As soon as you load a program, you'll be taken to the
important parameters in said program. Most parameter types are self-explanatory, and there is a nice expla-
nation of several of the more opaque parameter types on page 34. For now, we'll explain the whole concept
of the tempo and synchronized parameters.

Tempo

The Eclipse's tempo feature is your ticket to a good time... Almost all the time-based parameters (LFO
rates, delay times, etc.) in the Eclipse are synchronized to its tempo. Consequently, setting the Eclipse's
tempo to the tempo of the material you're working with makes for very useful effecting. The tempo can be
set five ways:
Tap the tap key
With SETUP TEMPO (TAP SRC)
Internal
You can adjust
how many taps the Eclipse will consider in determining the
tempo you tap.

TEMPO (TEMPO)
you can enter a number with greater precision than the
Eclipse will display. For instance, if you enter a tempo of
124.4 bpm (beats per minute), the display will only read
, but the actual tempo will be 124.4.

Foot Switch Control
Set SETUP TEMPO (TAP SRC)
control the tempo from the rear panel foot switch jacks.
While not very accurate, this can still be useful because so
many of the Eclipse's parameters are controlled by the
tempo.
