Setting Up the Modulation Block
The Modulation Block
Let it be said: The modulation block is totally cool. It’s a collection of
modules residing inside the Eclipse waiting to be patched to effects
parameters. The modulation block exists at
PARAMETER
page 2
<EDIT
MOD>
.
Changes made to the modulation block are normally saved or loaded
with programs. This can be changed by going to
SETUP
page 1
<modes>
and changing
(ModBlock)
from
Prog
to
Global
. If set to
Global
, the
modulation block will not change as programs are loaded.
Below we’ll examine each menu page in the modulation block that isn’t described elsewhere in this man-
ual.
TTIME and RETRIG are discussed on pages 35 and 36, respectively
LFO#1
accesses parameters for the modulation block LFO. The parameters are analogous to those found
in program-specific LFOs as discussed on page 36.
FOLLOW#1
accesses parameters for the modulation
block envelope follower. The parameters are analogous to those found in program-specific envelope fol-
lowers as discussed on page 36.

ADSR#1
accesses parameters for the
modulation block ADSR (attack, decay, sustain, and release). The
ADSR is triggered by the level of the input audio and generates an enve-
lope determined by the
(ATTACK)
,
(DECAY)
,
(SUSTAIN)
,
(RELEASE)
,
(DLEVEL)
, and
(SLEVEL)
as shown in the picture. The SUSTAIN level is only held while the trigger is ac-
tive (above the SENS level).
(ADSR)
determines which input will trigger the ADSR.
(SENS)
determines how loud the trigger needs to
be in order to “fire,” and
(RETRIG)
determines how long the trigger will wait after firing to fire again.
Higher values of
(F ATTACK)
and
(F DECAY)
smooth out the trigger signal.

PARAMS
accesses four “generic”
parameters:
(VALUE1)
,
(VALUE2)
,
(VALUE3)
, and
(VALUE4)
. If you link
several program-parameters to one of these “generic” parameters, you can
alter all of the program-parameters at once just by altering the one “ge-
neric” parameter. All four values range from 0 to 100%, but
(VALUE3)
and
(VALUE4)
offer greater “resolution” with two decimal spaces.
