Voicing Curves

Here are examples of default Voicing equalization curves included with the 

MX180. Voicings are accessible through the Voicing trim settings. Default 

equalization curves can be edited. New curves can be designed using multiple 

filters. Custom Voicings can be selected the same manner as default Voicings 

using the TRIM SELECT knob (see “Trim Select Knob” on page 12).
