Audio Damage Eos - Manual (Page 13)

frozen, somewhat like a looped sample. When you turn the infinite button off, the usual decay time is restored
and the reverb fades out normally. Obviously the infinite control is suited to creating unusual effects and is
not likely to be something you use every day (unless, of course, creating unusual effects is your daily work).
Eos will process any signals arriving at its inputs when infinite is turned on. This means that the infinite mode
works best with very sparse source material. As long as infinite is on, new signals will be added to the sounds
circulating in the reverb, building up and eventually becoming loud and distorted. Whether or not this is useful
to you is your choice; we just wanted to warn you of the hazard.
MIDI Controllers
Eos responds to MIDI continuous controller messages. You can use hardware MIDI controllers, such as MIDI
slider boxes or the knobs found on some MIDI keyboards, to adjust Eos’s parameters.
Eos has a simple “MIDI Learn” mode for assigning its knobs and other controls to MIDI controllers. To assign a
control to a MIDI controller:
1. Hold down the SHIFT and CTRL keys on your PC’s keyboard, or SHIFT and CMD keys if you’re using a Mac,
and click once on the knob. If you want to use one of the controls that also has a graphic
representation, such as SIZE, LOW MULT, etc., click on the numeric value rather than the graphic. A
white box will be drawn around the control to indicate that it is ready to learn which MIDI controller it
will be assigned to.
2. Move the MIDI controller to send a continuous controller message—turn the knob, press the button,
move the slider, whatever is appropriate.
3. The white square will disappear. Now the knob will move when you manipulate the MIDI controller.
Eos waits until it has received two consecutive continuous controller messages with the same controller
number before it makes an assignment. This filters out extraneous data sent by some MIDI controllers. If you
are assigning a button or switch on a MIDI controller, you may have to press or move the switch twice before
Eos recognizes the controller and assigns it to the desired knob.
· To assign a different MIDI controller to a control, repeat the same procedure using a different
controller.
