Parametric Equalizer - Arturia KORG MS-20 V User Manual

7.4.16. Parametric Equalizer

A Parametric Equalizer lets you sculpt tone very precisely, as opposed to the very broad
tonal strokes you get from a graphic equalizer or the tone controls on a guitar or amp. It
can be used to gently or surgically boost or cut certain frequencies to alter a track's overall
sound or remove problem frequencies.
Each of the five bands has its own controls for the center frequency, amount of boost or cut,
and bandwidth (Q). These can be dialed in on the knobs for the selected band. Frequency
and gain for each band can also be set by clicking and dragging the mouse.
SCALE: Rather than wet/dry mix, this FX type has a Scale control.
•
Band Select: Selects the band being adjusted. The Parametric EQ has five bands:
•
LS (a low shelf , where every frequency below the set one is raised or lowered
by a certain amount), three peaking bands with full control over all parameters,
and HS (a high shelf that works in the same way as the low shelf).
FREQUENCY sets the center frequency of each band: 50.0-500 Hz for LS,
•
40.0-20000 Hz for the three peaking bands, and 1000-10000 Hz for HS.
GAIN sets the amount of boost or cut. (-15.0 to 15.0 dB)
•
Q sets the bandwidth of the peak or steepness of the shelf. (0.100 to 2.00 for LS
•
and HS, 0.100 to 15.0 for the three peaking bands)
