A sound processing method for a sound device including at least a physical controller, connectable to a sound processing apparatus, the method including, control the physical controller to operate in a first mode to execute an assignable function in the sound device, and a second mode to execute a preassigned function in the sound processing apparatus in a state where the sound device is connected thereto, detecting whether the sound device is connected to the sound processing apparatus, and receiving a switching instruction to switch from the first mode to the second mode after detecting connection between the sound device and the sound processing apparatus.

Sound processing method, sound device, and sound processing system

A controlling method including controlling signal processing of the channel assigned to each of the plurality of first physical controllers, based on a parameter indicated by each of the plurality of first physical controllers, enabling a parameter change operation by the plurality of first physical controllers when a channel group set to be enabled by the third physical controller is designated, and disabling the parameter change operation by the plurality of first physical controllers when a channel group set to be disabled by the third physical controller is designated.

Sound processing apparatus and controlling method of sound processing apparatus

An operation panel for an audio processing apparatus includes a plurality of components including a user interface that selects at least one output channel among a plurality of output channels and presents a first processing parameter, which indicates a send level from an input channel to the selected at least one output channel, and a second processing parameter different from the first processing parameter. The audio processing apparatus further includes a link receiver that receives, for at least two components, among the plurality of components, for setting a first link mode and a second link mode independently the first link mode for linking the presented first processing parameter, and the second link mode for linking the presented second processing parameter.

Operation panel for audio processing apparatus and operation method of operation panel for audio processing apparatus

An audio mixer includes a user interface, panners, a first adder, a localization device, a second adder, and an output circuit. The user interface supplies a first parameter and a second parameter for each channel based on a user operation. The first parameter indicates a position in a right-left direction. The second parameter specifies internalization or externalization. The panners respectively correspond to channels and, based on the first parameter, pan a sound signal corresponding to the each channel to generate first stereo signals. The first adder generates a second stereo signal by mixing first stereo signals respectively corresponding to externalization channels. The localization device generates two third stereo signals. The second adder generates a fourth stereo signal by mixing the two third stereo signals and first stereo signals respectively corresponding to internalization channels. The output circuit outputs the fourth stereo signal.

Audio mixer and method of processing sound signal

An audio mixer includes an operation panel having a plurality of faders, a display device, and a first surface, a second surface, and a third surface, the second surface extending from the first surface and the third surface extending from the second surface, in a front-back direction. The plurality of faders are disposed along the first surface and arranged in a left-right direction. The display device is disposed along the third surface. A first reference distance from a common reference point to a first point of the first surface is equal to greater than a second reference distance from the common reference point to a second point of the third surface. The first point is disposed at a frontmost portion of the operation panel. The second point is disposed higher than the first point, at an uppermost portion of the third surface. The common reference position is disposed higher than the second point.

Operation panel for audio processing apparatus

An audio signal processing apparatus includes a first bus, a second bus, and a controller that assigns a first input channel to the first bus, assigns a second input channel to the second bus, receives an amount of feed from the first input channel to the first bus, and receives an amount of feed from the second input channel to the second bus.

Audio signal processing apparatus and audio signal processing method for controlling amount of feed to buses

A parameter setting apparatus includes a first display device, a first operation controller, a mode operation controller configured to receive either designation of a first adjustment mode for adjusting a send level or a second adjustment mode for adjusting a first parameter other than the send level, and a processing controller. The controller includes a processor. The processor controls the first display device to display a bus selection screen on the display device, selects a bus based on an operation on the displayed selection screen, causes the first operation controller to adjust a send level of the selected bus upon the mode operation controller receiving the designation of the first adjustment mode, and causes the first operation controller to adjust the first parameter upon the mode operation controller receiving the designation of the second adjustment mode.

Parameter setting apparatus and parameter setting method

A sound processing apparatus includes a signal processing device that individually performs first localization setting (e.g., sound volume panning) for setting localization of an input sound signal based on a value of a first parameter and second localization setting (e.g., delay panning) for setting localization of the input sound signal based on a value of a second parameter. In response to an adjustment by an operation device of the value of one of the first and second parameters, a control device automatically changes the value of the other of the first and second parameters. In this way, sound image localization based on the first localization setting and sound image localization based on the second localization setting are automatically controlled in an interlocked relation to each other. At least one of the sound signals localized based on the first and/or second localization setting is output to an output destination.
