to process the signal before it is recorded on the track.

is turned OFF, press the [ENTER] key to switch it
ON.

tion) to switch the ON/OFF button.

While playing sounds on your instrument,
adjust the EQ parameters.
To adjust the EQ parameters, move the cursor in
the lower part of the display, and use the [DATA/
JOG] dial to edit the values. For each of the
LOW, L-MID, H-MID, and HIGH bands, you can
edit the following parameters.
• Q knob
This knob specifies the steepness at which the
region of the center frequency specified by the F
knob will be boosted/cut. The range is 10–0.10,
and the curve will become steeper as this value
decreases. For the LOW/HIGH bands, this knob
is also used to switch the equalizer type.
• F (Frequency) knob
This knob specifies the center frequency at which
the boost/cut will occur. The range is 21 Hz–
20.1 kHz for each band.
