to process the signal before it is recorded on the track.

[SEL] key 8 will light, and input channel 8 will be
selected for operations.

While playing sounds on your instrument,
adjust the EQ parameters.
To adjust the EQ parameters, move the cursor in
the lower part of the display, and use the [DATA/
JOG] dial to edit the values. For each of the
LOW, L-MID, H-MID, and HIGH bands, you can
edit the following parameters.
• Q knob
This knob specifies the steepness at which the
region of the center frequency specified by the F
knob will be boosted/cut. The range is 10–0.10,
and the curve will become steeper as this value
decreases. For the LOW/HIGH bands, this knob
is also used to switch the equalizer type.
• F (Frequency) knob
This knob specifies the center frequency at which
the boost/cut will occur. The range is 21 Hz–
20.1 kHz for each band.
