9) Knob Turning the knob changes parameter values.
10) Meter Displays the signal level at various points throughout the
signal path. It’s useful both for optimizing sound quality
(you always want a high signal short of clipping) and for
troubleshooting. You can alter the point in the signal flow at
which the meter is “inserted” by pressing
LEVELS meter
(source). ! see page 19
11) OVERLOAD
T
his LED lights to let you know that the signal being moni-
tored by the meter (see above) has clipped (overloaded). Clear
the
OVERLOAD LED at LEVELS meter <OL CLEAR>. This
LED is cleared automatically when a new program is
loaded.
12) Rate & Source
The LED that is illuminated tells you the rate that the Eclipse is sampling at. The
EXT LED
indicates that the Eclipse is taking its clock from the digital device connected to the Eclipse’s
digital input.
! see page 23
13) TAP Press the key once to check the current tempo or press it rhythmically to change the tempo.
Many of the Eclipse’s time-based parameters will automatically synchronize to the tempo
.
! To define the tempo, see page 13. To learn about parameters that synchronize to the tempo see page 32.
14) PARAMETER
Press this key to access all the program parameters – those found in the simpler
HOT KEYS
area and many more! Change a program’s underlying algorithm, change the routing between
effects blocks, or change the parameters of the underlying algorithms themselves.
! see page 30
You can alter the program-independent “modulation block” under this key as well.
! see page 39
15) BYPASS Press this key to bypass the effects. This key can be made to
bypass the entire unit, just the DSP, or it can mute the
Eclipse, depending on
SETUP MODES (BYPASS).
! see page 22 for more on Bypassing and Muting
16) MEMORY CARD
Insert a compact flash card into this slot to save and load programs. Remove a card by pull-
ing it out (but be sure the
BUSY light isn’t illuminated when you do so!). ! see pages 18 ,48 and 50
17) BUSY This LED illuminates when data is being written to or read from the memory card. If no
memory card is inserted,
BUSY illuminates when MIDI or serial data is transferred to or
from the Eclipse. This can be a handy troubleshooting tool!
18)
EDITED This LED illuminates when you’ve made changes to a program as a reminder to consider
updating the program before loading another one. If you do not update you’ll lose any
changes next time you load the program.
