Getting Around And Altering Parameters; The "Areas" (E.g. - Levels, Program, Setup, Etc.) - Eventide Eclipse User Manual

Out

K) Remote Power In
Power supplied at this jack is sent "down" the MIDI In port's pins 6 and 7. Use a suitable
MIDI pedal board and connect its "wall wart" (external power supply) to this jack. Use a "7
pin" MIDI cable between the Out port on the board and the In port on the Eclipse. Power
will be remotely supplied to the MIDI pedal board.
L) Foot Pedal Jacks 1 & 2
Stereo 1/4-inch connectors. The sleeve is ground reference, the ring is a +5 volt (source),
and the tip is an analog signal between 0 to 5 volts input to the Eclipse. Connect either foot
switches, foot pedals, or control voltage sources to these inputs to modulate parameters or
to trigger events (including remote program loads, see page 46).

At any given time, the Eclipse is doing a whole bunch of "stuff." Unfortunately, you can't look at all that
"stuff" in one fell swoop.
display where you really only need one!
We call them "areas." Inside each area are parameters that can be selected by using the "soft keys" below
the display. Once a parameter is selected, you can alter its value with the knob or the keypad. Let's look at
this in a little more depth, shall we?
Each area has a dedicated key and an LED that illuminates when you're "in" that area. For example, press-
ing the key illuminates its LED and changes the display to show the

Eclipse User Manual
The Eclipse sends MIDI messages to other devices via the Out port.
MIDI messages are also sent out the serial port if it is "enabled."
Any MIDI information received at the MIDI In port is echoed di-
rectly to the MIDI Thru port regardless of the Eclipse's configura-
tion
(as long as the Eclipse is powered up)
With the Memory card removed, the
MIDI message is received at the MIDI In port. Note: If the serial port is "enabled" and MIDI
is "enabled," a command received over either the serial port or the MIDI In port causes the port
not receiving the command to be ignored until the command is complete.

Getting Around and Altering Parameters

We could have arranged things otherwise, but we figured you'd rather not devote twelve rack spaces to the Eclipse
As a compromise, we've created a number of "windows" on its inner-workings.
