Recall States
Recalling is simple. The PRESET knob is both a rotary encoder and a push button. Any preset (1-399) can
be recalled at any time. Rotate the PRESET knob until the LED display shows the correct number of the save-
state you would like to load (the factory example presets are loaded from memory slots 1-7). Once the correct
number is shown on the display, press the PRESET knob once. The new state is now loaded on the hardware, and
all LED displays around the knobs represent the current state of the hardware. Recalling a Preset loads the same
information into the A/B registers so they can both start from “scratch.”
Undo
If you accidentally load settings that replace your current one, you can go back to the earlier state by loading
memory-cell number 400. This clever memory always stores the setting one step before the last change, so it
serves as an instant undo. Loving the EQ232P means never having to say you’re sorry!
Storing Custom User States
With 399 memory cells, there are many opportunities to try different setups for each source and quickly choose
the best one as needed. This is one of the greatest strengths of our hybrid EQ approach, so don’t be afraid to
experiment. To save your own custom setting into the unit, rotate the PRESET knob to an unused memory cell (or
one you wish to overwrite), then press and hold the PRESET knob for 2 seconds. The LED display will change to
a dialog saying NO . Turn the PRESET knob till the LED display shows the YES dialog and confirm your selection
by pressing the PRESET knob again. The display will now show SAVEd and you will notice a small red dot in the
lower right corner of the LED display indicating the information has been stored. The No/Yes dialog is a safety
feature—it ensures you cannot mistakenly overwrite a memory cell.
Presets and Linked Mode
Each Preset contains a single channel’s worth of information. When the unit is in Linked mode, recalling a
single Preset will control both channels equally. When in dual-mono mode controlling Channel 1, recalling a
Preset will set the state of channel 1 only and not affect channel 2. Recalling a Preset into Channel 2 sets the state
of Channel 2 and (not coincidentally) also sets the state of Linked mode, since Linked mode shares a memory cell
with Channel 2. Thus it is possible to transfer or copy information from channel to channel using the Presets.
Reset State
Pressing the PRESET knob twice in quick succession will reset the unit. This conveniently zeros out all gains
and centers all frequency selections. It also puts every filter section into Bypass except for the master ENGAGE
button.
Memory Clear (Delete)
Though it’s unnecessary in practice, if you ever want to clear a memory (perhaps to hide your most secret EQ
setting from prying eyes), start with the same procedure as storing: rotate the PRESET knob to a used memory cell,
then press and hold the PRESET knob for 2 seconds. The LED display will change to a dialog saying NO . Turn the
PRESET knob till the LED display shows dEL , then press the knob once. The red dot at the lower right-hand corner
of the display will disappear, indicating the memory has been cleared.
Display Codes
The LED display in the preset section gives feedback to all the user actions: Yes/No overwrite dialogs, save-
state memory, the current value of a rotating knob, which state is loaded or if a change has been made to the
current active state.
1. Red Dot: Save-state is written - If a memory cell contains saved-state information, a small red dot
appears in the lower right-hand corner of the LED display. Since memory cells 1-7 have already been written
at the factory, notice the difference between memory cell 7 and cell 8. The red dot is missing from cell 8, which
shows that the memory cell is empty (though all 399 cells are available if you wish to overwrite any one).
