Understanding the Display and Soft Keys
The Bottom Line of the Display
The display shows two lines of text. The top line is typically dependent on
the bottom line, so let’s talk about the bottom line first. As you can see
from the screen to the right, there are (typically) four bracketed phrases
along the bottom.
Press the LEVELS key on your Eclipse until you see the same screen. Press-
ing the soft key below a bracketed phrase highlights that phrase and allows
you to adjust the parameter associated with that phrase. From now on, we’ll
just treat those phrases as if they were actually the soft key like so: “press
{IN GAIN}.”
Pressing
{IN GAIN} results in the screen to the right (try it!).
Notice that the top line contains the parameter associated with {IN GAIN}.
Turning the knob or using the keypad (with the
ENT key) alters that pa-
rameter (try it!). …but we’re getting ahead of ourselves. There are four
kinds of brackets around soft keys, and each denotes something different.
{curly braces}
are for “ganged” parameters. Pressing the soft key more
than once cycles through the gang. First the parameters are
linked, then just one is adjustable, then just the other is ad-
justable, then both are linked again, and so on. Try this on
LEVELS {IN GAIN} i.e., the
{IN GAIN}
soft key in the LEVELS area.
<angled brackets>
indicate that pressing the soft key will perform an action,
such as triggering an LFO. Here, pressing PARAMETER
<FXA: ON>
bypasses effects block A. Then pressing
PARAMETER <FXA:OFF> “un-bypasses” it.
sub-menu
indicates that more soft keys “hide” beneath this one.
Pressing a sub-menu changes the screen entirely as differ-
ent soft keys are displayed.
(A menu is a list of choices (as in a restaurant), so a sub-menu is a menu one level down.)
You know you’re a level down because a little triangle appears in the lower right corner of the
screen. To come “back up,” press the area key for the area you’re in (in this example, we’d press
LEVELS). Try this on LEVELS METER.
