Param Eq - Arturia ACID V User Manual

6.5.10. Param EQ

A Parametric Equalizer lets you sculpt tone very precisely, as opposed to the very broad
tonal strokes you get from a synth filter or tone controls. It can be used to gently or
surgically boost or cut certain frequencies to alter the overall sound or remove problem
frequencies.
The EQ in Acid V has five bands, and you can adjust the frequency, gain (boost or cut), and
Q (how wide the band is around the selected frequency) for each one. In fact, that ability to
tweak the frequency and bandwidth is just what "parametric" means!
