frequency portion of the sound. This is not available when you select “Master” from among the tabs at the top of the
Mixer display.

Harmonic Content Allows you to adjust the Resonance effect (page 43) for each part. This can be used in
combination with the “Brightness” parameter to add further character to the sound.
Brightness Determines the brightness of the sound for each part by adjusting the cutoff frequency
(page 43).

Equalizer (also called “EQ”) is a sound processor that divides the frequency spectrum into multiple bands that can be
boosted or cut as required to tailor the overall frequency response. The “Panel” – “Song Ch9-16” Part Selection tabs at the
top of the Mixer display let you adjust the EQ for each corresponding part, while “Master” lets you make overall EQ
adjustments for the entire instrument.
Part EQ (when one of the “Panel” – “Song Ch 9-16” tabs is selected)
Master EQ (when the “Master” tab is selected)
This instrument possesses a high grade five-band digital EQ. With this function, a final effect — tone control — can be
applied to the output of your instrument. You can select one of the five preset EQ types in the “Master” display. You can
even create your own custom EQ settings by adjusting the frequency bands, and save the settings to one of two User
Master EQ types.
NOTE Master EQ cannot be applied to an Audio Song or the Metronome sound.
