Abstract
A system includes at least one controller device connectable to a computer where a mixer function is implemented by application software. The controller device includes: a communication interface connectable to the computer; a plurality of faders capable of remote-controlling parameters of channels assigned thereto; a channel shift button; and a bank shift button. The channels assigned to the faders are collectively shifted by one channel in response to an instruction given via the channel shift button, or collectively shifted by the one bank in response to an instruction given via the bank shift button. For each of the controller devices, identification information of the controller device and information of a first channel of all of the assigned channels is stored so that the stored information is used at the time of activation of the software for restoring previous settings stored at the time of last deactivation of the software.
