Dragging in the Frequency Graph Display
You can adjust the following by dragging the
control points directly in the Frequency Graph
display:
Frequency
Dragging a control point to the right
increases the Frequency setting. Dragging a con-
trol point to the left decreases the Frequency set-
ting.
Gain
Dragging a control point up increases the
Gain setting. Dragging a control point down de-
creases the Gain setting.
Q
Start-dragging (Windows) or Control-drag-
ging (Mac) a control point up increases the Q
setting. Start-dragging (Windows) or Control-
dragging (Mac) a control point down decreases
the Q setting.
Adjusting Controls with Fine Resolution
Controls and control points can be adjusted
with fine resolution by holding the Control key
(Windows) or the Command key (Mac) while
adjusting the control.
Resetting Controls to Default Values
You can reset any on-screen control to its de-
fault value by Alt-clicking (Windows) or Option-
clicking (Mac OS) directly on the control or on
its corresponding text box.
Using Band-Pass Mode
You can temporarily set any EQ III control to
Band-Pass monitoring mode. Band-Pass mode
cuts monitoring frequencies above and below
the Frequency setting, leaving a narrow band of
mid-range frequencies. It is especially useful for
adjusting limited bandwidth in order to solo
and fine-tune each individual filter before re-
verting the control to notch filter or peaking fil-
ter type operations.
To switch an EQ III control to Band-Pass mode:
• Hold Start+Shift (Windows) or Shift
(Mac), and drag any rotary control or control
point horizontally or vertically.
When monitoring in Band-Pass mode, the Fre-
quency and Q controls function differently.
Frequency
Sets the frequency above and below
which other frequencies are cut off, leaving a
narrow band of mid-range frequencies.
Q Sets the width of the narrow band of mid-
range frequencies centered around the Fre-
quency setting.
To switch an EQ III control out of Band-Pass mode:
• Release Start+Shift (Windows) or Con-
trol+Shift (Mac).
Dragging a control point in the Frequency Graph display
Band-Pass mode does not affect EQ III Gain
controls.
