Abstract
The disclosed embodiment may be a parametric equalization hardware that is coupled to computer readable memory software configured to present a command interface to a user and control the equalization hardware to manipulate the frequency, Q, and gain. Additionally, software is configured to simultaneously vary the Q and gain of an equalization curve between two preset values defined by: (1) a high gain and narrow Q (“Fire”); and (2) low gain and wide Q (“Water”).
Claims2
An equalizer comprising:
- parametric equalization hardware that is coupled to computer readable memory with software in the form of programming code configured to present a command interface to a user and control the equalization hardware to manipulate the frequency, the Q, and the gain of an audio signal;
- wherein the computer hardware and software are configured to visually present the frequency response curve of the audio equipment to the user via the command interface;
- wherein the computer software may be operationally configured to alter the shape of the resonance response curve and correspondingly equalize the audio signal;
- wherein the software is further in the form of programming code that is configured to display a character control slider on the command interface that, when manipulated, simultaneously varies the Q and gain of an equalization curve between two preset values defined by:
- (1) a high gain and narrow Q;
- and (2) low win and wide Q.

An equalizer comprising:
- audio equipment hardware, including an equalizer hardware and computer hardware coupled to computer readable memory;
- software in the form of programming code installed on the computer readable memory for equalizing an audio signal and further in the form of programming code configured to present a command interface to a user and control the equalization hardware to manipulate the frequency, the Q, and the gain of an audio signal;
- wherein the computer hardware and software are configured to visually present the frequency response curve of the audio equipment to the user;
- wherein the computer software is operationally configured to alter the shape of the resonance response curve and correspondingly equalize the audio signal;
- wherein, the frequency response is presented as a normal bell curve, wherein the software is configured for adjusting the curve via manipulating the frequency for translating the curve, Q for manipulating the horizontal scale of the curve, and gain for adjusting the vertical scale of the curve;
- and,
- wherein the software is further in the form of programming code that is configured to display a character control slider that, when manipulated, simultaneously varies the Q and gain of an equalization curve between two preset values defined by:
- (1) a high gain and narrow Q;
- and (2) low gain and wide Q.
