• Pink Noise – Equal energy-per-octave noise

• White Noise – Equal level-per-octave noise

• Brown Noise – Low-pass-filtered noise

• Brown Nose – Try it (can’t be serious all the time- we’d crack)

• The last selection determines which channels will reproduce the selected test sig-

nals. It can be adjusted by cycling through all channels, all channels of just the 

main program (default), and individual channels.

Save and Recall Preset

 – All configuration begins with a factory preset but these can 

be modified, stored, and recalled. 

Saving a preset is a simple procedure. Adjusting any parameter in the 

Modify Pro-

cessing

 menu appends an 

to the name of

 

the original preset to indicate that it has 

been modified but not yet saved yet. Figure 4-4 shows the 

Save Preset

 menu.

The 

Save Preset

 screen allows you to keep the existing name or rename and save us-

over the previously saved preset name, you will be prompted to confirm that you 

wish to overwrite a stored preset.
