Mix view
The Mix View presents common controls for 32 Spacemap Channels. For all controls of a channel, use Channel View.
Each Channel represents an input. There are three methods used to route an input signal to outputs:
Real-time gesture control of the Spacemap Panner
Automated control, using a Trajectory (predefined path) that the Spacemap Panner follows
Enter summing matrix cross-point levels (Channel View)
By default, Spacemaps are not selected and Matrix levels are set to -inf dB (off) — no path for audio exists between a system input and an output. This default state is similar to a mixing console input that is not assigned to any buses, matrix outputs, or master outputs.
Select a Spacemap
The Mix View displays eight input channels per layer, up to four layers, 32 channels, as well as an Overview of all channels. The eight active channels are highlighted, Channels 1-8 below.
Tap the SELECT SPACEMAPS button to choose a Spacemap for a channel.
Spacemap Go – Mix View
Tap the ADD SPACEMAP button and select a Spacemap from the Choose Spacemap popover. Select APPLY TO ALL CHANNELS to assign the selected Spacemap(s) to all channels.
Spacemap Go – Select Spacemaps Window and Spacemap Library
Two Spacemaps can be selected for each channel. Tap the orange ADD SPACEMAP button to add a second Spacemap.
When two Spacemaps are added, use the percentage slider to change the percentage of the input signal sent to each Spacemap. The slider changes color depending on which Spacemap has the higher percentage, although both are routing audio unless the percentage is 0% for one of them. For example, using two Spacemaps, one Spacemap for lateral Speaker Nodes and another for overhead Speaker Nodes, fading between the two Spacemaps pans the input vertically. See details on the Spacemaps page.
Channel matrix values
The second option for routing an input to outputs is to enter cross-point Matrix levels. From the Mix View, tap the name of a channel or tap the Channel View button to open the Channel View. Use the arrows on either side of the channel name in the channel navigator to switch to the previous or next channel. Tap the channel name to open the channel selector pop-over and select another channel. Tap a matrix level to enter the output level for the channel. Swipe the Matrix row for additional outputs.
Spacemap Go – Channel Matrix Levels
Select a Trajectory
Trajectories are automated motion paths for the Spacemap Panner. When a Spacemap is assigned, the CHOOSE TRAJECTORY button is added below the Spacemap. Tap it to display the Trajectory Library. Tap a Trajectory to add it to the Spacemap.
Spacemap Go – Trajectory Templates
From the Mix View, two controls are displayed below the Spacemap: one to play the Trajectory and another to reset the Trajectory. Tap the Trajectory Name next to these controls to open the Trajectory Library and select a different Trajectory or none.

Remove a Spacemap or trajectory
To remove a Spacemap or trajectory from a channel, follow the same steps to add a Spacemap or trajectory and select NO SPACEMAP or NO TRAJECTORY from the library.
Mix or Channel View – Select No Spacemap or No Trajectory
Channel controls
Each channel has the following controls:
Input Level Meter: Visual indication of the input level.
Fader: Adjusts the audio level using a logarithmic slider. The nominal level (0 dB) is indicated by the grey line.
Mix View – Channel Signal Meter and Level Fader
 | Link: Tap this button to link the Fader Level, Solo, Mute, and Spread controls of odd/even channel pairs. Select a link mode for the Spacemap Panner – see options below. Select a Trajectory for the odd numbered channel of a linked pair. The Panner of the even numbered channel will follow the Trajectory of the odd channel depending on the link mode selected. |
SPRD: Regardless the Spacemap Panner position, the spread function routes an input signal to all of the Speaker Nodes in a Spacemap. Tap the SPRD button to open the percentage slider. At 0%, no additional signal is sent to Speaker Nodes. As Spread is increased, the surrounding nodes without signal start receiving the input signal. When Spread is set to 100%, all the Speaker Nodes receive the input signal at 0 dB, no attenuation. | |
MUTE: When MUTE is selected, audio is no longer routed to outputs from the channel. | |
SOLO: When SOLO is selected, only audio from the selected Channel is routed to outputs, commonly referred to as Solo In Place. |
MONO: Both linked channels have the same behavior.
NEAR X: The even channel follows the odd channel, but is offset horizontally to the right.
NEAR Y: The even channel follows the odd one, but is offset vertically from the top.
FAR X: The even channel follows the odd channel, but is offset horizontally further to the right.
FAR Y: The even channel follows the odd one, but is offset vertically further from the top.
MIRROR X: When the X value is positive for the first linked channel, the X value is negative for the second, and vice versa.
MIRROR Y: When the Y values are positive for the first linked channel, the Y values are negative for the second, and vice versa.
MIRROR XY: Both X and Y values are mirrored as described above.
Tip
When linked, the even channel indicates the linked status.
Mix View – Linked Channels

Channel view
The Channel View presents all of the controls for a single Spacemap Go channel to the user.
Fundamentally, Spacemap Go controls the Summing Matrix cross-point levels of Galileo GALAXY processors. Each Spacemap Go Channel represents a GALAXY processor input. Each input can be routed to any output at any level between -inf and 0 dB. The system outputs are represented as Speaker Nodes in the app.
For each channel, the Summing Matrix cross-point levels can be changed using one of three methods:
Real-time gesture control of the Spacemap Panner.
Automated control, using a Trajectory (predefined path) that the Spacemap Panner follows.
Enter summing matrix cross-point levels.
Channel View – Capture Channel Snapshot(1), Channel Navigation(2), Spacemap A & B (3), and Trajectory (4)
The settings of individual channels or groups of channels are stored and recalled using Channel Snapshots (Mix View). Individual Channel Snapshots can be created in the Channel View by tapping the Capture Snapshot button, 
above.
Use the navigation buttons to display the next or previous channel, 
above. Tap the channel name to open the channel selection pop-over. Tap-hold the channel name to edit.
Each channel can have one or two Spacemaps 
and one Trajectory, 
above.
Tap the name of a Spacemap or Trajectory to open the library, make another selection or select none.
Summing matrix levels
For each channel, tap an output to manually enter a summing matrix cross-point level, routing the input signal of the channel to the selected processor output at the level entered. Swipe left/right to display additional outputs. Levels entered are overwritten if a Spacemap is added to a channel and the Panner is moved.

Channel View, Two Spacemaps Assigned, No Trajectory
SPACEMAP NAME: Tap either to make a different selection, including none.
PERCENTAGE: When two Spacemaps are added, this slider adjusts the percentage of input signal routed to each Spacemap. The slider changes color and the Spacemap displayed changes depending on which Spacemap has the higher percentage, although both are receiving signal unless the percentage is zero for either one. There are advantages to using two Spacemaps; see details on the Spacemaps page.
POSITION MODE: Enables gesture control of the Spacemap Panner .
XY POSITION: Displays the X and Y coordinates of the Spacemap Panner. Tap values to enter coordinates
SPREAD: Controls how much of the input signal to routed to all of the speaker nodes in the Spacemap, regardless of the Spacemap Panner location. When set to 0%, no signal is “spread.” As the Spread percentage is increased, the level of the input signal routed to each Speaker Node is increased. When 100% is selected, the input signal is routed to all Speaker Nodes at 0 dB. This slider is logarithmic.
Add a Trajectory
Use the Create View to add user-created Trajectories to the Trajectory Library.
A Trajectory is a defined movement path for the Spacemap Panner. When a trajectory is selected, a yellow line representing the movement path is overlaid on the Spacemap, and the Trajectory controls are displayed on the right side of the Channel View.
Channels do not have Trajectories selected initially. Each channel can be assigned one Trajectory. To select a Trajectory for a channel, tap in either Mix or Channel View to open the Trajectory library, which includes factory examples and user-created Trajectories. Swipe up/down to scroll the Trajectory Library.

Nodes types
For more information about nodes and their uses in a Spacemap, please see the Spacemaps page.
 | Speaker Nodes Speaker Nodes represent the physical outputs of a Spacemap System as blue squares. Positions of Speaker Nodes in a Spacemap can represent the loudspeaker layout logically, randomly, or abstractly. Abstract layouts are usually used to facilitate specific panning scenarios that would be difficult or impossible to create with a logical speaker node layout. |
 | Virtual Nodes Virtual Nodes simulate a physical output for panning purposes and can be used in conjunction with Silent Nodes. Virtual Nodes are linked to Speaker Nodes and/or Silent Nodes. The links are indicated graphically by a translucent line, wider at the Virtual Node, narrower at the linked Speaker Node. When the Spacemap Panner is moved to a Virtual Node, the input signal is equally distributed to the linked Speaker Nodes by default. Each linked Speaker Node has a Link Weight that is adjustable (0–100%). |
 | Silent Nodes Silent Nodes are included in Trisets, just like Speaker Nodes, but they are not associated with an output. When the Spacemap Panner is moved closer to a Silent Node, all output levels of the channel are reduced. When the Spacemap Panner is on a Silent Node, all output levels of the channel are -∞ (-infinity) dB. Moving the Panner closer or further away from a Silent Node is an easy way to fade-in or fade-out a channel using the Spacemap Panner instead of the channel level control. In a Spacemap, when the Spacemap Panner is moved to a location that does not include a Triset, all of the output levels of the channel drop to -∞ dB. As the Panner is moved on and off of Trisets it will sound like the mute for the channel is being toggled. If this is not the desired effect, Silent Nodes can be added at the extents of a Spacemap with Trisets that include them. When Trisets fill the entirety of a Spacemap and the Spacemap Panner approaches the edge of the Spacemap, the output levels will not suddenly drop to -∞ dB. Instead, the output levels are gradually reduced as the Panner is moved closer to a Silent Node. |
 | Derived Nodes Derived Nodes link to one or more Speaker Nodes and receive the sum of the signals from the linked Speaker nodes. They are represented as hexagons in a Spacemap. Dashed lines indicate the Speaker Nodes to which they are linked. Derived Nodes are used as a method to send input signal to additional outputs, relative to the linked Speaker Nodes. They are commonly used for subwoofer sends, fill mixes, sends to balconies, and other cases where a secondary mix-down of a multichannel mix is required. |
 | Trisets At least one Triset is required in each Spacemap. Trisets are triangular panning surfaces created between three nodes that define the panning area between them. In conjunction with the relative location of the Spacemap Panner, Trisets are used by the app to determine the output levels for each node. The size of the Triset is not critical because the power-preserving panning law is proportional rather than absolute. The output levels are calculated based on the relative distance between the Spacemap Panner and each of the nodes that make up a Triset, rather than the actual physical distance within the grid of the Spacemap. If an area of a Spacemap does not have a Triset and the Spacemap Panner is moved there, the output levels will drop to -∞ dB (the input signal will not be sent to any output). Trisets can be generated automatically or added manually when creating or editing Spacemaps in Create View.  |
