For my own use I think it colors the sound too much. Or should I rather say that I found it difficult to play through the unit without sounding like some certain established "Eclipse musicians". It's also too big and heavy for my taste. One function that interested me was the ability to program the harmonizer to add not a parallel line but notes according to a scale that you define in the patch. But after trying this I found it too much "pre configured" for my taste. I prefer creating a general feel of some scale and harmony by rate shifting and overdubbing in Mobius. That way you can do whatever you want in a second, not having to rely on which scale presets you have prepared in the box. The type of sounds patches I found the Eclipse very good at are those where an LFO manipulates a filter cutoff in sync with the tempo. You can also program it to do those filter burps as accellerandi or ritardandi and, if you want, partly dependent on input level (how hard you attack the notes). > Regarding Aarset - his > releaseing a new cd in september. That's great news! I didn't know that.
