If you increase the gain in the 'Hi gain' field, you can boost frequencies higher than the selected frequency. If you lower the gain,

you can lower the level of frequencies higher than the selected frequency.

If you increase the gain in the 'Lo gain' field, you can boost frequencies lower than the selected frequency. If you lower the gain,

you can lower the level of frequencies lower than the selected frequency.

M1 + M2 Freq / Gain / Q

You can also set the parametric equalizer, which can control the sound around the selected frequency. The field has the settings

for frequency, gain and Q (from the left).

If you increase the gain, you can boost the sound around the selected frequency. If you lower the gain, you can lower the level of

the sound around the selected frequency.

Q setting determines how to change the sound around the selected frequency when you change the gain setting. If you set this

value larger, only the narrow range around the selected frequency will be changed. As you lower the value, the range will be

wider.

 Compressor

This effect compresses the signal level that exceeds the selected level to make the volume even as a whole. The fields are the same as those

of the COMPRESSOR, which can be selected in FX1 and 2. (See page 85 for more information.)

Selecting the Effect Set

The effect set is a set of FX1/FX2/MAIN effect types and their settings. Each effect set can have different settings individually. You can

switch the effect sets in the 'Eff' field of the 'Eff set' page in EFFECT mode. This helps when you have complicated sets of effects as it

saves time having to intitialize each single effect at a time. In this section, you will learn how to copy, and reset the effect set.

Tip: You can switch the effect sets within the sequence by entering the Effect Set event to the sequence. For more information, see "Chapter

5: STEP EDIT mode" on page 41.
