K) Remote Power In
Power supplied at this jack is sent "down" the MIDI In port's pins 6 and 7. Use a suitable
MIDI pedal board and connect its "wall wart" (external power supply) to this jack. Use a
"7 pin" MIDI cable between the Out port on the board and the In port on the Eclipse.
Power will be remotely supplied to the MIDI pedal board.
L) Foot Pedal Jacks 1 & 2
Stereo 1/4-inch connectors. The sleeve is ground reference, the ring is a +5 volt (source),
and the tip is an analog signal between 0 to 5 volts input to the Eclipse. Connect either foot
switches, foot pedals, or control voltage sources to these inputs to modulate parameters or
to trigger events (including remote program loads, see page 48).

by using the "soft keys" below the display. Once a parameter is selected, you can alter its value with the
knob or the keypad. Let's look at this in a little more depth, shall we?
Each area has a dedicated key and an LED that illuminates when you're "in" that area. For example,

Eclipse User Manual
Eclipse by means of a single cable that supplies power as well as a communi-
cation path. A normal "5 pin" MIDI cable can be used as a standard MIDI in-
put.
The Eclipse sends MIDI messages to other devices via the Out port.
sages are also sent out the serial port if it is "enabled."
Any MIDI information received at the MIDI In port is echoed directly to the
MIDI Thru port regardless of the Eclipse's configuration (as long as the
Eclipse is powered up).
With the Memory card removed, the
MIDI message is received at the MIDI In port. Note: If the serial port is "enabled" and MIDI
is "enabled," a command 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.
