摘要： There is provided a digital mixer including a plurality of functional blocks each having a CPU and a control program executed by the CPU which is capable of properly and easily controlling the version of the control program operated by the CPU of each functional block. When the power of the digital mixer is turned on, the respective versions of the functional blocks are acquired. Matching of the acquired versions of the functional blocks with the reference version is checked. When the checked versions of the functional blocks all match the reference version, the operation of the digital mixer is continued, and when at least one of the checked versions of the functional blocks mismatches the reference version, a warning is given to the user.

摘要： A digital mixer has a panel and a mixing processor configurable in matching with a scene to mix audio signals fed from input channels and to feed the mixed audio signals to output channels. The panel has an operator manipulable to operate the mixing processor, and a display provided for displaying a state of the mixing processor. Further, a storage is provided for storing configuration patterns of the mixing processor in correspondence to various scenes. A retriever is provided for calling one of the various scenes and for retrieving the configuration pattern corresponding to the called scene from the storage; a selector provided for selecting one of a preview mode and a non-preview mode. A controller operates when the non-preview mode is selected for actually configuring the mixing processor according to the retrieved configuration pattern to thereby enable the mixing processor to reproduce the corresponding scene, and operates when the preview mode is selected for producing a preview of a configured state of the mixing processor according to the retrieved configuration pattern without actually configuring the mixing processor to thereby enable the display to present the preview.

摘要： One or more input channels are selected from among a plurality of input channels, and signals of the selected one or more input channels are mixed into a first output channel. A particular input channel to be excluded from the plurality of input channels is set as desired. Then, a setting is made such that the signals of the selected one or more input channels, having the signal of particular input channel excluded therefrom, are mixed into a second output channel. To the first output channel are set such signal paths as to allow mixing of all the signals of the selected one or more input channels. To the second output channel are set such signal paths as to allow mixing of the signals of the selected one or more input channels with the signal of the particular input channel excluded thereform.

摘要： In sequence data composed of a plurality of event sets with their execution sequence predefined, each of the event sets includes event data indicative of an event to be executed and trigger data defining timing for executing the event. Once a user manually instructs progression instructing operation while the individual events are being executed in accordance with the timing defined by the corresponding trigger data, the next event is executed immediately even before arrival of the next event execution timing. According to another aspect, the trigger data include trigger data of a first type that defines the event execution timing the event by use of an absolute time and trigger data of a second type that defines the event execution timing by use of a relative time between the events, and the sequence data may mixedly include the trigger data of the first and second types. Any one of the two time information can be used appropriately in accordance with characteristics of the individual events. For example, for one event having close relevancy to another event to be executed earlier than the one event, the relative time information is used.

摘要： A digital mixing system is provided in which a console section and an engine section that executes signal processing can operate consistently in accordance with control signals input to the console section and the engine section. The digital mixing system has a plurality of input signal systems and a plurality of output signal systems. Input signals from the input signal systems are subjected to a mixing process and the mixed signals are output to the output signal systems. In a console section, panel operating elements are used to input parameters relating to the mixing process, and a first control device generates a mixing control signal in response to operation of the panel operating elements or to a first control signal input via a first input terminal or a first communication interface, and outputs the mixing control signal to the first communication interface. In an engine section, a mixing processing device executes the above mixing process, and a second control device controls the mixing process executed by the mixing processing device in response to the mixing control signal input via a second communication interface and outputs a second control signal input via a second input terminal to the second communication interface. Communication lines connect between the first communication interface and the second communication interface.

摘要： There are displayed an array of parameter setting images (e.g., virtual operator images) corresponding to a plurality of parameters, and a plurality of tab images for selecting any one of a plurality of groups formed by grouping the plurality of parameters. The plurality of tab images correspond to the plurality of groups and are displayed on a screen in an arrangement associated with the array of the parameter setting images corresponding to the parameters belonging to corresponding ones of the groups. The grouping of the parameters is made in such a manner that a portion of the parameters included in a given one of the groups is shared with another of the groups, and a portion of the tab image corresponding to the portion of the parameters shared with the other group is displayed in a display style capable of indicating that the portion of the parameters is shared. Once any one of the tab images is selected, the parameters included in the group corresponding to the selected tab image is allocated to individual ones of the plurality of operators.

摘要： In order to set in advance, for each scene, setting data that should belong to (or should not belong to) a recall range, a predetermined recall setting window is displayed for a current data set representing current settings of a mixing system. Buttons in a parameter selection section correspond to parameters of each channels belonging to the current data set, and the buttons can turned on and off. When the current data set is to be recorded as a scene data set, settings of the recall setting window are also stored as part of the current data set. When the scene is to be recalled, only setting data of parameters, having been set as data belonging to the recall range, are recalled. Also, editing of a channel name is permitted in order to perform optimal name display for channel strips of the system in accordance with a form of use of the system.
