Basics of Equalization 3

There are pros and cons to both ways of working. So, experiment
with this feature and see which way works best for you.
To enable or disable the Release Edit Group feature from this
Utility mode page, just turn the [VALUE] encoder.
Edit Time Out (On/Off)
The Edit Time Out function serves as an “auto-exit” feature.
When it is enabled, if you do not change the gain value of any
band or Edit Group for 30 seconds, the DEQ830 will exit
automatically to Program mode.
We have included this feature so the DEQ830 can mold itself as
seamlessly as possible into your working style. If you prefer not to
have the unit continue reminding you it is still in Edit mode by
blinking its LEDs (vying for your attention, as it were, with the VU
meters on your mixer), then Edit Time Out is a feature you will
appreciate.
On the other hand, if you prefer to have the DEQ830 remain in
Edit mode so you will not lose your chosen Edit Group when the
unit returns to Program mode, you may want keep the Edit Time
Out function off.
The default setting for this function is "Off"; to enable it turn the
[VALUE] encoder.
MIDI Channel (ALL, 1-16)
The setting for this function determines which MIDI channel the
DEQ830 will use to send and receive program changes. The ALL
setting means program changes will be received regardless of
which channel they are on. When ALL is selected, program
changes will be sent only on channel 1.
Use the [VALUE] encoder to select the desired setting.
MIDI Program Change (On/Off)
This function determines whether the DEQ830 responds to MIDI
Program Change messages. The default setting for the MIDI
Program Change function is “On.” If you want the DEQ830 not
to respond to program changes, use the [VALUE] encoder to
change it to “Off.”
MIDI Out/Thru Select (Out/Thru)
Sometimes it is necessary to “daisy-chain” MIDI devices so the
MIDI data from one unit will be passed through one or more
other pieces of MIDI gear until it is able to reach the last unit in
the chain. The DEQ830 will allow you to do that; just toggle this
function’s setting from Out to Thru (displayed as “thr”).
The setting on this page will not affect whether or not the
DEQ830 will send its memory out the MIDI Out jack. When that
