Channel 5: Hi-hat

By using a HPF (high pass filter) to cut the sound
below the LOW 125 Hz point, we will simultaneously
remove sounds other than the hi-hat. By adding a
2.5 dB boost to the L-MID 595 Hz region, we will
emphasize the crispness of the hi-hat, clarifying the
sense of beat.

Press the channel 5 [SEL] key to select the
hi-hat channel.

Channel 6: Acoustic bass

We will lower the LOW 35 Hz region by –7.5 dB to
add warmth to the sound. By lowering the L-MID
111 Hz region by 2.5 dB we will clarify the sense of
pitch, and by adding a 5.5 dB boost at the H-MID
2.82 kHz region we will emphasize the fingerboard
noise to enhance the characteristic flavor of an acous-
tic bass.

Press the channel 6 [SEL] key to select the
