Operators in the delivery control section are varied in function in accordance with a selected operation mode. For example, in a mix send mode, a plurality of rotary operators are set to function as send level adjustment operators for the respective input channels so as to adjust send levels to a given mixing bus, while, in a mix master mode, the rotary operators are set to function as output gain adjustment operators for the respective mixing buses.

Operation panel structure and control method and control apparatus for mixing system

A mixer includes a storage portion, a reception portion, a user-definition-scene-memory setting portion, a setting changing portion, a storage processing portion, and a recall processing portion. The reception portion receives specification of several parameters among a plurality of parameters. The storage portion stores setting values of the plurality of parameters. The user-definition-scene-memory setting portion stores the several parameters, received by the reception portion, in the storage portion for every scene as a user-definition-scene-memory. The setting changing portion receives an operation of changing current setting of the plurality of parameters. The storage processing portion stores setting values of the several parameters, changed in the setting changing portion, in the current data storage portion. The recall processing portion calls setting values of the several parameters corresponding to the user-definition-scene-memory from the storage portion, when a recall of the user-definition-scene memory is received in the reception portion.

Mixer, control method of mixer, and program

As viewed from the front of an operation panel, adjustment sections for individual input channels are positioned on the operation panel close to a human operator, and a display, a control section for setting an equalizer process, compressor process etc. for one selected channel and a signal delivery control section for setting signal delivery to mixing buses for the selected channel are positioned, in a horizontal row remotely from the human operator. Operators in the delivery control section are varied in function in accordance with a selected operation mode. For example, in a mix send mode, a plurality of rotary operators are set to function as send level adjustment operators for the respective input channels so as to adjust send levels to a given mixing bus, while, in a mix master mode, the rotary operators are set to function as output gain adjustment operators for the respective mixing buses.

In an audio signal processing device including a plurality of mixing buses to mix audio signals processed in a plurality of channels, a switching instruction to switch function of the mixing buses is accepted. In accordance with the switching instruction, operation mode of one or a plurality of switch mixing buses among the plurality of mixing buses is switched between a first mode and a second mode. In first mode, the audio signal processing device controls ON/OFF of signal transmission from each of the channels to the switch mixing bus in accordance with settings of ON/OFF of signal transmission from the each channel to the switch mixing bus, and in second mode, the audio signal processing device controls ON/OFF of signal transmission from each of the channels to the switch mixing bus in accordance with manipulation of cue controls respectively provided to correspond to any of the channels.

Method for controlling audio signal processing device, audio signal processing device, and storage medium

A specification of one of a plurality of controls is accepted, a specification of a plurality of items is accepted with respect to parameters, and among the plurality of controls, a plurality of controls to which parameter items are to be assigned are determined with reference to the control for which the specification is accepted. To each of the determined plurality of controls, one of the plurality of items for which the specification is accepted is assigned, and each of the plurality of controls is made to function as a control for operating the set value of the item assigned to this control.

Audio signal processing apparatus for parameter assignment

An audio signal in a plurality of input channels each including an equalizer and a dynamics as a first signal processing part is taken out as a cue signal by a cue switch, and the cue signal is outputted to a monitoring output terminal via a cue output channel. In the cue output channel, there are provided an equalizerand a dynamics, as a second signal processing part, which perform signal processing common to the first signal processing part of the input channel in accordance with values of second parameters which are editable independently from first parameters used by the first signal processing part. In this configuration, it is preferable that the values of the second parameters may be reflected onto signal processing in the input channel in accordance with an instruction by a user.

Audio signal processing device, parameter recall method and storage medium

While level of the inputted analog signal is adjusted according to a set analog gain value and then analog-digital converted and outputted, when an automatic compensation is on and a difference of the analog gain value and a target value is compensated by level adjustment in a digital amplifier, the analog gain value is displayed by a gain knob, and in response to an operation to turn on the automatic compensation, a present value of the analog gain value at that time is displayed as a target gain value by a mark near the analog gain value, and in response to an operation to turn off the automatic compensation, display of the target gain value is erased.

Audio signal processing system

In a digital mixer, when a patch of a certain channel is changed, values of parameters of one port which has been connected to the certain channel is applied as parameters of a newly connected port, thereby enabling to hand over parameters of the one port which have been set for the certain channel. Further, when a newly connected port is already connected to another channel, the digital mixer asks the user whether or not to apply the parameters of the one port.

Digital mixer and patch setting method of digital mixer

A processing apparatus communicatively connected with a mixer apparatus and having an audio recording function is capable of recording in real time audio signals of one or more channels output from the mixer apparatus. When a snapshot change is to be made for collectively changing a state of a set of signal-processing setting data, the mixer apparatus transmits, to the processing apparatus, a command for setting a given parameter. Upon receipt of the command, the processing sets and records the given parameter, instructed by the received command, into a project that is recording in real time the audio signals of one or more channels.
