JLCooper Eclipse Ethernet 2.6 for OSX - Manual (Page 25)

Introduction to the Eclipse Ethernet Software
The Eclipse Software extends the Eclipse hardware’s ability to control various
applications running on your Macintosh™. It does this by communicating with
applications via MIDI, Ethernet and other messaging protocols built into the Mac OS. It
can also simulate mouse clicking and dragging, keystrokes and can even emulate other
control surfaces if necessary.
Keysets
The Eclipse software uses “keysets” which are sets of various actions that are taken
when Eclipse controls are pressed or turned. Different keysets can be applied to
different applications, and the Eclipse will choose the correct keyset for whichever
application is in the foreground. If no keyset has been created for the current foreground
application, the Eclipse will use a built in keyset called the “Default” keyset.
To create or edit Eclipse keysets, open the application, “Eclipse Ethernet 2.1”. To
create a new keyset, choose New Keyset in the File menu and navigate to the
application that will use the new keyset. You can also use Import Keyset from the File
Menu to get an existing keyset. Keysets that ship with the Eclipse are located at
/
Applications/Eclipse Ethernet Software/keysets/. You only need to use
New Keyset or Import Keyset once for a given application. After that, keysets are
stored with the Eclipse software’s preferences.
Each application’s keyset can have up to 4 layers, thus quadrupling the number of
physical controls on the Eclipse. To choose which layer to edit, click on one of the Layer
buttons at the bottom of the main window.
You can use Export Keyset from the File Menu to save a copy of a keyset so it can be
transported to another Mac or archived for safekeeping. You don’t need to use Export in
your daily use of the Eclipse. As previously pointed out, your changes are added to the
Eclipse software’s preferences file automatically.
