Parameter control device and storage medium

A first mode (one-knob off mode) and a second mode (one-knob on mode) are provided as modes for setting parameters. In the first mode, individual elements corresponding to respective parameters of a parameter set are displayed in an operable state, allowing setting of individual parameters. In the second mode, the individual elements are displayed in a non-operable state, and one-element is displayed in an operable state, and a plurality of parameters of the parameter set are controlled by operating the one-element. At the time of switching from the first mode to the second mode, the parameter set is initialized.

Method and apparatus for setting values of parameters

When a name of a group level control section is tapped, the group level control section is expanded and a group expansion screen is displayed on a display. In the group expansion screen, the group level control section is expanded and images of channel level control sections for respectively controlling output levels of channels belonging to a group corresponded to the group level control section are displayed by juxtaposing next to the group level control section. In this case, each channel level control section belongs to a lower layer than that of the group level control section. Although the channel level control sections and the group level control section belong to the different layers, they are aligned in the same line on the same screen on the display.

Level control apparatus and storage medium

A mixer includes a plurality of channel modules, and audio signals having processed in the individual channel modules are output from a main output. A temporary channel module is created and made usable in response to a preview start instruction for previewing a desired one of the channel modules as a preview-object channel module. The same audio signal as input to the preview-object channel module is input to the temporary channel module. The temporary channel module performs signal processing on the input audio signal independently of the preview-object channel module, and the audio signal having been subjected to the signal processing is output to a monitor output. Thus, a user is allowed to change a signal processing parameter value to be applied to an audio signal and preview the changed result, without influencing the main output.

Audio signal processing apparatus capable of signal processing for previewing purpose

A fader level set for a fader of a channel is displayed at a channel level display section in a channel screen by, for example, a length of a bar, and a channel level indicating level of output from the channel is overlay-displayed by an indicator on the channel level display section at a position corresponding to the level to be displayed. It is thereby possible to compare the fader level set for the fader of the channel and the channel level indicating level of output from the channel by checking the channel level display section in the channel screen.

Level setting apparatus and storage medium

A mixer includes a plurality of channel strips to which are variably allocated respective objects of operation, and a memory of the mixer stores layer data comprising information that, for each of the channel strips, designates a channel or a channel group as an object of operation of the channel strip, or designates the channel strip as a deploying channel strip for individually deploying thereto any one of the channels belonging to a given group. When objects of operation are to be allocated to the individual channel strips, no channel or group is allocated to each deploying channel strip, and a setting is made to the effect that the channel strip is to be used for a channel deploying purpose. In response to a deploying instruction of a given group, individual channels belonging to the given group are deployed to the deploying channel strips.

Allocation to channel strips in audio signal processing apparatus

In each category representing a signal type, a recommended minimum value and a recommended maximum value of a level of a signal are stored. The recommended minimum value and the recommended maximum value are determined based on a dynamic range of the signal of the type, for example.
