Hi

 

I have connected an arranger keyboard to the audio-in inputs. Is there a way to set the eq of the audio inputs because if I change sounds on the Montage the audio-in eq changes every time and this is not what you want.

 

Thanks, Ron

Try GLOBAL A/D = ON.  Touch the "FX" icon at the top of your touchscreen then turn on Global A/D.  This will defeat the Master FX and Master EQ as well as keep your A/D static to where they are when you turn GLOBAL A/D on.

Bad Mister explains in that reply how A/D Input is a rather 'odd duck' in the architecture. In many regards it is treated as a 17th part and you configure its settings in the context of a performance. Those digital settings are then saved with that part when the performance is saved.

The 'Global A/D' switch was added to 'Utility -> Effect' screen in an OS update so you won't find it in the reference doc but it is in the Supplementary doc on p.84:

Global A/D
When set to ON, neither the A/D Part volume nor other related parameters are retained even after switching to a different
Performance. When set to OFF, the A/D Part volume and other related parameters change according to the Volume setting in the
Performance.
Settings: Off, On

There are no fewer than FOUR possible 'GOTCHA!' to be aware of:

1. The 'Global A/D' setting is NOT saved when you power down so it will be OFF whenever you power up.

2. Turning the 'Global A/D' setting ON means 'use the current A/D settings for ALL performances'. Make sure the current performance has the A/D settings you need for ALL performances BEFORE you turn that switch ON. So you would normally load that 'preferred' performance and then turn the switch on.

You might want to create a custom 'LIVE SET' with that 'preferred' performance as the first one. Then you need to create a 'GIG SETUP' doc that reminds you to load the live set and THEN turn the 'Global A/D' switch ON.

3. The 'A/D Input' parameter on the 'Settings -> Audio I/O' screen (p.168 of the reference doc) can be set to 'Mic' or 'Line' but it won't change when you turn 'Global A/D' to ON. So if you use ON you need to make sure that ALL of your performances are configured to use the same Mic/Line setting since those two typically provide different signal levels.

If any of your performances in that special live set use a mic you need to remember to change the 'A/D Input parm to 'Mic' and then change it back to 'Line' if the next performance isn't using the mic.

4. Then there is the, obvious, front panel 'A/D INPUT' switch (p.17 Owner doc) since if it isn't ON then nothing else matters.
