Setting The Trigger Switch Mode; Midi Setup - Eventide Eclipse User Manual

(PGM -) Allows you to select a foot pedal or a MIDI source to load the next lowest program. Of
course, this can be set to

Setting the Trigger Switch Mode

The dedicated external controllers are trigger type controls – that is, they do
not have a value themselves, but instead cause an event to occur when the
appropriate criteria is satisfied by the modulation source's value.
Normally, trigger events occur when the modulation source transitions
from a value less than 50% to a value more than 50%. This works very well
for remote controllers with momentary type switches. However, for a remote
controller with a latching (on/off) switch, it is desireable for a trigger event
to occur when the modulation source transitions 50% in either direction.
The (TRIGMODE) parameter accommodates both of these switch types using
one of two settings:
Causes the trigger event (i.e. Bypass, PGM+, or PGM-) to occur each time the modulation
Momentary
sources transitions from a value below 50% to a value at or above 50%. Useful for remote
sources that use momentary switches.
On/Off Causes the trigger event to occur each time the modulation source transitions through 50%
from either direction. Recommended for modulation sources that use latching (on/off) type
switches.
In the Eclipse, MIDI can be used:
• with programs that explicitly call for some sort of "external" controller. For example, a program called
" " might call for MIDI notes to adjust the amount of pitch shifting that is applied to an
MidiHarmony
audio signal.
• to remote control almost any parameter in the Eclipse (including input and output levels) via external
controllers.
see page 40
• to change programs via MIDI program change messages.
• to "dump" information from one Eclipse to another or to an external storage device.
Several MIDI global parameters bear on all of the above uses of MIDI func-
tion. These parameters are found under
each parameter in turn, shall we?
