(PRES) If this parameter is set to

When using a MIDI keyboard to play a synthesizer program in the Eclipse, this parameter

(SYS EXC) Setting this parameter to
select a Device ID. All system exclusive messages to and from this Eclipse will have this

Device ID. If you're using more than one Eclipse, you can set each one's Device ID to a dif-
ferent value. Doing so would let them share a common MIDI chain, while allowing system
exclusive messages to be sent to each specific Eclipse. Normally, the Device ID is left at
the factory default. You can control one Eclipse from another by matching their Device IDs.
(SEQ OUT) If set to
message is sent out the MIDI port as a system exclusive message. By recording parameter
changes to a MIDI sequencer, you can automate your mix-downs. Simply play back the re-
corded MIDI sequence at the Eclipse's MIDI input, and you will see the changes you re-
corded "played" by the sequencer (assuming MIDI is enabled and the Device ID matches
that of the message).
This feature can also be used to make one Eclipse control another one – any parameter
change made to the Eclipse sending the sequence will also be made to the Eclipse receiving
this signal.
Be warned however, that if you manage to configure the MIDI connections between your
various pieces of equipment such that the "system exclusive, sequence out" MIDI messages
of the Eclipse loop back into the same Eclipse without delay, this will create a situation simi-
lar to acoustic feedback and digital demons will unleash a raging fury inside your helpless
Eclipse. So make sure that doesn't happen! If you aren't actively using the sequence out fea-
ture, it's wise to leave it

That's it for MIDI globals. The
With the Memory card removed, the
"enabled," messages sent out the MIDI Out port are also sent out the serial port. Note: If the serial port is "enabled" and MIDI is "enabled," a com-
mand 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.

The Rear Panel Pedal Jacks

Each foot pedal jack accepts a stereo ("tip-ring-sleeve") 1/4-inch connec-
tor. Between the ring and sleeve is a fixed 5 volts provided by the Eclipse.
The foot pedal that is hooked up to the jack and returned between the tip
and the sleeve alters that voltage.
calibrate the foot pedal jacks for the particular foot pedals you are using.
