several program-parameters to one of these "generic" parameters, you can

alter all of the program-parameters at once just by altering the one "ge-

neric" parameter. All four values range from 0 to 100%, but

offer greater "resolution" with two decimal spaces.

On Eclipse, almost everything can be modulated, and almost everything can be a modulation source. For ex-

ample, a hot key can be used to modulate other parameters, but it can itself be modulated. A powerful dem-

onstration of this is to load or create a dual-effect program. Add a hotkey to control the Wet/Dry mix of

FXA, and use this as a modulation source for the Wet/Dry mix of FxB. Set the scale of this modulation to -

100%. Then you have a single knob that will blend the amount of each effect, giving a 'morph'-like control.

Then, modulate this knob with, say, an LFO...

It is important to note the distinction between modulating a hot key and modulating the parameter to which

the hot keys is assigned – this is not the same thing.
