6.8. FRONT PANEL DEFAULT SETTINGS ADJUSTABLE ONLY BY SOFTWARE
Graphi-Q2 models GRQ3121 and GRQ3122 allow adjustment of most, but not all parameters from the
front panel. Aside from control of parametric filters and the crossover, which can only be adjusted using
the GRQ2 Remote software (see Section 8.4), the few parameters which cannot be front panel controlled
include:
1.
Compressor attack, release, knee, and (for GRQ3122) True Stereo/Dual Mono option
2.
Limiter threshold
3.
All global parameters (graphic EQ filter width, maximum FBX depth, and FBX sensitivity and
persistence)
These controls can be adjusted using the GRQ2 Remote software as well. In addition, factory default
settings made for front panel operation can be changed while the units are connected to the software.
These changes will remain in place for all front panel operation, regardless of whether a computer is
connected or not, until the defaults are changed again from the software.
To change compressor/limiter defaults, you must be using the GRQ2 software and be in Front Panel Mode
(Preset #1). Select “Front Panel Defaults” (F8 key) from the MAIN MENU, and change the parameters
to the values you desire.
To change Global Parameter settings, choose “Global Parameters” (F5 key) from the MAIN MENU, or
“Global” from within the FBX/Parametric screen. You may change any value within the indicated ranges,
and your new settings will be used as new defaults for current and subsequent front panel operation.
6.9. FRONT PANEL CONTROL OPTIONS
In default mode Graphi-Q2 models GRQ3121 and GRQ3122 are set for front panel control. There are
three possible control scenarios for these units:
1. Front panel control. All controls are available on the front panel. The Remote Software cannot control
the unit, but if your are connected you can observe the changes made by the front panel within the
software.
2. GRQ2 Remote Software control. When any preset except Preset 1 is loaded via the software, then
the software takes control and the front panel controls are locked out.
3. Mixed Control. Using the Front Panel control window in the software, you can selectively lock or
unlock the front panel controls. This is useful in a variety of applications. You can, for example, easily
provide access to the front panel FBX settings but not the graphic EQ. Or you could maintain control
over several functions in a Graphi-Q2 network using the software, and allow a guest engineer access to
other functions simultaneously during the show.
Choosing Mixed Control settings can only be done through GRQ2 Remote software. See section 8.2.10
for instructions on using this part of the software.
