Tutorial 2: Creating a Program "from Scratch" and Assigning a Hot Key

A bit of background: all of the Eclipse's programs are built on a hundred or so "algorithms." A single
program can contain one or two algorithms connected in series, parallel, or variations thereof. All of these
raw algorithms are stored in factory programs 100 through 499 and are diagrammed in the separately pro-
vided "Eclipse Algorithm" document. The process of creating a program "from scratch" involves "steal-
ing" an algorithm and its associated parameter settings from an existing program.

Let's make a phaser that pans, shall we? First, we need to "steal" the
phaser algorithm from an existing program. Press

If used more than one algorithm, we could use the
soft key to select which algorithm we'd like to "steal." But it doesn't...
