@KINETIC PROFESSIONALS i went to a state college, you will have to "espeak eslow". Could i connect a galaxy to the router via an ethernet cable and connect a tablet or computer to the router via wifi would b my question n use compassgo? You should do a video on the galaxy. Meyer has some info, but its for concerts madison square garden. :(
@@KINETICPROFESSIONALS No. the software doesn't see the device when it is in this state. I found some information on how to boot with different bios chips (holding A&C for chip 1 and B&D for chip 2). Did that a couple of times and at some point it worked but the device froze a couple of minutes later. At this point i removed the ram, cleaned the connections and put it back in. I managed to boot back onto the first chip and the device worked for the whole day without freezing once.
Would a Galileo Callisto be good in an installation setting? I'm wondering if you have to manually reload all the settings every time its turn off? or if you can just turn it on and its ready to go?
There are several installed ! Settings are saved upon shut down. On power up last settings are still there. More often than not Galileo’s are installed.
I'm totally new to the Line Array game: As for cabling to two Melodie Line arrays (2x6), do I need to run a XLR to each element? Or can I loop through? Or can the RMS ports be connected to the Galileo?
There's a funny story about why Callisto has all those high and low pass filters and the original Galileo doesn't. If you want to hear it, let me know.
@@KINETICPROFESSIONALS Great! I've not told this story in a while. It starts out in 2005 in what would later become the Don Pearson Memorial Theater at Meyer Sound in Berkeley. I was there with "Dr." Don Pearson (he passed away in January 2006), John Meyer, and John's son who was my manager at the time. I was writing Compass 2 and working with Don a lot. Don was asking for additional types of high and low pass filters but Perrin and John indicated that Meyer Sound speakers did not need those filters and that the ones that were included in the original Galileo were adequate. And that was that. The design of Galileo didn't change. Cut to 2012 and we were working on the design for Callisto. I worked closely with the guy who worked on the DSP code for it. There's another interesting story behind that which I can't really tell publicly. Long story short, the guy was a genius. He also did the DSP for CAL which I did the UI for. Also a long story behind that one. Since I was writing the Compass interface for Callisto, I had a lot of control over how it was going to function. Especially since the hardware didn't yet exist and the design wasn't finalized. Years earlier, I had done some work on what was eventually going to become the MM-4XP. The DSP in that used biquads so the UI interface I designed for that (before Compass 2) had to use biquads to create parametric and all the other types of EQ. I had stumbled on the "Cookbook formulae for audio EQ biquad filter coefficients" document and implemented that in the UI and used the coefficients to control the DSP. So, when it came time to do Callisto, I whipped out the old cookbook and I added as many of those filters as I thought we could use. Since they were simple biquads, the DSP for them was trivial. We put those filters in before anyone even knew what was going on. And since people kept saying they wanted them, they stuck. Guerilla Software Engineering at its best. Though, they laid me off along with 2 dozen others before Callisto shipped. So, I don't know if they changed anything.
I can't thank the author of the cookbook enough. I highly recommend it for anyone interested in learning about how these filters work or who need to implement them.

@@davidgrossman5741 truly awesome ! That was great. Including myself, I know so many people that use Calistos for more than meyer stuff. Sure, the active box's have built in hp, but being able to add your own and make it as aggressive as needed has been huge. I still get called on the older Galileo (where's the hp??). Again, super cool. I love hearing about the math too as I am a huge math nerd 🤓. Thank you! Made My morning.
@@KINETICPROFESSIONALS You're welcome! Thank Dr. Don too! He made everything possible. It's good to see that these units are still in demand and in use considering how many new processors are out there now.
This video is super helpful to a beginner like me on the Galileo. Thank you!

how do you factory reset a meyer galileo 408? it’s an older model.
Hello! My galileo 6126 is stuck on loading screen. Just says "Meyer sound". Any way to troubleshoot?
Can you access the menu through compass software ?

You can loop through. Via xlr on the back of the Melodie’s
@@KINETICPROFESSIONALS thanks for the quick answer! But can I then still use the Galileo to control each element individually?
@@haselhofler yes , I would give advice based on the situation. Most people send L an R to the signal processor and then then distribute as needed.

Would love to hear! I own both and always wondered why. 🤔
