Presets

iQualize ships with 15 built-in presets. Built-in presets auto-fork when you edit them — your changes become a new custom preset, the original stays untouched.

Genre Presets

Preset	Bands	Character
Techno	10	Boosted sub and highs, scooped mids — punchy kicks and crispy hats
Hard Techno	10	Aggressive version of Techno — more sub, more top, deeper mid cut
Deep House	10	Warm sub-bass emphasis with gentle high-end lift
Minimal	10	Subtle low-end warmth with a light high-end shimmer
Luzifer's Void	16	Dark techno — gravitational sub mass, gutted mids, rising high-end staircase
DEADBEEF	10	Hex-derived dark techno — dead weight sub from 0xDEAD, beef presence from 0xBEEF
0xDEADBEEF	20	Pure math experiment — every frequency bit-shifted from the magic number, boost/notch warfare
American Rap	10	808-heavy sub-bass, mid scoop, vocal presence and brightness
German Rap	10	Warm mid-bass, vocal clarity, balanced brightness
