PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve operability of work calling a parameter relating to one channel on an operation panel. SOLUTION: A mixer 100 includes: an encoder 11 for adjusting a send level to an assigned mix ch; a mix send select key 12 for selecting a mix ch to be assigned to the encoder; a selected ch section 14 for adjusting a parameter of an assigned mix ch; and a mix cell key 13 for selecting a mix ch to be assigned to the selected ch section 14. While a link function is ON, in response to operation of the mix send select key, a selected mix ch is assigned to the encoder and the selected ch section 14. Furthermore, in response to operation of the mix cell key, a selected mix ch is assigned to the selected ch section 14 and the encoder. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To communicate the control data of external equipment related to audio signal processing via a communication network, such as LAN. SOLUTION: A mixer 100 is connected to a wireless microphone receiver 101 via LAN. In the mixer 100, a user designates a network address peculiar to a receiver 100 for the receiver 100, where the establishment of communication is desired via LAN, and a communication protocol used for allowing the receiver 100 to communicate the control data. The control data are communicated according to the designated communication protocol to the external equipment corresponding to the designated network address. In the mixer 100, the state of the receiver 100 is monitored based on the control data. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a power amplifier equipped with an arrangement for preventing concentration of in-rush current when power is turned on. SOLUTION: A storage 11 stores an arbitrary time interval Td after actuating a control unit 5 before starting power supply from an AC power supply to the power supply 6 for amplification. That time interval can be set differently from that of at least one of other power amplifiers used simultaneously with one power amplifier. The control unit 5 is actuated when a DC voltage is supplied from the power supply 7 for the control unit, and power is supplied to the power supply 6 for amplification upon elapsing the time interval Td stored in the storage 11 after start. In this regard, an in-rush current flows through an AC power supply line due to rapid charging of a smoothing capacitor included in the power supply 6 for amplification. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To automatically adjust an attenuator of a patch destination channel in response to gain adjustment of an input port. SOLUTION: The digital mixer includes a plurality of input ports whose gain is adjustable and a plurality of input channels for processing signals, and a signal of each input port is assigned to optional input channels via input patches. Each input channel is provided with the attenuator, which can control a level of the signal received at a concerned channel. The gain of the concerned input port is updated in response to gain adjustment of a certain input port (step S1), when an automatic gain adjustment function of an i-th input channel being a patch destination of the concerned input port k is activated (steps S2 to S4), the value of the attenuator of the i-th input channel is automatically adjusted to cancel a change in the gain (step S5). This processing is applied to all input channels being patch destinations of the input port k (steps S6, S7). COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a mixer apparatus capable of realizing a patch function and a scene data recording/calling function without causing unintended operation by a user even when the mixer apparatus is installed in a hall with a specialty wherein the number and the layout of output apparatuses are seldom revised. SOLUTION: In the mixer including: an insert function executing input and output for an insert point in a signal path of input output channels in addition to an input patch for assigning input ports and input channels and an output patch for assigning output ports and output channels; and a scene function for storing settings of the mixer as scene data and calling the data, the scene data includes assignment information of the input patch but includes no assignment information of the output patch. When reading of the scene data is instructed, an output port instructed by an insert patch of an input section of the scene data is detected and when it is not in use, the instructed assignment is executed.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a graphic equalizer control unit which acts a digital filter efficiently. SOLUTION: A controller 4 of a graphic equalizer splits filters of total 31 in a signal processing part 2 in a mode 2, and two graphic equalizers GEQ1 and GEQ2 are made to create as filters 21 1 -21 15 , filters 21 16 -21 31 . The number 15 of the digital filter is made fewer than the total 31 of bands. The controller 4 assigns 15 digital filters each dynamically band with which a level other than a reference level is directed by fader operating elements 14 1 -14 31 . The controller 4 makes to create one graphic equalizer GEQ1 to 31 digital filters 21 1 -21 31 in the signal processing part 2 in the mode 1. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To unify the value of a parameter concerned with a link among devices in which the corresponding link is set independently of the state of a master device when the link of the parameter is set. SOLUTION: When a link for sharing the value of a parameter to be used for controlling a digital mixer allowed to be cascade-connected to other digital mixers with the other connected digital mixers is set, the digital mixers in which links corresponding to the set link are set are retrieved successively from the most downstream digital mixer to the upstream side (S4, S5), and when a device in which a corresponding link is set is detected, the value of the parameter concerned with the link is acquired from the detected device (S6, S7) and the acquired value is set as the value of a parameter concerned with the link (S8).

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To execute automatically events such as scene recall of a digital mixer and to cope with quickly change of unexpected execution timing. SOLUTION: Each row of an event list 110 displayed on a dot matrix display part is provided with a scene display part 116 indicating an event to be executed and a trigger data display part 114 prescribing execution timing of the event. Each event is executed automatically in order of a list based on a time code, a cursor 118 is moved below for each execution. However, when a manual trigger button 120 is operated by an operator, the event about event data of a cursor position is executed. Then, in a row indicated as [*After 30.0sec] on the trigger data display part 114, execution timing is decided by a relative time for execution timing of a row existing at right above (but, * indicates an arrow mark facing to the upper direction).

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make many relative remote control software programs run, which can be plugged in musical software, in association with each other, when many software programs are installed in a personal computer. SOLUTION: At a track display part 220 in a music software window 200, the names of a plurality of tracks, information on an output port, etc., are displayed. At a start button part 222, start buttons are displayed by the tracks. When one of the start buttons is clicked with a mouse, remote control software for remotely controlling external equipment receiving playing information outputted from the output port is recognized, and a panel window for setting the state of the remote control software is displayed on a display.
