9) Knob Turning the knob changes parameter values.

10) Meter Displays the signal level at various points throughout the

signal path. It’s useful both for optimizing sound quality

(you always want a high signal short of clipping) and for

troubleshooting. You can alter the point in the signal flow

at which the meter is “inserted” by pressing

LEVELS meter

(source).  see page 21

11) OVERLOAD

his LED lights to let you know that the signal being

monitored by the meter (see above) has clipped (over-

loaded). Clear the OVERLOAD LED at LEVELS meter <OL

CLEAR>. This LED is cleared automatically when a new

program is loaded.

12) Rate & Source

The LED that is illuminated tells you the rate at which the Eclipse is sampling. The

EXT

LED indicates that the Eclipse is taking its clock from the digital device connected to the

Eclipse’s digital input.

 see page 25

13) TAP Press the key once to check the current tempo or press it rhythmically to change the tempo.

Many of the Eclipse’s time-based parameters will automatically synchronize to the tempo.

 To define the tempo see page 15. To learn about parameters that synchronize to the tempo, see page 35.

14) PARAMETER

Press this key to access all the program parameters – those found in the simpler HOT KEYS

area and many more! Change a program’s underlying algorithm, change the routing be-

tween effects blocks, or change the parameters of the underlying algorithms themselves.

 see page 33

You can alter the program-independent “modulation block” under this key as well.

 see page 43

15) BYPASS Press this key to bypass the effects. This key can be made

to bypass the entire unit, just the DSP, or it can mute the

Eclipse, depending on SETUP MODES (BYPASS).

 see page 24 for more on Bypassing and Muting

16) MEMORY CARD

Insert a CompactFlash card into this slot to save and load programs. Remove the card by

pulling it out (but be sure the BUSY light isn’t illuminated when you do so!).  see pages 20 ,54

and 57

17) BUSY This LED illuminates when data is being written to or read from the memory card. If no

memory card is inserted, BUSY illuminates when MIDI or serial data is transferred to or

from the Eclipse. This can be a handy troubleshooting tool!

18)

EDITED This LED illuminates when you’ve made changes to a program as a reminder to consider

updating the program before loading another one. If you do not update, you’ll lose any

changes next time you load the program.
