Settings:EQ L/H, P.EQ, boost6, boost12, boost18, thru
EQ L/H (Low/High) ................ This is a “shelving” equalizer, which combines separate high and low frequency bands. 
P.EQ (Parametric EQ) ............ The Parametric EQ is used to attenuate or boost signal levels (gain) around the Frequency. This type 
features 32 different “Q” settings, which determine the frequency band width of the equalizer.
boost6 (boost 6dB)/boost12 (boost 12dB)/boost18 (boost 18dB)
These can be used to boost the level of the entire signal by 6dB, 12dB and 18dB, respectively. 
thru ........................................ If you select this, the equalizers are bypassed and the entire signal is unaffected.

00Equal Temp (Equal temperament)
--The “compromise” tuning used for most of the last 200 years of Western music, and found 
on most electronic keyboards. Each half step is exactly 1/12 of an octave, and music can 
be played in any key with equal ease. However, none of the intervals are perfectly in tune.
01PureMaj (Pure major)
C ~ BThis tuning is designed so that most of the intervals (especially the major third and perfect 
fifth) in the major scale are pure. This means that other intervals will be correspondingly 
out of tune. You need to specify the key (C~B) you will be playing in.
02PureMin (Pure minor) C ~ B The same as Pure Major, but designed for the minor scale.
03Werckmeist (Werckmeister)
C ~ BAndreas Werckmeiser, a contemporary of Bach, designed this tuning so that keyboard 
instruments could be played in any key. Each key has a unique character. 
04Kirnberger
C ~ BJohann Philipp Kirnberger, an 18th century composer, created this tempered scale to 
allow performances in any key.
05Vallot&Yng (Vallotti & Young)
C ~ BFrancescatonio Vallotti and Thomas Young (both mid-1700s) devised this adjustment to 
the Pythagorean tuning, in which the first six fifths are lower by the same amount.
061/4 Shift (1/4 shifted) -- This is the normal equal tempered scale shifted up 50 cents.
071/4 tone 
--Twenty-four equally spaced notes per octave. (Play twenty-four notes to move one 
octave.)
081/8 tone-- Forty-eight equally spaced notes per octave. (Play forty-eight notes to move one octave.)
