CHAPTER 2: COMPASS OVERVIEW

See Connecting and Configuring for use with SIM3 (p. 51) for a quick overview. Consult the SIM3 User Manual for full details.

8. Configure Processing

Compass provides first-order EQ (TruShaping) and second-order EQ (parametric) equalization on input and output channels, as well as a 31-band graphic equalizer on inputs and high/low pass filtering on outputs. TruShaping allows you to shape frequency response with a minimum of phase shift; parametric helps in reducing interaction artifacts; and the low/high pass filters are often used in creating subwoofer feeds.

See the Using Signal Processing (p. 53) section for more usage details.

9. Create Project and Snapshots

As you finalize the settings for a given source type you will want to capture a “snapshot” of the input, output, and summing matrix control values. Once captured, a snapshot can be recalled at will: when it is recalled, all the controls are set to the values they had when the snapshot was captured, recreating the aural environment you designed.

An additional level of organization is provided by “projects,” which allow you to save and load a set of snapshots for subsequent recall. Projects can be particularly useful as a means of collating a base set of snapshots from which to develop site-specific snapshots; or to organize snapshots by act, venue, or other arbitrary measure. Projects also save Galileo settings and Compass preferences, restoring your user interface and network preferences when loaded.

Snapshot, project creation, and update buttons are available at the bottom of most pages; there is also a full suite of controls located on the [Galileo Unit] > Project page. See Saving and Loading Projects and Snapshots (p. 61) for further details.

10. Restrict Access

In those situations when you are creating snapshots for a facility installation, where snapshots will be recalled by multiple users, you may want to lock down access to the Galileo front panel controls and Compass control pages: in all likelihood, you will want to provide access to only snapshot recall and environment settings. Access control gives you this ability.
