EQ & Compressor
Every player and zone in MZAP has independent DSP processing.
Each effect section (EQ and Compressor) has an on/off toggle switch in its header. When an effect is bypassed the section body dims so its inactive state is clear at a glance. The bypass state is saved with the zone or player and restored after a reload or workspace switch, and the collapsed/expanded state of the EQ and Compressor sections is remembered too.
