some Q:s regarding eclipse!

midihooker:

i like to do midi control with control change messages via DAW and as i understand this is easier with eclipse compared to h8000

Slightly easier, but not a big difference.

midihooker:

so when doing parameter changes with eclipse from DAW, is it glitch free?

It depends on the preset and the parameter. The more common ones are smoothed, but not all.

midihooker:

is there any problem using spdif in/out from DAW to soundcard to eclipse and back?

No problem at 44.1 or 48k. We don't recommend the use of S/PDIF at higher sample rates.

midihooker:

i also like to use the vocoder thing, is the ecplise capable of the same kind of vocoder as h8000?

They are different machines so do not have the same presets. The Eclipse has some vocoder functions.

midihooker:

what about latecy when using spdif

None especially – anything the Eclipse introduces will be probably much less that that in your DAW.

Delay changes cannot easily be smoothed, as any delay change results in clicks or pitch changes.

To smooth a delay change you really need two delays set to the before and after values, and to crossfade between them to give the delay change. You could write a preset to do this on H8000 (skill and experience required !!) but you will understand why this feature is not present on all Eclipse presets.

midihooker:

it works for the H7600 also right?

right.

midihooker:

also can i listen to the changes while i make presets in VSIG

You make the preset in vsig then download it to the unit. Then, you can listen to it. It's not entirely interactive, more of a two stage process.

midihooker:

is there a wy to download it before i make purchased a unit?

Yes. You should be able to download it from the Web Site. Be aware that there is a bit of a learning curve – it's not for everybody.

If you just want to add MIDI CC control to a parameter, you can do this on the unit.

The details vary with the unit (see User Manual) but essentially you select the parameter, press and hold a key, and then either enter the MIDI values or use the MIDI Capture feature.
