The PEQ6 is Akai's MIDI-controllable programmable equalizer from the late 80s, designed to sit alongside the S900/S950 samplers and the rest of the Akai rack. Six bands of EQ with patches you can store and recall over MIDI, so your tone moves change with your sequence. A neat, unusual bit of programmable analog-era tone shaping.
