Alesis DEQ230D User Manual

 

 

When this manual refers to Program mode, we mean the very top 

level of  functionality of  the DEQ230. Program mode is where you 

are when it is possible to use the [DOWN/UP] buttons to select 

between the different programs that reside in the unit. In this 

mode, you have access to the 30 Preset programs and 30 User 

programs.  

 

A Program consists of  all of  the settings on the front panel, with 

the exception of  the status of  the [BYPASS] button. The things 

stored in memory and recalled when you select a program are: 

 
•  The gain settings of  all 30 bands for both channel A and 

channel B  

•  The status of  the [LINK/EXIT] button  
•  The gain settings for all 30 bands of  channel B, even if  the 

Link function is active. They are merely "hidden" by the Link 

function. 

•  The individual Channel Level settings for channels A and B 

 

If  the DEQ230 has been in some other mode, pushing the 

[LINK/EXIT] button will return it to Program mode. If  you see 

a dot to the right of  the Program number LEDs, that means the 

program has been edited. Be certain to save any changes you've 

made that you would like to keep! To learn how to Store an edited 

program, turn to page 38. 

 

 

While in Program mode, if  you push one of  the [BAND 

SELECT] buttons the unit will enter Edit mode. You can tell you 

are in Edit mode when you see one or more of  the LEDs above 

the [BAND SELECT] buttons blinking. Whichever bands have a 

blinking LED are the ones that will be boosted or cut when you 

use the [DOWN] and [UP] buttons.  

 

After you have edited a frequency or an Edit Group (a group of  

frequencies), if  you push the [LINK/EXIT] button you will be 

returned to Program mode. If  you made any changes, you will see 

a dot to the right of  the Program number LEDs. But be certain to 

save any changes you've made that you would like to keep! That is 

where Store mode comes in.  

 

 

Pressing the [STORE] button takes you into Store mode. From 

here you can decide which of  the 30 User Programs will become 

the new location for the edited program. You may also instruct the 

DEQ230 to copy the settings from Channel A to Channel B 

during the Store process. For information on how to perform 

either of  these procedures, see page 38.
