through them in a number of useful ways. Press

As soon as you load a program, you'll be taken to the
important parameters in said program. Most parameter types are self-explanatory, and there is a nice ex-
planation of several of the more opaque parameter types on page 34. For now, we'll explain the whole
concept of the tempo and synchronized parameters.

Tempo

The Eclipse's tempo feature is your ticket to a good time... Almost all the time-based parameters (LFO
rates, delay times, etc.) in the Eclipse are synchronized to its tempo. Consequently, setting the Eclipse's
tempo to the tempo of the material you're working with makes for very useful effecting. The tempo can
be set five ways:
Tap the tap key

You can adjust
how many taps the Eclipse will consider in determining the
tempo you tap.

TEMPO (TEMPO)
can enter a number with greater precision than the Eclipse
will display. For instance, if you enter a tempo of 124.4
bpm (beats per minute), the display will only read
the actual tempo will be 124.4.
Foot Switch Control
SETUP TEMPO (TAP SRC)

control the tempo from the rear panel foot switch jacks.
While not very accurate, this can still be useful because so
many of the Eclipse's parameters are controlled by the
tempo.
