[. . . ] Numbers 100 through 199 are reserved for factory programs that make direct use of the Eclipse's underlying algorithms, and numbers 200 through 499 are reserved for more complex factory programs. Saving Programs To save a program, press PROGRAM page 2 SAVE AS. Next, use PROGRAM page 2 SAVE (NUMBER) to select a number to store the program at. . . Once you've entered a satisfactory name, press the PROGRAM key again to "jump back up a level. " see page 32 to learn how to name things To set "flags" so that your program can be intelligently sorted as described above, press PROGRAM page 2 SAVE DBASE. There are three databases that you can flag your program in: (USERGRP) (see below), (SOURCE), or (EFFECT). Select a database by pressing its soft key, then use the knob to select a category within the database (e. g. , (SOURCE) Special FX). Then use the <TOGGLE> soft key to "flag" a category, that is, to switch the flag from No to Yes. You can also use the <TOGGLE> soft key to "un-flag" a category. Once all the correct flags are flagged, press the PROGRAM key to "jump back up a level. " If you're happy with the program number, the name, and the database flags, press <SAVE> to commit the program to memory. If the (NUMBER) you selected above was empty, the Eclipse will save the program without hesitating. If, on the other hand, the (NUMBER) you chose was already occupied, the Eclipse will verify that you want to destroy the original occupant with an update or an overwrite. Select <YES> and the original occupant will disintegrate into digital dust. Updating Programs If you make changes to a program that you've already saved, you can store those changes without messing around with numbers, names, and flags (this is like the "save" command on a computer, as opposed to the "save as" command). A dialog box pops up that asks if you really want to update the program. Press <YES> if you do; press <NO> if you don't. Eclipse User Manual Page 30 of 64 Release 3. 000 Eclipse User Manual Comparing the Current Program with the Saved Program Before updating your program, you may wish to do a comparison between the current, edited program, and the previously saved version. Press <COMPARE> to toggle between the saved version of the preset and the edited version. A PROGRAM ­ COMPARE message will flash on the screen to indicate that you are listening to the saved version of the preset (instead of the current, edited version). User Groups There are ten "user groups" available for your own organizational purposes. When you save a program, you can flag it (PROGRAM page 2 SAVE DBASE (USERGRP)) as being in one or more of these banks so that when you choose User Grp under PROGRAM CRITERIA (SEARCH B), your saved programs are organized as you see fit. see page 32 to learn how to name things Removing Programs Unfortunately, programs take up space. Eventually you'll find that you don't use some of the programs that you used to use. Here we've loaded "Ringdelays. " Next, press PROGRAM page 2 <REMOVE>. To avoid accidents, Eclipse will want to be sure that you are sure before removing a possibly important program. We don't even give you the option . . . Removing ALL Your Saved Programs You can remove all your internal programs in one fell swoop by pressing SETUP page 3 UTILITY page 2 <CLEAR> <YES>. This will not affect programs saved on the memory card. Checking free space in internal memory or a card To find out how much of the internal memory has been used (or is free), go to SETUP page 3 UTILITY (FREE MEM).
