Abstract
An audio mixing console includes user controls which can be dynamically allocated to respective processing channels enabling a compact audio mixing console to be provided with full functionality, but with only a relatively small number of user operable controls including allocatable channel faders and allocatable audio signal processing control knobs and buttons, etc. Individual control values for the user operable control can be updated, maintained and retained for each of the processing channels which can be allocated to the individual user operable controls. Also, a single processing channel can be allocated to a user operable control on two sub-panels of the control panel and the user operable controls on both sub-panels can be used separately to control the processing within that channel. The resulting changes in the user operable control 'positions' are displayed as a result of the dual control of a processing function within a processing channel by respective user operable controls on the respective sub-panels.
