Eclipse User Manual
If the
(RATE)
is changed either “manually” or via a tempo update, an LFO will (of course) alter its rate.
The old rate is crossfaded to the new rate. The length of the crossfade is determined by
(RETRIG)
as a per-
centage of the old rate. Thus, a value of
100%
means that the crossfade will be complete in one cycle of
the old rate, and 0% means a rate change will take effect immediately.
When you tap in a new tempo with the
TAP
key or start an external sequence that’s connected to the
Eclipse, the LFOs will “start over.” You determine
where
in the waveform the LFO starts with the
(ANGLE)
parameter. Your choices are
–180 deg
to
180 deg
. When the LFO starts over, it crossfades
from the old position to the new position by an amount determined by
(RETRIG)
described above.
In addition to restarting when you tap in a new tempo with the
TAP
key
or start an external sequence that’s connected to the Eclipse, you can
cause the LFOs to re-synchronize every beat for perfectly timed effects.
Simply turn

) and as
such is “global” in scope (its status isn’t saved or loaded with programs).
Further, you can have the LFOs “start over” when the input audio
crosses a given threshold. Select which input causes them to “start over”

Sends and “Manual” Parameters
Littered throughout the parameter pages are
(SEND)
and
(MANUAL_P)
soft keys. Both affect the signal level sent into the algorithm. While
handy in their own right, they truly shine when used in conjunction with
MIDI foot controllers, MIDI sequencers, or the back panel foot pedal
jacks. Simply “patch” them to a handy external modulator (see page 40)
and you can enjoy “un-zippered” send level control.
Want the last words of a desperate singer to delay off into oblivion? “Patch” a MIDI sequencer to the
(SEND)
of a fat delay and crank it from
0%
to
100%
on the phrase, “I’ll love you forever…” Works well
in live situations, too.
If you investigate the separately provided “Eclipse Algorithms” document, you’ll notice most algorithms
have an “S” somewhere in their signal path. That’s the point at which the
(SEND)
or
(MANUAL_P)
does
its business.
Routing and Levels between Effects Blocks
You have control over the routing between the two effects blocks (
FXA
and
FXB
), the wet/dry ratio of each
effects block, and the output level of each effects block. These parameters are located on the second page
of the
PARAMETER
area. Any changes you make here will be saved when you save or update a program.
These parameters exist to tweak the levels and interaction between the effects blocks to achieve a desired
overall effect.
Do not
use these parameters to adjust the level of the Eclipse relative to the rest of your
studio or rack – instead use the parameters found in the
LEVELS
area
