Eclipse + Midi program changes not working

[pabloegidoserrano]

Hi, I’m a new user of Eventide Eclipse and I have to say that the sounds have blown me away.
But although I am happy with the sound of the unit I have not been able to get the unit to work to change presets remotely and it has taken me quite a few days of frustration. I don’t know what else to do, because I mainly want to use the unit for live performances. Controlled by a Cymatic LP16 controller, just as I was successfully using my previous units. (lexicon, tc electronic, etc…)
I have followed the steps in the instructions. I have chosen the correct MIDI channel on all units, I have tried all MIDI maps, I have tried MIDI continuous controller (CC) options and nothing has worked. I’ve tried sending MIDI program changes from Logic Pro, from the Cymatic LP16 directly and through my MIDI interface. I could see that all the devices were sending MIDI information correctly but my Eclipse was not receiving any messages.
What can I do?
Thanks

Hi there,

Please try the following:

• Press SETUP twice to go to page 2 of the setup menu.
• Confirm that the Eclipse MIDI channel is correct (or select OMNI)
• Press the MIDIMODE soft key and confirm Prog Change is ON
• This should be enough settings for the Eclipse to receive PC messages and you should see a dialog on the screen when it is loading a new preset
• You can go to SETUP page 3 > Maps to edit the PC maps, and try Map 1 and reset to default if you still have issues

See page 29 of the user manual – https://s3.amazonaws.com/com.eventide.downloads/Product+Manuals/EclipseUserManual.pdf
