Music Style EQ Settings These settings are "default" Yamaha MU80 values. 50Hz 125Hz 900Hz 3.2kHz 6.3kHz Jazz -06dB +02dB +04dB -04dB -06dB 125Hz 315Hz 1.0Hz 2.0kHz 5.0kHz Pops +04dB -04dB +03dB -04dB +06dB 125Hz 200Hz 1.2Hz 2.2kHz 6.3kHz Rock +07dB +04dB -04dB +04dB +02dB 80Hz 315Hz 1.0Hz 6.3kHz 8.0kHz Classic +03dB +04dB +00dB +02dB -03dB For conversion to the Roland JV/XP, the EFX 5:Spectrum is the closest parametric like band equalizer available. Whereas the MU80 allows 5-band variable but fixed style frequency attenuation from +/- 12dB, the Spectrum EFX allows 8-band fixed frequency attenuation with no "style" variation. The available Herz (Hz) frequency bands are, with their closest MU80 equivalents: JV/XP MU80 250 50, 125, 200 500 315 1k 900, 1k 1.25k 1.2k 2k 2k, 2.2k 3.15k 3.2k 4k 5k 8k 6.3k, 8k A method for consolidating/merging MU80 decibel (dB) data from upto three bands into one for the JV/XP synths, is to use proportional representations of values favoring the frequency closest to the closest frequency band. For example, in the first case, use 1/3, 2/3, and 1 ratios for each of the 50, 125, and 200 Hz associated dB values and scale the result to fit the +/- 12 dB range. Since the worst case would allow 12 * 1/3 + 12 * 2/3 + 12 * 1 = 24, dividing the result by 2 in ALL cases would allow the full range to be converted. Similarily, the cases for two dB frequency values needing conversion into one dB frequency value, i.e. a worst case would be 12 * (perhaps) 1/3 + 12 * 2/3. The actual relative conversion facters could be weighted toward favoring those bands closer to the merging band's value. To do one such conversion for you, of the Jazz "style" settings, we would convert their values from and to: [MU80] 50Hz 125Hz 900Hz 3.2kHz 6.3kHz Jazz -06dB +02dB +04dB -04dB -06dB [JV/XP] 250 500 1k 1.25k 2k 3.15k 4k 8k EFX:5 +02 0 +04 0 0 -04 -02 -04 The last two conversion values were weighted between close frequency bands favoring the closer band. The affect of the EFX "Bandwith" from 1 to 5 is also important to consider.
