EQ
The CD3000XL is also equipped with an EQ (equalisation) DSP function. This allows you to
add EQ, affecting the tone of the sample. Pressing in any of the DSP pages will give this
screen display:
In the EQ, you may select from four different EQ types and apply cut and boost of gain at
specific frequencies. The EQ is only one band but you may EQ samples that you have already
processed to have an almost unlimited amount of frequency bands!
The fields on this page are:
Here you may select whether you will edit in mono or, with stereo samples, in
stereo. When EQ’ing stereo samples, you can select MONO and EQ each side
separately if you wish.
This selects the EQ response curve. You may select LOW SHELF. This offers
the following response slope:
FREQ
A frequency range below the EQ frequency setting can be cut or boosted.
This is good for adding or removing bass end components in a sound.
The next selection is BAND WIDE:
FREQ
A wide band either side of the EQ frequency can be cut or boosted. This
selection is useful for gently accentuating or removing certain frequencies in
the sound. It would be useful to add some mid range frequencies to a snare
sound, for example. The next selection, BAND THIN is well suited for removing
specific frequencies but the wider frequency response of BAND WIDE makes
the EQ effect slightly broader.
