Press
<ASSIGN>
to actually assign it. If the hot keys “slot” you chose
was unoccupied, the Eclipse will assign the hot key without hesitation.
However, 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
rename
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. Blank spaces are not allowed in Hotkey names.
Eclipse will automatically replace all blank spaces with ‘_’ (underline)
characters.

see page 32 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 Al-
gorithms” 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
resonance independently, you’ll usually want to change them simultane-
ously.
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
absolute delay time.
