Thank you for the clarification, Lyle.  I hadn't seen that information 
anywhere before.

The existing K3 manual seems quite misleading in talking about 8 "bands" 
of audio equalization. We now learn that the EQ facility allows the user 
to set the relative levels at 8 discrete frequency POINTS, and that the 
rest of the frequency response is interpolated by "joining up the dots".

That gives quite a different shape to the frequency response than many 
will have imagined.
