3 Basics of Equalization

Button 9: System Exclusive Receive (Waiting)

As long as this page is active, the DEQ230D will allow an external

device such as a computer to transmit a new bank of 30 User

programs into its User memory space. Once the external device

begins sending the proper sys-ex data, the DEQ230D displays

the message “Rcving,” or “receiving.” Depending on the speed

of the transmission, the transfer can happen so quickly you may

not see that message. Either way, when the sys-ex transmission is

complete, the DEQ230D will let you know by displaying the

message “Done.”

If you change your mind in the middle of the transmission and

realize you’ve loaded in the wrong bank (or worse, you forgot to

back up the User programs first), you can interrupt the

transmission by pressing the [DOWN] button. But you’d better

act quickly, as the whole process takes only about one second.

And unfortunately, as soon the message “Rcving” is displayed the

DEQ230D begins overwriting programs in the User bank. If you

saw that message you will have lost some User programs. But if

you interrupted the transmission, you will have managed to save

some of the programs.

Button 10: 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 DEQ230D will allow you to do that when this

function is set to Thru (the default value).

The setting on this page will not affect whether or not the

DEQ230D will send its memory out the MIDI Out jack. When

that command is initiated (Button 8), the sys-ex data will be sent in

either case.

Button 11: Sample Rate Select (44.1/48)

The DEQ230D automatically senses an incoming digital signal

through its S/PDIF input and slaves its internal clock to that,

whether the rate is 44.1k or 48k. But if you need the DEQ230D to

serve as an A/D converter, then it also will need to be the master

clock to the receiving device.

You may prefer to record the output of the DEQ230D at either

44.1k or 48k. Use the setting of this function to set the internal

clock to the desired sample rate.

Button 12: Force Analog Input (Auto/Analog)

There may be times when you want the DEQ230D to ignore an

incoming digital signal, but you don’t want to have to reach around

to the back of the rack and unplug the cable going into the

S/PDIF input. This function will help prevent that tangled

spaghetti-mess of cables where no one knows whether the other

end is actually hooked up to anything!

Warning! Sending a

sys-ex bank into the

EQ230D will overwrite

the User memory

locations. Make sure

ou have backed up the

entire User memory

efore you load in a new

et of User programs.
