GALILEO 408 USER GUIDE

Compass

®

 control software:

 Provides comprehensive control of the Galileo 408 through 

a graphical user interface running on a remote computer.

The software enables easy access to all Galileo features and even provides control of mul-
tiple units. Compass includes a context-sensitive help system, full copy and paste of all 
settings and groups of settings, and multiple levels of undo. The tabbed interface can be 
scaled to any display resolution and the colors can be configured for either day or night. 
Windows and Mac OS X versions have the same user interface, so switching between 
platforms is completely transparent.

A sophisticated channel linking system allows multiple inputs and outputs, even across 
multiple Galileo 408s, to be linked so that parameter changes are applied to all linked 
channels. Relative gain mode allows gain changes to linked channels while retaining gain 
differences between linked channels.

The EQ Plotter window includes an overlay of the applied CP-10 and TruShaping equaliza-
tion, for both amplitude and phase, in a single editable window. Equalization parameters 
can be edited directly by simply dragging EQ points in the display, or by entering values 
numerically for greater precision.

TIP:
