CHAPTER 2: COMPASS OVERVIEW

Compass Controls

Figure 2.1. Illustrated User Interface Element Names

On each Compass page are controls for setting values; selecting, isolating, and link grouping channels; enabling or bypassing parts of the signal path; selecting a page or sub-page of controls; adjusting the display of components; saving snapshots and projects; and so on.

Some pages appear to be very complex, but as with physical consoles there is a large duplication of controls, each specific to a channel or band. Color is used to indicate the status or setting of controls, and many controls are likely to be familiar to you already, either as parts of a traditional console or as a variation of a common graphic interface control.

The following sections discuss the major controls in more detail:

Using Tabs

Compass organizes its controls on “pages,” which are selected by choosing a “tab.” Visually, these tabs look similar to the tabs used

in binders and books: an extra bit of the page that sticks out beyond the normal page edge, with a label. Selecting the tab displays the page.

When a tab is clicked the page is changed immediately after the mouse button is released. If you move the mouse off the toggle button, the action is canceled.
