A rotary operator includes: a rotator including a movement path provided for an outer circumferential surface and inclined to a circumferential direction about a rotation axis, the rotator rotating about the axis; and a contact piece coming into contact with the rotator, and moving along the path in a direction along the axis in association with rotation of the rotator. Rotation of the rotator in a first rotation direction is restricted by the contact piece being at a first position when the rotator reaches a predetermined position. When rotating force applied to the rotator is reduced in a state where rotation of the rotator in the first rotation direction from the predetermined position is restricted, the contact piece returns to a second position to allow the rotation of the rotator in the first rotation direction from the predetermined position.

Rotary operator and audio device

Provided is an audio device including: a detector configured to detect a rotational angle of a rotary operation element; a determination unit configured to determine, based on the rotational angle, whether a rotation direction of the rotary operation element is reversed; and an effect playback controller configured to play back an effect sound associated with an angle difference between the rotational angle based on when the rotation direction is reversed and a reference angle.

Audio device, audio device playback control method, and program

In a preparation step, raw material milk is prepared. In a lactose degradation step, at least part of lactose included in the prepared raw material milk is degraded using a lactose-degrading enzyme. The lactose concentration in the raw material milk in which lactose is degraded is not more than 2.5% by mass with respect to a total amount of the raw material milk. A lactic acid bacterium is added to the raw material milk in which at least part of lactose is degraded, and the raw material milk to which the lactic acid bacterium is added is fermented.

Fermented milk and method for manufacturing fermented milk

An acoustic device includes a rotary operator and a base supporting the rotary operator so that the rotary operator is rotatable. The rotary operator includes a rotary body provided on the base, a pressed portion provided on the rotary body and on which a pressing operation is performed, a press detecting unit provided on the rotary body along an outer circumference of the rotary operator and configured to detect the pressing operation performed on the pressed portion, and elastic members interposed between the pressed portion and the press detecting unit.

Acoustic effect playback device having a rotary operator

An acoustic device includes a rotary operator and a base supporting the rotary operator so that the rotary operator is rotatable. The base includes a braking unit configured to be brought into contact with the rotary operator to cause a braking force to act on the rotary operator and an adjuster configured to adjust the braking force caused by the braking unit. The braking unit includes a plurality of contact members configured to be brought into contact with the rotary operator to cause the braking force to act on the rotary operator. The braking force acting on the rotary operator by the plurality of the contact members varies depending on an adjustment amount by the adjuster.

Acoustic device

Sound equipment includes: a beat position acquiring unit configured to analyze a beat position of music piece data to be reproduced or acquire an analysis result; and a beat position displaying unit configured to display a scale of a differential numerical value of the number of beats in a plus direction and a minus direction of the music piece data with reference to a currently reproduced position of the music piece data.

Audio equipment and program for audio equipment

A sound volume operation device configured to amplify and output an inputted acoustic signal includes: at least one sound volume adjuster configured to adjustably amplify an inputted acoustic signal; an output level detector configured to detect an output sound volume level of the acoustic signal amplified by the at least one sound volume adjuster; and an illuminator provided at or adjacent to the at least one sound volume adjuster and configured to provide a different illumination state according to the output sound volume level detected by the output level detector.

Sound volume operation device

An operation device includes a stationary portion, a movable portion configured to move in a predetermined direction within a predetermined range, and a load adjuster configured to adjust a movement load of the movable portion. An elastic portion that is elastically deformable is provided to the movable portion. The load adjuster is provided to the stationary portion and provided with a press portion configured to press the elastic portion in a direction intersecting with the moving direction of the movable portion.
