20080219477 | AUDIO DEVICE - In an audio device that has a port for connection and that constitutes an audio system together with at least one external device having a port for connection with the audio device via a communication line, a plurality of connection setting templates are previously prepared, which contain target port connection information specifying target destination ports to which the ports of the audio device and the external device that constitute the audio system should be connected. One of the connection setting templates is selected. Check is made to compare the target port connection information contained in the selected connection setting template with actual port connection information indicating actual destination ports to which respective ports of the audio device and the external device constituting the audio system are actually connected. | 09-11-2008 |
20080226099 | MIXING SYSTEM - Mixer and first and second engines are cascade-connected, and the second engine is connected to a speaker. In mode A, input signals to the first engine are output to the speaker via output channels of the second engine, and mixing operation of the first engine is performed via a console. Input signals to the second engine are output for monitoring via output channels of the first engine, and mixing control of the second engine is performed via a personal computer. In mode B, input signals to the second engine are output to the speaker via the output channels of the second engine, and mixing operation of the second engine is performed via the console. Input signals to the first engine are output for monitoring via the output channels of the first engine, and mixing control of the first engine is performed via the personal computer. | 09-18-2008 |
20080307249 | Digital mixing system with double arrangement for fail safe - A digital mixing system has a console having a display and an operator for transmitting and receiving a control signal, an engine having input channels and output channels for mixing a plurality of audio signals fed from the input channels while exchanging the control signal with the console and feeding the mixed audio signals to the output channels, and peripheral input and output units connected to the input and output channels of the engine, respectively. The console and the engine are located remotely from each other, and a cable connecting therebetween is duplicated for the purpose of fail safe. The engine may be installed in pair. If a main engine fails, a sub engine backs up instantly to continue the mixing operation. The console may be also prepared in pair for the purpose of fail safe. | 12-11-2008 |
20100034400 | Control Data Generation Device and Method - Control data is generated in response to generation, from a position detector, of position data in accordance with a predetermined scale characteristic. Change scale characteristic is applied in manual operation performed immediately after an operation member has been automatically positioned to a target position. In the change scale characteristic, a start point is established such that control data, corresponding to the target position, of the predetermined scale characteristic is outputted in correspondence with the position data outputted at the time of completion of the positioning, but also a first change portion, including a portion extending from a position of the start point at least up to the target position, is established, so that the control data outputted in correspondence with the position data output gradually varies from data corresponding to the start point to data of the predetermined scale characteristic corresponding to an end point of the first change portion. | 02-11-2010 |
20100244738 | AUDIO MIXING CONSOLE CAPABLE OF ADJUSTING BRIGHTNESS OF LED OPERATOR, AND METHOD OF OPERATING THE SAME - An audio mixing console includes a brightness adjusting mode selection button and an adjustment subject specification button. A user operates the brightness adjusting mode selection button to set up a brightness adjusting mode, and operates the adjustment subject specification button to specify any color LED of RGB or all colors as an adjustment subject. When an LED button is operated, brightness of an LED of a color of an adjustment subject in a multicolor LED unit incorporated in the LED button is increased one step by one step. In another example, in response to an operation of a button, brightness of an LED of a color of the adjustment subject in the multicolor LED unit incorporated in a plurality of LED buttons other than this button is increased one step by one step. This work is carried out for every LED and LED button. | 09-30-2010 |
20100305728 | AUDIO DEVICE - An audio device is composed of a digital processor and a communication interface. The digital signal processor performs a mixer process on a plurality of mix buses for mixing audio signals from a plurality of input channels and outputting the mixed signals to output channels and performs a signal process for controlling characteristics of audio signals. The digital signal processor performs the mixer process by means of a cross point process for controlling a level of an audio signal and adding the audio signal having the controlled level to a corresponding mix bus. The digital signal processor is provided with resources for enabling a plurality of cross point processes when an external audio device is connected to the audio device through the communication interface, the digital signal processor exchanges outputs of a plurality of mix buses with the external audio device and performs the mixer process on outputs of the plurality of mix buses received from the external audio device, as new mix buses, by means of cross point processes available among the plurality of cross point processes provided for the digital signal processor, thereby extending a number of mix buses. | 12-02-2010 |
20120039488 | LEVEL ADJUSTMENT DEVICE - It is possible to enable automatic on/off switching of a pad and to prevent frequent occurrence of on/off switching of a pad even when a user carries out fine manipulation. A level adjustment device includes a pad which attenuates a signal by a predetermined level, an amplifier which is provided at the back of the pad to adjust the level of the signal with a variable amplification rate or attenuation rate, and a level adjustment unit which, when the pad is off, uses only the amplifier and, when the pad is on, uses the amplifier and the pad to adjust the level of the acoustic signal. The setting of a level adjustment value by the level adjustment unit is received, when the level adjustment value reaches a predetermined switching point Tsw, the on/off of the pad is switched, and when an instruction is issued to start a performance mode, the value of the switching point Tsw is changed so as to be away from the level adjustment value at the point of time of the instruction. | 02-16-2012 |
20140376748 | AUDIO SIGNAL PROCESSING SYSTEM - While level of the inputted analog signal is adjusted according to a set analog gain value and then analog-digital converted and outputted, when an automatic compensation is on and a difference of the analog gain value and a target value is compensated by level adjustment in a digital amplifier, the analog gain value is displayed by a gain knob, and in response to an operation to turn on the automatic compensation, a present value of the analog gain value at that time is displayed as a target gain value by a mark near the analog gain value, and in response to an operation to turn off the automatic compensation, display of the target gain value is erased. | 12-25-2014 |
