O2R Presets Work on the DA7

Here are the 11 pages of preset info in PDF format taken from the 02R manual.  These settings have comments next to them and titles (e.g. kick drum, snare etc.).  I've tried some of them out in our studio and while not all settings correspond exactly, they actually work pretty well.   Download this small PDF file, print it on your laser printer and try them out.  I found it interesting the way the author of these settings used high and low shelf filters on EQ settings. Just click below on Get PDF version.  If you don't have Acrobat Reader, it's a free download from the Adobe site just click get Acrobat reader above.
