Plug-ins  Controlling the parameters of a plug-in
■ Dynamic EQ4
Dynamic EQ4 is a two-band dynamic equalizer that has been expanded to have four bands. The
extra bands provide broader sound-shaping capability, and a KEY IN source selection function
enables a variety of new applications. For example, if Dynamic EQ4 is applied to acoustic guitar and
the vocal microphone is selected as the KEY IN source, the guitar midrange can automatically be
dipped a little whenever the vocals come in, to give the vocals more space and make them stand out.
Also, de-essing effects have been improved through modifications to the algorithm for making a
high-shelf cut.

1 BAND ON/OFF button
Switches the corresponding band on or off.
2 LOW SHELVING ON/OFF button
Turn on this button to switch the LOW band to a shelving type filter, and switch the sidechain
filter from BPF to LPF.
3
FREQUENCY knob
Specifies the frequency that is controlled by the equalizer and the sidechain filter.
#
$
4 Q knob
Specifies the Q (steepness) of the equalizer and the sidechain filter.
Turning the knob toward the right will broaden the region affected by the equalizer and
sidechain filter.
5
EQ GAIN meter
Indicates the gain of the dynamically changing EQ.
6
THRESHOLD meter
Indicates the level of the sidechain signal, referenced to the threshold level.
7
KEY IN source buttons
Select main (INT) or external (EXT) as the source for the KEY IN signal used for the
corresponding band.
8 KEY IN CUE button
If this button is on, the sidechain signal is sent to the CUE bus for monitoring. In this case, the
graph shows the response of the sidechain filter.
9 RATIO knob
Specifies the ratio of boost/cut for the input signal.
Turning this toward the right applies boost, and turning it toward the left applies cut; turning
the knob all the way in either direction produces the maximum effect.
) THRESHOLD knob
Specifies the threshold value at which the processing effect begins to apply.
! MODE buttons
Specify whether processing operates when the sidechain signal exceeds the threshold value
(ABOVE) or when it falls below the value (BELOW).
@
ATTACK/RELEASE buttons
Enable you to select one of three settings for the attack time and release time at which
compression or boost is applied.
FAST produces a fast attack and fast release, SLOW produces a fast attack and slow release, and
AUTO automatically adjusts the attack and release according to the frequency region.
# Graph display
Indicates the response of the equalizer.
Normally this area shows the reference EQ graph, which indicates the frequency and depth;
and the dynamic EQ graph, which indicates the response of the dynamically changing EQ.
If KEY IN CUE is on, this graph shows the response of the sidechain filter.
$ HIGH SHELVING ON/OFF button
Turn on this button to switch the HIGH band to a shelving type filter, and switch the sidechain
filter from BPF to LPF.
