a plug-in provides additional parameters beyond those
that map to the dedicated EQ encoders, you can use the Out-
put encoders in Insert Mode and the Previous/Next switches.

Target the channel with the plug-in by pressing the channel
Select switch.
2
Press the EQ function switch in the Channel Control section
of the ACS.
3
Press the Plug-In switch, next to the EQ function switch.
4
Adjust parameters by pressing or turning the corresponding
Channel Control encoders.
