USING TITLE
Another capability afforded by the DEQ-II is the ability
to name the Presets, that is, to give them Titles. While
completely optional (Presets do not have to be Titled),
this feature can be a great help in identifying a given
curve. You might, for instance, want to give a Preset a
Title based on the time and date that the curve was
created, or one based on the source material for which
the equalization was done (e.g., speech or music). Preset
Titles may be up to 16 characters long. The procedure
described below details how to go about setting and
editing Preset Titles.
To Set A Preset Title:
1. From within the EQUALIZE menu, press the
softkey labeled TITLE. You will note that the
Softkey/Message Area has been replaced with
the legend “PRESET:.” If the Preset has not yet
been given a Title then there will be no
characters after the colon. You will also notice
at the right end of the Softkey/Message Area
that there are two Softkey labels: CANCEL and
ENTER. And again, the Band Cursor and band
status information have been blanked to
indicate that slider settings may not be adjusted.
Finally, in the position immediately to the right
of the colon there is a flashing cursor.
2. Titles are entered by using the UP and DOWN
cursor keys to cycle through the character set
and the LEFT and RIGHT cursor keys to
position the cursor (see Figure 2.5). The cursor
indicates which position in the Title will be
changed by the UP and DOWN keys. To
practice entering a Title, use the UP and
DOWN keys to find your first initial (see the
Character Set Chart on page 25, Appendix C, if you
have any trouble finding it). Once you have
found it, use the RIGHT key to move one
position to the right. Note that the character
you have already chosen remains in the first
position. Now, use UP and DOWN to set a
character for the second position. Continue
using the cursor keys to move the cursor and
select characters until you are comfortable with
these functions. Notice that when you cycle
beyond either end of the character set, the
character selection scrolls to the opposite end
of the character set. Also, when you attempt to
move the cursor beyond the ends of the 16–
character field the cursor scrolls to the opposite
end of the field. Note that you erase a
character by selecting the “space” character.
3. When you have entered the desired Title you
can store it by pressing the ENTER Softkey.
Doing so simultaneously stores the PRESET
Title in nonvolatile memory (as part of the
Preset) and returns you to the equalize menu.
If you decide not to store the PRESET Title,
simply press the CANCEL Softkey which will
return you to the EQUALIZE menu without
saving the Title.
The same Title may be used for more than one preset,
so be careful. Existing PRESET Titles are edited in
exactly the same way as new PRESET Titles are
entered.
