Midi Setup - Eventide Eclipse User Manual

In the Eclipse, MIDI can be used:
 with programs that explicitly call for some sort of "external" controller. For example, a program

to an audio signal.
 to remote control almost any parameter in the Eclipse (including input and output levels) via external

 to change programs via MIDI program change messages.
 to "dump" information from one Eclipse to another or to an external storage device.
Several MIDI global parameters bear on all of the above uses of MIDI
function. These parameters are found under
