Output Level
The output of each effects block can be attenuated to achieve just the right
blend of effects. Press PARAMETER page 2 LEVELS {FXA LVL} or {FXB
LVL} to alter this parameter. Be aware that there is also “global” level attenuation in the
LEVELS area. ! see page 20
Bypassing Effects Blocks
You can bypass an effects block by toggling PARAMETER <FXA: ON> to
<FXA: OFF>. The same thing works for effects block B (FXB). The bypass
status of an effects block is a global function – it is NOT saved and loaded
with the program.
To avoid confusion, if either FXA or FXB has been explicitly bypassed by these controls, the red BYPASS
light will flash. Of course, if the system as a whole is bypassed, you’ll not be able to see it …..
Loading Different Algorithms into Effects Blocks
You load different algorithms into an effects block of the currently loaded program by selecting a program
that already contains the algorithm you want. Think of it as stealing the algorithm and its parameter values.
Since programs 100 to 199 represent the raw algorithms themselves, loading a “raw algorithm” is just a spe-
cial case of the more general procedure. See the separate “Eclipse Algorithms” document for more informa-
tion about the Eclipse’s algorithms.
First things first; if you want to load an algorithm into effects block B
(FXB) make sure PARAMETER page 2 (ROUTING) is something other than
xfade, as this routing restricts a program to only one effects block.
To load a new algorithm, first go to
PARAMETER page 3.
Use
PARAMETER page 3 (PROGRAM) to select the program that you
would like to “steal” the algorithm from. In this case, we’re going to steal
from RingPongRoom.
If the program you’re stealing from uses both of its effects blocks (many
don’t), you can use PARAMETER page 3 (BLOCK) to select which block
contains the algorithm you’d like to steal. Here we can steal
m_ringtaps
from effects block A or we can turn the knob to steal
reverb 8 from ef-
fects block B.
Finally, press PARAMETER page 3 <LOAD FXA> to load the above-selected algorithm into effects block A
(
FXA) of the currently loaded program, or press PARAMETER page 3 <LOAD FXB> to load the above-selected al-
gorithm into effects block B (
FXB) of the currently loaded program.
Note that if you load an algorithm into effects block B (
FXB), none of the newly loaded algorithm’s HOT
KEYS
will be present.
In most cases any two algorithms can be selected and loaded. However, a
few algorithms are sufficiently large that they can only be paired with a
small one. In such cases you may see a display like the one on the left. This tells you that a large algorithm is
currently loaded in effects block A (
FXA), and there is not enough room remaining to load the B effects
block from the displayed program. To get round this, either choose a new algorithm for block A, or look for
a smaller one to fit into block B.
