 Hi

I assume you have the latest OS on your Eclipse, V_3.51. If that's not the case you should update your unit first.

When you state "Eclipse = PC 101" you mean Preset 101, right? That's the preset that is loaded?

So that we are on the same track, this is how Eclipse uses Bank Change (MIDI CC #0), from the latest user manual:

Using MIDI Bank Select Messages 
MIDI bank select messages allow random access to all presets in your Eclipse, unlike MIDI maps which
limit the selection to 128 choices.  Eclipse receives bank select messages on MIDI continuous controller
#0.
For example, to load preset #451, send a MIDI bank select message (continuous controller #0) with a
value of 4, followed by a MIDI program change message with a value of 51.  To load preset 13, send a
MIDI bank select message (continuous controller #0) with a value of 0, followed by a MIDI program
change message with a value of 13.
At power-up, Eclipse will default to the current Midi Map (see above).  After receiving a MIDI bank se-
lect message, Eclipse will ?remember? this bank until it receives another Bank Select message.  
To re-enable one of the three MIDI Maps, simply send bank select #101, #102, or #103 to enable Midi
Map 1, 2, or 3, respectively.
