Massenburg EQ

Q Control

This control adjusts the bandwidth of the
affected frequencies around the center
frequency. A higher Q value creates a tighter
bandwidth so fewer frequencies around the
center frequency are affected. A smaller Q
value creates a wider bandwidth so more
frequencies around the center frequency are
affected.

To change the Q, click and drag up/down

or right/left on the band’s Q control.

The Q and Level can also be adjusted by

right-clicking and dragging in the graphic display.

EQ Types

Each band (A thru D) has five EQ
types, except band E which has
two additional types. Under each
band you will notice a display
indicating the type of envelope
currently chosen.

To change the EQ type,

click the EQ type display
and select from the drop-
down list.

Q

Band E has two additional EQ
types, Low Pass 24 and High
Pass 24. They both use a
steeper cutoff slope than Low
Pass 12 and High Pass 12.
