SonicSyncSail's Equalizer is a software-based 10-band parametric style controller intended to give users precise tonal control over playback. The equalizer is accessible from the Audio FX area and is mutually exclusive with the Dhvanix sound engine to avoid over-processing.
Key points: master gain, 10 adjustable bands, two graph interpolation modes, horizontally scrollable preset chips, and a seamless preset-to-custom workflow.
Navigate: MySpace - Audio FX - Equalizer. A toggle at the top of the Equalizer screen enables or disables the effect. When enabled, all equalizer controls become visible. When disabled, the equalizer is bypassed and controls are hidden or dimmed.
The Master Gain slider controls the combined output gain produced by the individual band adjustments. Range: 10% to 200%. Default: 100%. Use Master Gain to prevent clipping or distortion after aggressive band boosts. If you observe distortion when changing band gains, reduce Master Gain until the signal is clean.
Ten band sliders are provided with numeric readouts. Each band is adjustable from -12.0 dB to +12.0 dB, with 0.0 dB as flat. Band frequency centers are fixed to the values listed in the next section.
Two visualization modes are available for the EQ curve: linear and cubic. The toggle switches the interpolation algorithm used to render the connecting curve between band nodes. This affects the visual presentation only and does not change the numerical band values.
The equalizer exposes 10 frequency bands with meaningful band labels so users can intuitively know what each band affects:
Each band is presented as a vertical slider with a numeric dB readout, and bands are visually connected by the selected interpolation curve to form an overall EQ line. Labels are shown under each band to help non-expert users make meaningful adjustments.
Two rendering modes are available for the connecting curve:
Selecting either mode updates only the visual representation, not the underlying dB values for each band.
SonicSyncSail includes mindful factory presets that act as starting points. Presets appear as vertically scrollable chips. Tap a chip to apply the preset instantly; when you modify any band after applying a preset, the system enters a transient custom state derived from that preset.
Presets are applied instantly. When a user applies a preset and then changes any band, the system creates a transient custom state using the preset as the base. This allows fluid experimentation without locking a preset file. Custom states are not persistently saved across sessions by design. This simplifies the experience and avoids clutter from many slightly altered presets.
Note: custom state persists only for the current session. If the user needs persistent custom presets later, the app can be extended to add explicit "save preset" functionality, saving of user presets is a planned enhancement may be introduced in future versions.
Important: the Equalizer and Dhvanix are mutually exclusive. When Dhvanix is enabled, the Equalizer is automatically disabled and vice versa. This prevents cumulative processing and preserves sonic intent.
Not in the current release. Custom changes create a transient custom state derived from the last preset. Persistent saving of user presets is a planned enhancement.
Dhvanix is a full-fledged sound engine that applies instrument-aware processing. Running both would cause layered processing and unpredictable results. The app prevents this by disabling the Equalizer automatically if Dhvanix is activated.
