HINT
• The above operation is possible even if the Centralogic sec-
tion is locked. When you turn off the button in the FADER
ASSIGN field, it will return to the locked state.
Operate the faders of the Centralogic sec-
tion.
The corresponding frequency region will be boosted
or cut.
HINT
• When a fader of the Centralogic section is in the center (flat)
position, the corresponding [ON] key will go dark. This indi-
cates that the corresponding band is not being modified. If
you raise or lower the fader even lightly, the [ON] key will light,
indicating that this band is being modified. If you press a lit
[ON] key to make it go dark, the corresponding band will
immediately return to the flat state.
