Channel 5: Hi-hat
By using a HPF (high pass filter) to cut the sound
below the LOW 125 Hz point, we will simultaneously
remove sounds other than the hi-hat. By adding a
2.5 dB boost to the L-MID 595 Hz region, we will
emphasize the crispness of the hi-hat, clarifying the
sense of beat.
1
Press the channel 5 [SEL] key to select the
hi-hat channel.
2
Press the MIXER section [EQ] key.
3
Make sure that EQ is on for the selected
channel.
4
Use the CURSOR keys and the [DATA/JOG]
dial to set the EQ as follows.

“ON” for the selected channel.

tings.

Channel 6: Acoustic bass
We will lower the LOW 35 Hz region by –7.5 dB to
add warmth to the sound. By lowering the L-MID
111 Hz region by 2.5 dB we will clarify the sense of
pitch, and by adding a 5.5 dB boost at the H-MID
2.82 kHz region we will emphasize the fingerboard
noise to enhance the characteristic flavor of an acous-
tic bass.
1
Press the channel 6 [SEL] key to select the
bass channel.
2
Press the MIXER section [EQ] key.
3
Make sure that the EQ of the selected
channel is turned on.
