Re: Passing REW EQ settings onto the DEQ2496?


Did anyone ever get REW settings into the DEQ via midi? I've found the Auto EQ on the DEQ works really well, but the REW process gives me more feeling of control, but adding the values in manually is hard work if you want to do it several times.... (ok I'm just lazy)
Full room EQ with Quad 57s and a Linn Sizmik, is awsome - best £200 I've ever spent on music.

No, it's not supported.... you have to enter by hand...

Been a while since I posted here @ "TheShack".

I was on the fencepost of which EQ to get, the FBQ2496 Feedback Destroyer or the DEQ2496 Ultracurve Pro.

I've done a search in this forum and seems for my IB usage the FBQ2496 will serve me fine - and save me $150 as well.

I have to ask, has passing REW setting into the DEQ2496 been deemed not worth programing because few people have that need? I can see that. I'm not complaining, just lazy like others.
Part of me likes the feature set of the DEQ2496, but again seems like not really needed for IB Eq purposes (from what I read here)

Thx.

It's on Johns list of things-to-do, but hasn't happened yet.

I just save $150 and ordered the FBQ2496, so one less person who'd need that.
(sounds like little bang for the software programming effort IMO)

Re: Passing REW EQ settings onto the DEQ2496?


Hi,

Curious and dreaming , I tried yesterday to pass filters from REW to the DEQ via midi... (using the FBQ preset in the equalizer selection)

The transfer gauge worked fine, it seemed to load, but I could not find the data on the DEQ. I suppose they should appear in the PEQ screen ?

Seemingly there shouldn't be too much left to do to have it work ...

Re: Passing REW EQ settings onto the DEQ2496?


I also have the DEQ2496 and would LOVE for it to be supported by REW for MIDI transfers. I have had it for 3 or 4 years now in my system for SUB EQ and am over doing manual filter adjustments with it. Call me lazy if you will but it has a MIDI interface so it would be great if we could actually use it ?

I haven't used REW yet but am about too. I have been planning to use REW for the last 2 years but never got round to buying an SPL meter, Sound card, Laptop, Mic preamp and all the cables. I only have the DEQ and an ECM8000 right now.

So as you can see i don't really want to have to shelve the DEQ and buy a BFD on top of all that just so i can do the MIDI trick that everyone raves about.

So if there is any way to add the DEQ to REW's list that would be ace

Re: Passing REW EQ settings onto the DEQ2496?


Hi,
In fact I realized after my post we must be aware that sending raw data to the DEQ would result in a very uncomplete use of this machine: it has far more capabilities than the FBQ does...
The export would probably use only a very small amount of the adjustments, and a lot of manual tweaking would still be necessary...

Whereas the FBQ has only one possible adjustment way, and makes it therefore much more easy to handle from an external soft.

Am I right ?

The DEQ has more capabilities, but for the purposes of modal equalisation only the parametric EQ features are required. Any use beyond that would need to be handled manually.

That's all i use anyway. I don't touch any of the other adjustments as they are more likely to mess things up more than fixing anything.

I got mine because a friend recommended it over the BFD units and it can also do Auto EQ with the ECM8000. That made it very attractive to someone who didn't know how to EQ manually at the time. But it only works on the GEQ side and that is 1/3 octave only (way too corse) and it didn't work anyway. It would BOOST all dip frequencies rather than cut the peaks and would boost the wrong ones anyway. And Behringer state in the instructions it is not accurate below 80Hz for Auto EQ and you have to manually force it to EQ below 80Hz if you really want it too.

It would be a better unit for use with main speakers as it was designed. But the PEQ it has is perfect for some serious SUB EQ.

Re: Passing REW EQ settings onto the DEQ2496?


Just thought I'd complete this thread, as a lot has happened since I last posted. I used the DEQ2496 with my Quad 57 / Linn Sub system and found that the internal room EQ system came up with very similar results to the RoomEQ software, so I was confident in its settings. Eventually we went a bit mad and bought some Martin Logan summits - we were keen to get going with them, so put the Behringrer into bypass mode, and started listening. The MLs are quite fussy about positioning, but its obvious when its right. The bass sounded fine without using the built in 25Hz and 50 Hz adjusters, so I decided to test it all with the RoomEQ again, and amazingly, there are almost no bass problems at all. I dialled in the small correction into the DEQ2496, and it did remove a slight boom on one or two difficult pieces, but the MLs are so revealing, we decided that the system as a whole sounds better without the Behringer in circuit, though we do now use it as a DAC when playing music from the computer - but that IS another story.
