Likewise, if  the lowest gain setting of  any band in this same Edit 
Group is -4 dB, then the largest number you will see in the Relative 
Gain display going all the way up is 16 (see fig. 5).  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
So if  you run the Relative Gain display up and down repeatedly 
with this Edit Group, the display will hit the "ceiling" at 16 and 
bottom out at 18.  
 
The Release Edit Group function  
 
Once you have changed the value of  the Edit Group, the DEQ230 
will react one of  two ways to further presses of  the [BAND 
SELECT] buttons. To decide which option suits your working 
method or circumstance, experiment with the setting for the 
Release Edit Group function in Setup Mode. 
 
If  this function is on, the very next [BAND SELECT] button 
you press after you have changed the level of  the Edit Group will 
"release" all of  the previously selected bands. The only band that 
will be selected is the one you just pressed. You will know this 
when it happens, because that's the only Band Gain LED that will 
be blinking.  
 
If  the Release Edit Group function is off, the next [BAND 
SELECT] button you press after you have changed the level of  
the Edit Group will simply add that band to the Edit Group.  
 
For a more detailed explanation of  the Release Edit Group 
function, see pages 44 and 45. 
 
Remember, if you want to 
keep the edited program, 
be sure to store it to one of 
the User locations. For 
instructions on how to do 
this, turn to page 38.
