A digital mixer is disclosed having a plurality of displays and which applies a mixing process on an audio signal. The digital mixer includes an input interface, one or more processors, an output interface, at least a first display and a second display, and an operator. The operator includes a mode switching button for switching between a first mode and a second mode. The one or more processors are configured to cause parameter setting screens of audio signals of different channels to be displayed respectively on the first display and the second display when the mode switching button is set to the first mode, and cause different parameter setting screens of an audio signal of a single channel to be displayed respectively on the first display and the second display when the mode switching button is set to the second mode.

A mixing console is disclosed which enables temporary operation and display of channels of different layers with a simple operation. A digital mixing console includes a channel strip portion that has a plurality of channel strips having an operator which adjusts a parameter value for controlling an audio signal, and a layer setter that divides the channel strip portion into a plurality of blocks and sets layer data which define a channel to be operated and to be displayed for each of the blocks. When one or more processors detect an operation of FIX LAYER button which prohibits switching of the layer data to fix the layer data for each of the blocks, the one or more processors fix the layer data of the corresponding block.

Mixing console

An audio apparatus is disclosed which allows a user to easily visually confirm deviation of an operation position from a prescribed value even when the deviation is small. The audio apparatus includes an operator that operates an audio signal, a display that displays a relationship between a parameter setting value according to an operation of the operator and a prescribed value, and one or more processors that change a display form of the display. The one or more processors cause, when the parameter setting value is deviated from the prescribed value, display with a display form different from that when the parameter setting value coincides with the prescribed value, regardless of an amount of the deviation.

Audio apparatus

A multitrack recorder includes a display unit and a control unit. The control unit displays on the display unit a level meter image indicating information on a corresponding track with respect to each of a predetermined number of tracks, and also first number images indicating the respective numbers of some of the tracks so as to be associated with the corresponding respective level meter images irrespective of the states of the some tracks, and, when a focused track is generated among the tracks displayed, temporarily displays a second number image indicating the number of the focused track so as to be associated with the corresponding level meter image. The second number image is displayed in a manner such that at least one of a size, a position, and a color is different from that of the first number image.

Multitrack recorder

A switch device with an indicator, in which the indication resolution for the operation amount of a switch can be increased without increasing the number of light emitting elements of the indicator and with a low cost, is provided. The switch device includes an LED which emits light when the operation state of a knob of the switch corresponds to a first state and an LED which emits light when the operation state of a knob of the switch corresponds to a second state. When the operation state of the knob lies between the first and second states, at least one of the amount and color of light emission from the LEDs is changed in order to indicate an intermediate operation state of the switch.

Switch device with indicator

A switch device is provided which allows easy recognition of the operation amount of the switch device with an inexpensive structure and without the need for an operator to change the posture or the like, even when a blind spot region is generated in an indicator as a special indication region at the time of indicating the operation amount of the switch. When the special indication region on the indicator cannot be seen directly because it is blocked by a knob, the state of the indicator in the special indication region is expressed using a visible region on the indicator which is always visible. Thus, the operator can recognize the operation amount of the switch device in the blind spot region without changing the posture or the like and using a simple structure of the switch device.
