The Hows and Whys of This Manual
Of course you have more exiting things to do than to read this manual. For one thing, you have Eventide’s
fabulous new Eclipse Harmonizer brand processor waiting to effect all those sounds so badly in need of
effecting. While the Eclipse is engineered for intuitive, user-friendly operation, reading this manual, either
in part or in whole, will help clarify and illuminate its vast array of powerful features. Here’s how we’ve
made that as painless a process as possible:
 The Overview and Quickstart section will get you up and running fast, with references to the more in-
depth discussions contained in the Operation section. If you’re really in a hurry, skip to the tutorial on
page 16...
 The Operation section will answer all of your in-depth questions with a complete, tedium-free discus-
sion of all of the Eclipse’s potent features.
 The Table of Contents and Index will direct you to topics of interest with dispatch.
There is only one convention employed in the manual that might need explaining. We’ll write things like:
The display brightness is determined by SETUP page 2 DISP (BRIGHT). Its values range
from 0 (the dimmest) to 15 (the brightest).
To change the brightness, you would first press the SETUP key. Notice
that the font (character style) used for the word “SETUP” looks some-
thing like the font on the faceplate of your Eclipse.
Because it says “page 2,” you’d press the SETUP key again to get to
“page 2.” Notice the little “2” in the lower right corner. Notice that this
refers to screen page 2, not User Manual page 2 !
Then you would press the soft key below the phrase DISP. Again, notice
that the font looks (something) like the font on the display.
Then you would press the soft key under (BRIGHT).
Finally, you would spin the knob to select a brightness between 0 and
15.
With that said, go read… then play… then read some more… then play
