Meyer Sound galileo 616 Using Compass Tools, Navigating the Tabbed Window Interface

CHAPTER 3: USING COMPASS TOOLS

Navigating the Tabbed Window Interface

Compass is presented as a single-window interface controlling a number of physical and virtual Galileo 616 units. Within the window each Galileo is provided its own “tab.” Clicking a tab brings that page to the front of the window, often presenting a series of sub-tabs classifying various sets of controls: “Settings,” “Input Processing,” “Output Masters,” and so on.

In this user manual, pages are generally identified by listing the tabs and sub-tabs that must be selected to reach the page. If the instructions say “Select the [Galileo Unit] > Input Processing > Parametric page for the Galileo,” the intention is that you click the tab for the Galileo you wish to work with, then click the Input Processing tab, and then the Parametric sub-tab.

In addition to the tabs associated with specific Galileo 616 units or Virtual Galileo simulations, a tab labelled Compass allows you to set various interface preferences and a tab labelled Galileos contains controls for finding and connecting Galileo units.

On each page a variety of controls offer the ability to adjust the signal path. In this user manual control titles and control names are written in bold text, like so: “In the Current Project box, click Save As…”. If the instructions include setting a specific value, that value is indicated using monospace (typewriter) text: “Set Delay to 20 ms.” Finally, where instructions reference a special keyboard combination, the key names are given special treatment: “When using the keyboard, use ‹ Shift+Enter › to set the value after typing it.”

NOTE: Macintosh and Windows keyboards may use different names for the modifier keys.
