digital consoles.

What is Equalizer601?

Equalizer601 is an Add-On Effects package.

This effect emulates the characteristics of analog equalizers used in 1970s. It adds drive to the sound by

reproducing distortion typical to analog circuits.

What is VCM (Virtual Circuitry Modeling)?

VCM is a technology that enables you to model element levels in analog circuits (such as resistors and capacitors).

This technology was developed by an engineering group led by Mr. Kunimoto, an engineer who developed the

first physical modeling synthesizers, VL1 and VP1. Equalizer601 utilizes VCM technology.

The basic operation is as follows:

Select one of the internal effects processors.

Patch the signal to and from the currently selected effects processor.

Locate the Effects Library page.

Select and recall Equalizer601.

When you recall the program, all effects processor outputs will be muted temporarily.

Equalizer601 is a 6-band equalizer. It consists of two shelving-type filters (LO and HI) and four peaking-type

filters (MID1-4).

[Q]/[TYPE]

These parameters enable you to control the shape of the frequency response curve for each band filter.

You can also set the sharpness (Q) of the frequency response curve for the MID1-4 filters.

You can select the filter type for the LO band and HI band individually, choosing from four options.

The options are as follows:

LSH-1, LSH-2, HPF-1, and HPF-2 for LO; 0.50 through 16.00 for MID1-4; LPF-1, LPF-2, HSH-1, and HSH-2

for HI.

[F] Frequency

Specifies the filter center frequency.

The value range varies depending on the sampling frequency (fs) as follows:

16.0 Hz through 20.0 kHz (fs=44.1/48 kHz), or 16.0 Hz through 40.0 kHz (fs=88.2/96 kHz).

If the HI filter type is set to HSH-1 ( ) or HSH-2 ( ), the range for the HI band is 1.0 kHz through 40.0

kHz.

[G] (Gain)

Specifies the filter gain.

The range is from –18.0 dB through +18.0 dB.

[SW] button/[SW] control

Turns the corresponding filter on or off. The band filter that is turned off will be disabled.

Frequency Response Curve

Studio Manager displays the frequency response curves for all bands and for each band.

You can change the filter frequency or gain by dragging the line in the graph.

The console displays the frequency response curve for all bands.

[FLAT] button

Resets the gain of each band to 0 dB.

You can also reset the Q and frequency values to default by clicking and holding down the FLAT button.

nIf the filter type for the LO band is set to HPF-1 ( ) or HPF-2 ( ), and the filter type for the HI band is set

to LPF-1 ( ) or LPF-2 ( ), holding down the FLAT button will turn off the corresponding band’s SW

button.

Graph display/hide button

Clicking this button opens or closes the frequency response curve graph and the [–]/[+] button section.
