Using The 31Bandgeq - Yamaha QL5 Reference Manual

Using the 31BandGEQ

You will use the Channel Strip section's faders 1–8 and [ON] keys to control the 31BandGEQ.
STEP
1. In the GEQ field or the EFFECT field rack, press the rack container in which you
mounted the 31BandGEQ.
2. Press the GEQ ON/OFF button to turn the 31BandGEQ on.
3. Press one of the buttons in the FADER ASSIGN field to select the group of bands you
will control.
4. Use the faders in the Channel Strip section to adjust the selected band.
5. When you've finished making settings, turn off the buttons in the FADER ASSIGN
field.
NOTE
• When a fader in the Channel Strip section is set to the center (flat) position, the corresponding
[ON] key indicator will turn off. This indicates that the corresponding band is not being modified.
If you raise or lower the fader even the slightest amount, the [ON] key will light, indicating that this
band has been modified. If you press a lit [ON] key to make it go dark, the corresponding band
will immediately return to the flat state.
If you press the [ON] key once again, the value that was modified is shown. However, please note
that if the [ON] key for this band is off and if you press the [ON] key for the fader of a different
frequency band, the adjusted gain value will be canceled and will return to ±0dB.
• If you switch the display to a different screen or rack, the fader assignments in the Channel Strip
section will forcibly be defeated. However if you once again display the same rack, the group of
bands you had previously been controlling will automatically be assigned to the faders.
• When you close the GEQ window, the buttons in the FADER ASSIGN field automatically turn off.
