Tuning beams

This section demonstrates how to adjust beams in the currently active preset and modify the EQ at a system level in HOLOPLOT Control.

The Tuning section's Main EQ, Function Groups and Beam Tuning tabs enable further sound personalization in real-time, offering more control over low frequencies.

Main EQ

It includes six bands to adjust the EQ at a system level.

Function Groups EQ

OS 2.3 introduces Function Groups, allowing you to tune beams according to their role within a Preset Layer. Function Group tuning covers six bands for EQ adjustment.

There are two ways of adjusting the EQ of a Function Group:

• Using the Function Group tab (recommended for taste EQ adjustments).

• Through the Beam Tuning tab. In this case, for the Function Group to appear, the beams in the table must be grouped by Preset Layer.

Beam tuning

The Beam Tuning page allows you to adjust the EQ, gain, and delay of the beams, either individually or in bulk, for the currently selected preset and all its associated environmental conditions. The Beam Tuning tab is divided into two panels:

1. Beam table – left panel

The table displays all the beams belonging to the active preset with the following information or actions:

• Gain and delay values broken into:

  • Automatically defined values are set in HOLOPLOT internal tools (these values are only accessible for project files created internally at HOLOPLOT).

  • User-defined values in HOLOPLOT Control's Tuning section. These fields are editable.

  • Total values are the sum of the automatically and user-defined values.

• Mute and Solo buttons.

• A signal indicator is used to verify whether a signal is present.

• EQ button to activate or bypass the EQ when previously set.

Batch actions are available for Mute/Solo, EQ bypass and copying/pasting EQs.

2. Beam EQ – right panel

This panel displays the EQ window for the selected beam on the left, featuring eight bands. It also shows the beam input level meter and the connected arrays to monitor output levels.

Applying tuning values to other beams

Copy and paste a beam's EQ values

OS 2.3 allows copying and pasting EQs between beams. You can use the copy/paste buttons on the beam EQ panel or the multi-select option on the beam table to batch-edit the EQs of selected beams.

Export and import a beam's EQ values

While tuning the system, you can export a beam's EQ values and apply them to other beams.

• To export the EQ, click the menu in the top-right corner of the beam EQ panel and select "Export EQ." A `.json` file will be downloaded immediately.

• To import the EQ, go to the beam you want to apply it to, click the menu at the top-right corner of the beam EQ panel, and select Import EQ. Select the previously saved `.json` file and confirm the action.

  • After importing the .json file, select "Apply to all env. conditions of the beam" and "Apply to all instances of the beam" to ensure the EQ remains consistent across all presets and environmental conditions.

Analog beam tuning

After setting up Analog Mode, go to the Tuning section and select the Analog Tuning tab to adjust the analog beams. The presets, audio inputs and modes related to analog are highlighted in blue.
