M-Audio EQMan [15/31] Control status bar

Remote Control Software Operation

The Remote Control Software is actually two separate applications: the

EQMan Remote Control and EQ-Vol. EQ-Vol controls the output

levels of the EQMan board only. EQMan Remote Control controls all

graphic EQ settings and indirectly the output levels. It is also the home

of the EQMan program editor/librarian function that allows you to

load/configure/store sets of different EQ programs.

An EQ program contains settings for all EQ bands and volume settings.

An EQ “map” contains a set of 16 of these programs. EQ maps may be

stored and loaded from disk files, as well as transferred to EQMan

“Rom” for access by MIDI sequencers and other applications (see Midi

Control of EQMan section for more info).

When running the EQMan Remote Control, there is an option to show

EQ-Vol as well. This is the most typical mode of operation. In this

mode, whenever you open or close the Remote Control, EQ-Vol opens

and closes as well. EQ-Vol position also tracks the position of the

Remote Control. Below is pictured the Remote Control and EQ-Vol

running together.

Slider Bars and Volume Faders

The EQMan’s vertical scroll bars emulate the “sliders” and “faders” on a

hardware equalizer. Changing the EQ slider positions (by dragging

them up or down with the mouse) controls each EQ frequency band that

you wish to boost (up to +12dB) or cut (as much as -12dB). Likewise,

the volume on the EQMan left and right channels may be set by

dragging their respective rectangular faders. The group of seven leftmost

EQ sliders control the left channel of the EQMan and the rightmost

seven sliders in the Remote Control, control the right channel. On the

Volume Control, the left slider controls the left output level

Control/Status Bar

The gray Control/Status Bar at the bottom of the application is used to

access special functions as well as display current information.

Elements of the Control/Status Bar are from left to right: the File

Button, the Rom button, the Options button, the current program status

display, the Lock button, the Flat button, and the Map button. The

EQ-Vol application also has its own Lock button and adds a Mute

button.
