Yup – REW will only do an “assign filters” function assuming you’re using a parametric equalizer. But you can do the workaround Otto suggested, and tweak your filters manually. It’s easy.

Just select “Equaliser” from the tool bar, and select “Generic.” Then open the “EQ Filters” panel. It will show a total of 20 filters. For each filter, change the Type field from “None” to “PK.” This will bring up the Frequency, Gain and Q fields. “Q” is the tricky one – that’s bandwidth. Your BSR’s have 1-octave filters, which is a Q value of 1.4. Your Richter has 1/2-octave filters, which is a Q value of 2.9. So 1.4 or 2.9 are the numbers you want to use, depending on the equalizer.

So, let’s say you want to assign the first six filters as the Richter. For the first filter you’d change the Type to PK, the Frequency to 22.5, and the Q to 2.9. Same thing with the second filter, only the frequency will be 31.5. And so on. Now, when you change the Gain by clicking the “up” or “down” buttons, you’ll be able to see on the REW screen the effect of that filter. Make sense?

I think I’d leave filters 6-10 turned off, and assign the BSR as filters 11-20, grouping them separate from the Richter filters. Just to make things more logical.
