8.2.3. Response Curve Display
The blue delineated field below the graphic EQ controls is the Response Curve Display. In default mode,
this will show the totality of all EQ changes (graphic EQ, parametric EQ, high cut, low cut, FBX) made
manually or automatically to your audio signal, and currently in active mode, displayed separately for each
output (yellow = channel A, green = channel B). If any EQ function is in bypass, the Response Curve Display
will NOT show the effect of that EQ (in other words, what you hear and what you see will correspond).
8.2.3.1. View Curve You can customize the Response Curve Display to show any or all of the various types
of EQ programmable with the GRAPHI-Q (the default mode is to show all EQ). Select View Curve from
the Options Menu, or press F9 to access the screen at right:
You can elect to show the effect any combination of GRAPHI-
Q EQ settings on your overall unit response curve, indepen-
dently for any channel. Most commonly this selectability
would be used in order to view the response curve associated
with only one type of EQ (e.g., FBX) in the signal path. Our
recommendation is to display all EQ response, as this is the
true “audio picture” of the GRAPHI-Q EQ settings, and will
show combined EQ results whenever a change is made.
Otherwise, your response curve display may not reflect the
actual EQ and filtering applied to your audio signal.
8.2.4. Output Level
To the right of the 31 graphic EQ sliders is the Output Level Control. This may
be adjusted in three ways: (1) Click and drag with the left mouse key; (2) Click
with the right mouse key and type a value, or (3) Adjust the gain knob in the
Compressor/Limiter section of the Remote Software main screen. Compres-
sor Gain and Output Level Controls are redundant and will change together.
8.2.5. FBX Feedback Exterminator & Parametric Filters
The GRAPHI-Q Remote Control offers powerful options for setting and
controlling FBX filters that are not available using front panel controls. In
addition, the software allows programming of parametric EQ filters, which is
not possible from the front panel.
To access FBX/Parametric controls, click on the box to the right of the Curve
Display labeled FBX/Parametrics, or press the F2 key, or choose “FBX &
Parametric Filter” from the Main Menu. The screen shown on the following
page will appear
After highlighting the TYPE field for any or all of the 12 filters for each channel,
you can change the type of filter from FBX F (for fixed) to FBX D (for dynamic)
to PARA (for parametric) using the left mouse button and the horizontal scroll
bar located below the filter table. Alternatively, you may type F, D, or P (Note:
the factory default is nine FBX F and three FBX D Filters). When PARA is
chosen for a particular filter, you may then click on the FREQ, WIDTH, and
DEPTH fields, and either type, or use the scroll bar, to select your desired
value. For two-channel GRAPHI-Qs, you may choose channels using the
Channel A/Channel B selectors at the right of the FBX/Parametrics screen,
where you will also find the controls for locking fixed filters (which will change
their display readout from FBX-F to FBX-L), and adjusting global settings for
GRAPHI-Q operation (details on these operations follow).
Active front panel GRAPHI-Qs under remote control will light their filter LEDs
whenever an FBX filter sets, or when you change a filter type to a parametric
filter and choose a frequency, regardless of width or depth settings.
