From here, rotate the knob again to tweak
the selected parameter's value to your liking.
Once a desired setting has been reached, push
the knob in again to confirm.
Frequency
– This parameter's value determines
the frequency of the selected effect, ranging from
400 Hz to 16.0 kHz.
Width [aka “Q”] – The Q control adjusts the
bandwidth of a filter. However, the Q value itself
is dimensionless; it has no unit of measurement.
Some equalizers use the fractional bandwidth
of the filter, measured in octaves, to express this
parameter. The two parameters are inversely related;
a high Q value corresponds to a small fractional
bandwidth. The following table lists some equivalent
Q and fractional bandwidth values. It ranges from
0.5 to 3.
Gain – This parameter's value determines the amount
of gain applied to the selected effect. It ranges from
–8 dB to +8 dB.
LPF – Low-pass filters are utilized to cut out high
frequencies. It ranges from 6.0 kHz to 18.0 kHz.
HPF
– High-pass filters are utilized to cut out low
frequencies. It ranges from 80 Hz to 600 Hz.
Q Bandwidth (Octave)
0.7 2
1.414 1
2.145 2/3
2.871 1/2
Before moving on to ‘Presets’ and ‘Reset’, let's
