Storing And Loading Setups - Eventide Eclipse User Manual

Storing and Loading Setups

The Eclipse's global configuration or "setup" can be saved internally in much the same way as a user preset.
This "setup" consists of all the machine settings except for the preset, its parameters and related settings.
This allows you to get back speedily to a particular past configuration without endless button pushing.
To get to the Setup load and save area, press and hold the key
PROGRAM
for about a second. The program LED indicator will flash and you will see
a display similar to that of the Program screen. Not surprisingly, it works in much the same way, so we need
not repeat the description. The main difference is the lack of Source or Effect Type flags.
see page 28 for information on Program Operations - Load, Save, Remove, etc.
On the screen above, the observant reader will note that the displayed setup is [000] Factory Init . This
setup contains the factory default settings, and can be loaded to restore the machine to the state at which it
left the factory. This setup cannot be deleted or updated, so don't try ...
It is usually wise to reload the factory settings after performing a software upgrade, or in the event of serious
machine misbehavior.
You can also dump setup information to an external storage device and then upload the same information
later.
see page 50
Be aware that saved setups are tagged with the version of software under which they are saved – this is be-
cause the contents of a setup will vary with different software versions. If you upgrade your Eclipse's soft-
ware to a later version, any previously saved setups will give a warning message when you try to reload them.
Usually, reloading them will not cause problems. If all seems OK, update the setups that you need and the
warning messages will magically disappear. Now would be a good time to delete any setups that you are not
currently using. We also recommend making a backup of your setups with the new software version, to ei-
ther a memory card or via a sysex dump.
