Flattop Parametric Equalizer

Band Count

Sets the number of bands available in the Equalizer, from 1 to 32.

Min Transition Bandwidth

Determines how quickly the response transitions from the non-gain region to the gain region or vice versa. A wide (1 Octave) transition results in less computational resources being used while a narrow (1/12 Octave) transition results in more computational resources being used. If the default option (1/12 Octave) results in resource usage that is too high and if a wider transition bandwidth is acceptable, select a wider option.

Options: 1, 1/2, 1/3, 1/6, 1/12 Octave (default)

Note: The actual transition bandwidth can still be adjusted using the Lower and Upper Bandwidth controls in the control panel.

Channels: Type

Sets the type of input/output channels: Mono, Stereo, or Multi-Channel. Multi-Channel enables the Count property.

Channels: Count

Sets the number of input/output channels for Multi-Channel, from 2 to 256.

Response Panel: Enabled

Enables or disables the graphical Response graph.

Response Panel: Size

Sets the size of the graphical Response graph: Small, Medium, Large.

Response

Response Panel

The Response panel provides vertical and horizontal cross-hairs with a dynamic frequency and level read-out. Place the mouse courser over the graph to activate the cross-hairs. When the Phase control is activated, the horizontal cross-hair line to the left of center represents the normal curve, the right side represents the phase curve. The readout is only for the normal curve.

X-Axis = Frequency, 20Hz to 20kHz

Y-Axis Left = dB, -20 to 20

Y Axis Right = Phase, -180° to 180°

All (Bands)

A toggle button that activates a graphical display all bands of the equalizer. When the button is not enabled, the Response Panel displays a composite of all the bands. The composite cannot be turned off.

Phase

Turns the Phase curve display on and off.

Master

Bypass

Click to bypass all bands of the equalizer.

Invert

Click to toggle whether the output signal of the equalizer is inverted or normal.

Mute

Click to mute the output of the equalizer.

Gain

Adjust the overall gain of the equalizer, from -20dB to 20dB (default is 0dB).

Band

Bypass

Click to bypass an individual frequency band.

Frequency

Adjust the Lower, Center, and Upper frequency for each band, from 10.0Hz to 20.0kHz.

Note: The default is different for each band, and depends on number of bands.

Gain

Set the gain for an individual frequency band, from -20dB to 20dB (default is 0dB).

Bandwidth

Set the Lower, Center, and Upper Bandwidth octave value of an individual band of the equalizer, up to 10.0.

Note: The minimum value depends on the Min Transition Bandwidth property. The Center bandwidth octave defaults to 1.00.

Type

Select the type of equalizer for the individual band: Parametric (default), Low-Shelf, or High-Shelf.
