Alesis DEQ230D User Manual

Basics of Equalization 

 

Once you have created a program you would like to save, press the 

[STORE] button to enter Store mode. This will cause the 

Numeric LED Display to blink with the number of  the current 

program.  

 

If  you were on a Preset program while editing, you will not be able 

to store the program until you select one of  the 30 User program 

locations as its destination. To do this, use the [DOWN/UP] 

buttons. If  you press the [UP] button first, you will see the 

Numeric LED Display jump to User program 30, which is the first 

available User program location. If  you press the [DOWN] 

button first, you will see the Numeric LED Display jump to User 

program 59, which is the highest-numbered User program location 

available. If  you were already on a User program when you entered 

Store mode, then using the [DOWN/UP] buttons will call up the 

next User program.  

 

Once you are in the User program area inside Store mode, pressing 

the [DOWN/UP] buttons allows you to choose a program 

number between 30-59 as the destination for your edited program. 

Pressing and holding one of  these buttons will cause the unit to 

scroll progressively faster through the available choices. If  you're 

holding the [DOWN] button, when the unit reaches User 

program 30 it will "wrap" around to number 59 and continue 

scrolling downward. Pressing and holding the [UP] button will 

cause the numbers to scroll in the opposite direction, wrapping 

from program 59 to program 30 and continuing upward.  

 

As in Program mode, there's an even faster way to select the 

destination program location. If  you press and hold the [DOWN] 

button and then push the [UP] button, the unit will jump to 

Program 30. If  you continue pressing the [UP] button, the 

DEQ230 will jump forward through the User locations in 

increments of  10 (40, 50, 30, 40, 50, etc.). Similarly, if  you press 

and hold the [UP] button and then push the [DOWN] button, 

the unit will jump to Program 30. If  you continue pressing the 

[DOWN] button, the DEQ230 will jump backward through the 

User locations in increments of  10 (50, 40, 30, 50, 40, 30, etc.).  

 

Once you have chosen the location you want, press the [STORE] 

button again. This will store the program into the user location 

you selected.  

 

Remember, if  at any time you decide you do not want to save the 

edited program, simply press the [LINK/EXIT] button to return 

to Program mode. Your edited program will still be there, as 

evidenced by the dot on the right side of  the Numeric LED 

Display. The “destination” program will not have been 

overwritten.
