Use (HOT KEY) to select to which hot key “slot” you’d like to assign {IN
GAIN}
.
Press
<ASSIGN> to actually assign it. If the hot keys “slot” you chose was
unoccupied, the Eclipse will assign the hot key without hesitation. How-
ever, if the slot you chose was occupied, the Eclipse will verify that you
would like to replace the old hot key with the new one.
OK, while that was instructive, you probably won’t assign global parameters (such as
{IN GAIN}) to the HOT
KEYS
area too often. Instead, you’ll usually assign program parameters.
Renaming Hot Keys
To rename an existing hot key, press and hold the hot key you want to re-
name in the
HOT KEYS area. A <NAME> soft key appears that, if pressed,
allows you to change the name of the hot key. Hit the
HOT KEYS key to
finish.
! see page 29 to learn how to name things
Deleting Hot Keys
To delete a hot key assignment, either overwrite the assignment with a
new hot key (as described above) or press and hold the hot key you want
to delete in the HOT KEYS area. A <REMOVE> soft key appears that, if
pressed, deletes the hot key in question. The Eclipse makes sure you really
want to go through with it…
Altering Parameters in the PARAMETER Area
While most factory programs link to their most important parameters in
the
HOT KEYS area, those same parameters and many more are left to
tinker with in the
PARAMETER area. Press PARAMETER <EDIT FXA> or
<EDIT FXB> depending on which effects block holds the parameters you
wish to tweak.
Hey! Many programs only make use of one of effects block A (FXA), in
which case you can only edit
PARAMETER <EDIT FXA>.
We’d like to take you through all of the myriad parameters you’ll encounter under
<EDIT FXA> or <EDIT
FXB>
, but there are too many and they are too varied. Instead, we’ll make a few general comments. For
more “algorithm-specific” comments and algorithm flow charts, see the separately provided “Eclipse Algo-
rithms” document.
Master Parameters: M_LEVEL, M_DELAY, M_FBACK, etc.
Many algorithms have multiple implementations of the same sort of pa-
rameter. For example, the algorithm
dual filters has two filters, one for
each channel. While you can change each filter’s cutoff frequency and reso-
nance independently, you’ll usually want to change them simultaneously.
Similarly, the algorithm
m_pandelays has four delays. You’ll often want
to alter their delay times relatively by scaling each delay time by some amount.
The inconvenient alternative is to go into each delay and change its delay time absolutely.
