Alesis DEQ830 User Manual

 

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

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

Numerical LED Display to blink with the number of  the current 

program.  

 

Turning the [VALUE] encoder allows you to choose a program 

number between 00-99 as the destination for your edited program.  

 

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

button again or just press the [VALUE] encoder. 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 [PROGRAM] button to return 

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

indicated by the flashing LED above the [STORE] button. The 

destination program will not have been overwritten. 

 

 

Saving an EQ curve is very similar to storing a program. Once you 

have created an EQ curve you would like to save, press the [SAVE 

CURVE] button to enter Save Curve mode. This will cause the 

Numerical LED Display to blink the number of  the curve you’ve 

been editing.  

 

Use the [VALUE] encoder to select a curve number between 00-

99 as the destination for the edited curve. Once you have chosen 

the location you want, press the [SAVE CURVE] button again or 

just press the [VALUE] encoder. This will save the curve’s gain 

settings and Channel Level setting into the location you selected.  

 

And if  at any time you decide you do not want to save the edited 

curve, simply press the [PROGRAM] button to return to 

Program mode. Your edited curve will still be in memory, as 

indicated by the flashing LED above the [STORE] button. The 

destination program will not have been overwritten. 

 

 

One of  the quickest ways to create a program is to select curves 

from the Curve Bank and copy them one at a time into a channel 

or Link Group. To enter Retrieve Curve mode, hold one of  the 

[CHANNEL SELECT] buttons as you turn the [VALUE] 

encoder. The Curve LED will light to indicate that the Numerical 

LED Display is now showing curve numbers from the Curve Bank.  

 

As you scroll through the curves you will see the Band Gain LEDs 

change to reflect the settings of  the curves you are passing over, 

but they will not be loaded into the selected channel until you 

release the [CHANNEL SELECT] button. This prevents having 

to listen to the audio through curves you know you don’t want. As 

soon as you release the [CHANNEL SELECT] button, the 

channel will assume the EQ and Channel Level settings for the 

curve you retrieved.
