There is a 10-band equalizer to adjust audio frequencies. When DirectX 8 or above is installed on the computer you can use these audio effects: reverb, chorus, flanger, echo and sound rotation. If you have a "full duplex" soundboard, you can use the spectrum window to display 12 visual effects that you can change in turn with a single left or right mouse click on the effect window. The horizontal track bar allows jumping to a specific location within the audio stream. The vertical track bar sets up the audio level. While the right and left arrows allows you to move forward or backward in the audio play list. The up arrow shows or hides the audio FX window, and the down arrow shows or hides the spectrum display.
