Tyros5 Reference Manual
Equalizer (also called “EQ”) is a sound processor that divides the frequency spectrum into multiple bands that can be
boosted or cut as required to tailor the overall frequency response. Usually an equalizer is used to correct the sound
from speakers to match the special character of the room. For example, you can cut some of the low range frequencies
when playing in large spaces where the sound is too “boomy,” or boost the high frequencies in rooms and close spaces
where the sound is relatively “dead” and free of echoes.
As shown below, this instrument possesses a high grade five-band Master EQ which is applied to the entire sound. You
can select one of five preset EQ types and create two User Master EQ types by editing the related parameters. In
addition to the Master EQ, Part EQ is available, letting you boost/cut the high band or low band for each Part.
