Adjusting The Effect Levels; Equalizer - Korg Zero8 Owner's Manual

Monitoring via CUE
By turning on the CUE button of a mixer channel, you can send its pre-
fader sound to the CUE bus.
1. Turn on the CUE button of the mixer channel you want
to monitor.
2. Use the MONITOR BAL knob to adjust the volume bal-
ance of the master output sound and the CUE bus
sound.
Use the MONITOR LEVEL knob to adjust the overall volume.

Adjusting the effect levels

If you're using external effect processors, connect them to the EXT 1/2
SEND jacks and EXT 1/2 RETURN jacks.
1. Use each mixer channel's EXT 1 and EXT 2 SEND knobs
to adjust the send levels that are output to the SEND
jacks.
Use the EXT 1 and EXT 2 RETURN knobs to adjust the return levels
that are received from the RETURN 1 and RETURN 2 jacks.
2. Use each mixer channel's ZERO FX SEND knobs to ad-
just the send level to the (built-in) send effect.
Use the ZERO FX SEND RETURN knob to adjust the return level from
the send effect.
TIP: The CUE buttons for the EXT1, EXT 2, and ZERO FX re-
turns introduce their respective signals to the CUE bus before
the it passes through the return level knobs.
Set the return level to zero and turn the CUE button on (lit).
Now you'll be able to use headphones (set to CUE) to adjust
the return sound. When you've adjusted the sound to your
liking, raise the EXT1, EXT2 or ZERO FX return level knobs
to send the signal to the master outputs.

3. Equalizer

Using the equalizer to adjust the sound
Traditionally, an equalizer (EQ) divides the sound into different frequency
regions, allowing you to shape the tonal character of the sound by boost-
ing or cutting the output of each region. In more modern applications, the
EQ can be used as an effect, providing filter sweeps and isolator functions.
The ZERO8 provides 11 different types of EQ.
1. Use the EQ SELECTOR knob to select the equalizer
type.
EQ type: These are a variety of EQ types with frequency re-
sponses suitable for different styles. Choose the type that's ap-
propriate for your needs.
A ZERO EQ
B BOOST
C HYPED
D ROUND-Q
E SLAMMING
ISOLATOR type: This is a -12dB/oct isolator. It divides the in-
put sound into frequency regions, and allows you to individu-
ally cut the sound of each region. If you turn the knobs of all re-
gions completely toward the left, the sound will disappear com-
pletely.
F ZERO ISOLATOR
G ZERO ISOLATOR WIDE DIVIDER
H ZERO ISOLATOR LOW
FILTER type: These are filter types in which HI is an LPF and LO
is a HPF. Turning HI down (toward the left) will lower the cutoff
frequency of the LPF. Turning LO down (toward the left) will
raise the cutoff frequency. MID operates as a peaking EQ.
I ZERO FILTER
J ZERO FILTER DENSE
K ZERO FILTER SPIKY
2. Use the EQ knobs to control the type of EQ you se-
lected.
Adjust the three bands (HI/MID/LO) to obtain the desired tone.
The MID-FREQ knob sets the center frequency of the MID region.
