# Effects Menu On the “EQ” tab you can find a 16-band EQ. This configuration is global and affects all scales and all sounds produced by the instrument. ![](media/effects-01.png) ### EQ #### Equalizer on *firmware 6.8+.* Function: Switches the sixteen-band equaliser on or off. It is global: one setting shapes every scale and every sound the instrument makes. #### Gain correction (dB) *firmware 6.8+.* Function: Compensates for the overall level change that boosting or cutting bands causes, so the equaliser does not make the instrument louder or quieter as a side effect. #### EQ Resolution *Dev, firmware 6.8+.* Function: Sets how many filter stages each band uses. More stages give a sharper, narrower band at the cost of processing. #### EQ Band 1 / 25 Hz (dB) *firmware 6.8+.* Function: One of sixteen fixed EQ bands, each cutting or boosting around its own centre frequency. Together they shape the instrument's whole output; the setting is global and applies to every scale and every sound. #### EQ Band 2 / 40 Hz (dB) *firmware 6.8+.* Function: An EQ band. See EQ Band 1 for how the sixteen work. #### EQ Band 3 / 60 Hz (dB) *firmware 6.8+.* Function: An EQ band. See EQ Band 1 for how the sixteen work. #### EQ Band 4 / 90 Hz (dB) *firmware 6.8+.* Function: An EQ band. See EQ Band 1 for how the sixteen work. #### EQ Band 5 / 140 Hz (dB) *firmware 6.8+.* Function: An EQ band. See EQ Band 1 for how the sixteen work. #### EQ Band 6 / 200 Hz (dB) *firmware 6.8+.* Function: An EQ band. See EQ Band 1 for how the sixteen work. #### EQ Band 7 / 300 Hz (dB) *firmware 6.8+.* Function: An EQ band. See EQ Band 1 for how the sixteen work. #### EQ Band 8 / 500 Hz (dB) *firmware 6.8+.* Function: An EQ band. See EQ Band 1 for how the sixteen work. #### EQ Band 9 / 800 Hz (dB) *firmware 6.8+.* Function: An EQ band. See EQ Band 1 for how the sixteen work. #### EQ Band 10 / 1.2 kHz (dB) *firmware 6.8+.* Function: An EQ band. See EQ Band 1 for how the sixteen work. #### EQ Band 11 / 1.8 kHz (dB) *firmware 6.8+.* Function: An EQ band. See EQ Band 1 for how the sixteen work. #### EQ Band 12 / 2.8 kHz (dB) *firmware 6.8+.* Function: An EQ band. See EQ Band 1 for how the sixteen work. #### EQ Band 13 / 4.4 kHz (dB) *firmware 6.8+.* Function: An EQ band. See EQ Band 1 for how the sixteen work. #### EQ Band 14 / 6.8 kHz (dB) *firmware 6.8+.* Function: An EQ band. See EQ Band 1 for how the sixteen work. #### EQ Band 15 / 10 kHz (dB) *firmware 6.8+.* Function: An EQ band. See EQ Band 1 for how the sixteen work. #### EQ Band 16 / 16 kHz (dB) *firmware 6.8+.* Function: An EQ band. See EQ Band 1 for how the sixteen work. ### Dissonance filter #### Dissonance filter *Not live, Dev, firmware 6.8+.* Tooltip: Reduce unwanted ringing and dissonant frequencies Function: Quietens the frequencies in each recording that do not belong to the scale. Not live: the working version of this filter is the per-scale one in My Scales. #### Octave brightness *Not live, Dev, firmware 6.8+.* Tooltip: Adjust the tonal brightness and presence of the octave overtone (12 semitones above the fundamental) Function: Adjusts the presence of the octave overtone, twelve semitones above each note. Not live: the working version is Upper octave filter in My Scales. #### Fifth Color *Not live, Dev, firmware 6.8+.* Tooltip: Enhance or soften the shimmer of the compound fifth harmonic for richer character Function: Adjusts the shimmer of the compound fifth harmonic. Not live: the working version is Upper fifth filter in My Scales. ### Harmony filter #### Harmony filter *Not live, Dev, firmware 6.8+.* Tooltip: Reduce harmony frequencies (octave / fifth) Function: Quietens the octave and fifth that each sample carries alongside its fundamental. Not live: the working version is the per-scale filter in My Scales.
