Reference
Reso (Resonance)
Determines the emphasis given to the Cutoff Frequency.
Higher values result in a more pronounced effect.
Settings: -64 – +0 – +63
4 EQ
This is a parametric EQ featuring three bands (High, Mid
and Low). You can attenuate or boost the level of each
frequency band (High, Mid, Low) to change the Voice
sound. For the Mid band, you can also set the Q (Band
Width).
Frequency
Determines the frequency for each frequency band. Set the
value to the frequency around which you wish to attenuate or
boost.
Settings:
Low: 50.1Hz – 2.00kHz
Mid: 139.7Hz – 10.1kHz
High: 503.8Hz – 14.0kHz
Gain
Determines the level gain for the Frequency (set above), or the
amount the selected frequency band is attenuated or boosted.
The higher the value, the greater the Gain. The lower the
value, the lesser the Gain.
Settings: -12.00 dB – +0.00 dB – +12.00 dB
Q (Bandwidth)
Determines the Q (bandwidth) for the Mid band. The higher
the value, the smaller the bandwidth. The lower the value, the
wider the bandwidth.
Settings: 0.7 – 10.3
n The Q setting is available only for the Mid band, which is a
Peaking type EQ. Peaking (referring to the “peak” shape)
lets you attenuate/boost a specific frequency and allows
you to control how wide or narrow the bandwidth is. On
the other hand, the EQ shape of the High and Low band is
the Shelving type which lets you attenuate/boost the
signal at frequencies above or below the specified
Frequency setting.
5 EQ graph
Indicates the EQ settings as a graph. The vertical axis
indicates the gain, and the horizontal axis indicates the
frequency.
Arpeggio settings—[F4] Arpeggio
This display determines the basic settings of the Arpeggio.
Keep in mind that the parameters of Bank (6) – Type (9)
have five settings which can be edited in each of the [SF1]
ARP1 through [SF5] ARP5 displays. The value set here is
applied to the parameters having the same names in the
Arpeggio Main display (page 101) of the Voice Common
Edit mode.
