Why it mattered

  1. 01

    Opened Meyer's established Spacemap spatial-mixing technique to an installed base of thousands of GALAXY processors.

  2. 02

    Enabled live panning, snapshots, and cue automation without replacing existing processor hardware.

Engineering record

Scale
One system can combine as many as four GALAXY 408, 816, or 816-AES3 processors and one or more iPads.[2]
Show control
The app supports snapshot recall and integration with QLab and major digital audio workstations.[3]

Original pricing

Free app for GALAXY owners

2026 equivalent

Not calculated without a reliable original price.

The iPad application and enabling update were free; GALAXY processor hardware was sold separately.[1]

Use in the field

Meyer connected the platform's lineage to spatial productions including The Beatles LOVE and National Sawdust.[2]

Release-period reaction · 2021

After comparing immersive systems in demos, Van Druten was particularly impressed by Spacemap Go’s amplitude-based panning for moving trajectories, such as taking a guitar around the room.

Release-period reaction · 2021

Doubet valued the integration of delay changes and panning when Michael Bublé moved along a catwalk to a B-stage. He reported that the voice followed the performer’s position, maintaining the sense of intimacy rather than coming from distant main arrays.
