Parameters
Factory programs ship with their most salient parameters “linked” to the HOT KEYS area. So, if you’re only
doing some “light tweaking,” stick to the
HOT KEYS area - you need not venture into the PARAMETER area
at all.
The
PARAMETER area gets you “inside” a program, so to speak. In it, you can change the underlying algo-
rithms loaded into the effects blocks, the routing between the effects blocks, or the parameters of the
underlying algorithms themselves.
Programs 100 through 199 comprise the Eclipse’s set of “algorithms” (see
the separately provided “Eclipse Algorithms” document for details)
. Programs 200 through 499
are “tweaks” and combinations of these elemental algorithms. Press the
PARAMETER key to see what algorithm or algorithms a given program is
“built” on. To the right, we see that the
fm modfilter/pan algorithm is
running on effects block A (
FXA) and that the dual modfilters algorithm
is running on effects block B (
FXB). Because the dual modfilters algo-
rithm is running on
FXB, you would press <EDIT FXB> to access all of its
parameters. However, as we’ve said before, the
HOT KEYS area will “link”
to a program’s most important parameters.
All of the changes that you make in the
HOT KEYS or PARAMETER areas are saved and loaded with a pro-
gram in the
PROGRAM area. Well, almost all – see Bypassing Effects Blocks on page 36.
Hot Keys
OK, the Eclipse has a cute little screen and sometimes you have to dig to get to the parameter you want to
adjust. That can be a drag, especially if the parameter is one that you access often. The
HOT KEYS area was
created to improve this situation. Here’s the idea - pick a program parameter that you want to access quickly
and assign it to the
HOT KEYS area. Then next time instead of digging, you just go to the HOT KEYS area to
access that parameter
(you can still dig if you want to, however, the parameter will always exist in its original position). You can assign
any program parameter in the Eclipse to a hot key, and the factory presets ship with their most vital parame-
ters linked to hot keys.
You can view
HOT KEYS in the standard 1 Parameter per page mode or
you can select
4 Parameter mode under SETUP MODES (DISPMODE) as
shown to the right.
Up to eight hot keys can be assigned for a given program, and the assign-
ments will be saved or updated with the currently loaded program. When
you load a new program, the assignments saved with the new program will
populate the HOT KEYS area; it doesn’t matter if the assignments are to
program-specific parameters (such as
PARAMETER page 2 (ROUTING)) or
to “global” parameters (such as SETUP DISPLAY (BRIGHT)).
Assigning Hot Keys
Let’s assign a hot key to {IN GAIN} in the LEVELS area. Get to the first
page of the
LEVELS area by pressing the LEVELS key.
Next, press and hold the
{IN GAIN} soft key.
