EQ Plug-Ins : EQ III : 2–4 Band EQ III : Switching Between the 2–4 Band EQ and 7 Band EQ III

Switching Between the 2–4 Band EQ and 7 Band EQ III
When you switch an existing EQ III plug-in between the 2–4 Band and 7 Band versions, or when you import settings between versions, the change is subject to the following conditions:
Changing from 2–4 Band to 7 Band
After switching from a 2–4 band EQ to a 7 Band EQ, or importing settings from a 2–4 Band EQ, all control settings from the 2–4 Band EQ are preserved, and the bands in the 7 Band EQ inherit their enabled or bypassed state from the 2–4 Band plug-in.
Additional EQ bands can then be enabled to add them to the settings inherited from the 2–4 Band plug-in.
Changing from 7 Band to 2–4 Band
After switching from a 7 band EQ to a 2–4 Band EQ, or importing settings from a 7 Band EQ, all control settings from the 7 Band EQ are preserved in the 2–4 Band EQ, but all bands are placed in a bypassed state.
Bands can then be enabled manually, up to the 2–4 Band EQ four-filter limit.
