Hey John, in the sense that the OP is asking about "flat", he's not referring to a frequency response curve. Rather, he's referring to no gain and no attenuation imparted by the control's circuit - i.e., "flat". It may sometimes be called "zero", but there's a lot of equipment where zero simply means EITHER no gain, OR, no attenuation.
OP, not being familiar with the particular product, but taking an educated guess, I'd say that "flat" using a +4 scale and pro equipment is where it indicates "+4", and "flat" using a -10 scale and consumer equipment is where it indicates "-10". Of course, the output characteristics of the source will affect where "flat" actually is, and where the best position is on the control - some sources run a little hot, others a little low.
And yes, all the variations on measuring and spec'ing levels can be quite confusing unless you've been steeped in them for years, which most audio folks, including me, haven't! I would say that the folks who can readily equate one to another, and easily move from one to another, and interface both are: audio electronics design engineers, studio techs, professional equipment repair techs, broadcast engineers, and not many other people!
:)
In any case, I'm mystified as to why the OP doesn't look at the manual or contact Yamaha.
