Playback functions for SMF songs

SMF Equalizer

(1) Select the SMF song you want to
modify (see p. 23 and following).
(2) Press [MENU] ‰ [ADVANCED] ‰ [SMF¥EQUALIZER].
The equalizer has the same function as the BASS, MID
and TREBLE knobs on a mixer: it allows you to color
the sound, or to apply tonal corrections.
(3) Press the [ON] (or [OFF]) display button to switch
the equalizer on (icon lights) or off (icon goes
dark).
(4) Press the display field below "SMF EQUALIZER"
that shows the name of the currently selected pre-
set.
(5) Select the desired equalizer preset with the dial.
The available presets are:
1. Flat 4. Jazz
2. Rock 5. Classic
3. Pop
(6) If none of the preset memories contains the set-
tings you need, press the display field of the
parameter you wish to change.
See the descriptions below.
(7) Set the desired value with the dial.

Note: The settings you make on this page can be saved to a
User memory and recalled as and when necessary.
EQ LEVEL (0~127): Use this parameter to set the
equalizer's input level. This may be necessary when
the level of the input signals is so high that the sound
distorts.
Note: Do not set this parameter to "0" if the equalizer is
switched on, because doing so means that the SMF song is
no longer audible.
EQ GAIN (–9~0~9dB): Use this parameter to correct
the level at the equalizer's outputs. If the settings of
the remaining parameters lead to a significantly
lower level, select a positive value. If your settings
lead to a significantly higher level, select a negative
value. "0" means that the level is neither boosted nor
attenuated.
HI FREQ HZ (2000~12000Hz): This parameter allows
you to set the cutoff frequency of the high band (this
is a shelving filter).
HI GAIN DB (–15~15dB): Use this parameter to set
the level of the selected HI frequency. Positive values
boost (increase the volume of) that frequency band,
negative values cut (attenuate) it.
MID FREQ HZ (200~8000Hz): This parameter allows
you to set the cutoff frequency of the middle band
(this is a peaking filter).
MID Q (0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8): Use this parameter to specify
the width of the MID FREQ band that you want to
boost or cut. Smaller values mean that neighboring
frequencies above/below that value are also affected.
MID GAIN DB (–15~15dB): Use this parameter to
set the level of the selected MID frequency.
LO FREQ HZ (50, 80, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300,
400Hz): This parameter allows you to set the cutoff
frequency of the low band (this is a shelving filter).
LO GAIN DB (–15~15dB): Use this parameter to set
the level of the selected LO frequency.
(8) To save the settings you have just made, press the
[WRITE¥USER] display button.
Note: There is only one USER memory (memory no. 7) for
your own settings. By saving new settings, you therefore
overwrite the previous ones.
(9) Press the [EXIT] button repeatedly until it stops
flashing to return to the main page.
