Program Operations - Load, Save, Remove, etc.
Some care is required when saving programs to avoid overwriting precious material, but surgical correctness is not necessary …
Sorting and Loading Programs
The Eclipse comes with a wealth of factory programs (program numbers 100 – 499). In addition, you can
save up to one hundred programs in internal memory (numbers 0 – 99), and up to five hundred programs
on a memory card (numbers 500 – 999). That’s a lot of programs! Fortunately, we’ve devised a clever way of
organizing all of those programs so that you can find the program you need in just a moment’s time. It
works like this: all of those programs that were created for guitar are “flagged” as such, all those that were
created for vocals are flagged as such, all those that were created for keyboard are flagged as such, and so
on. Furthermore, all those programs that are delays are flagged as such, all those that are pitch shifters are
flagged as such, all those that are reverbs are flagged as such, and so on. Before you load a program you can
sort all of the programs based on their “source” (
Guitar, Vocals, Drums, etc.) or their “effects type”
(
Pitch, Reverb, Delay, etc.) in addition to their program number or alphabetical order. When you save or
update a program, you have the opportunity to flag the program as you see fit. Now on to the specifics…
Press
PROGRAM CRITERIA to select how the programs are sorted.
Use
PROGRAM CRITERIA (SEARCH B) to collect programs into groups.
Your choices are:
All Lumps all the programs into one big group.
Source Collects the programs based on what instrument or input (a.k.a. source) they were created to
effect (e.g., Guitar, Vocals, Drums, etc.).
Effect Collects the programs based on their underlying effects type (e.g., EQ, Dynamics, Delay,
etc.).
Src&Effects Collects the programs by both their source and effects type.
User Grp
Collects the programs as they were saved in the ten user groups. ! for information regarding User
Groups, see page 28
Use PROGRAM CRITERIA (SORT BY) to sort programs either numerically
(Number) or alphabetically (Name) within each collection.
Use
PROGRAM CRITERIA (LOCATION) to limit displayed programs to In-
ternal memory or Card memory. Alternatively, you can display All the
programs, regardless of their location.
Now that you’ve selected your
CRITERIA, go back to the first PROGRAM page. Use the < "
""
" > and < !
!!
! > soft
keys to jump between “collections.” For example, if you set
PROGRAM CRITERIA (SEARCH B) to Effect,
pressing < !
!!
! > scrolls through such collections as Delay, Mod, Multi, Eq, and so on. Select programs
within a collection by turning the knob, by pressing the increment/decrement keys, or by entering the pro-
gram number you want followed by ENT. When you find the program you want, press <LOAD>.
During the brief period when one program is unloading and the other is
loading, no effect will be heard
(unless both the outgoing and the loading programs are routed
for crossfade, as is often the case!)
. Normally, the Eclipse will simply mute the outputs
during this interval so that the input to the unit is heard at its output. How-
