  • Parameter setting device
    Patent number: 7319765
    Abstract: A parameter setting device includes faders 15a to 15c to which a plurality of parameters are respectively allotted. The plural parameter values are respectively set in accordance with the operation positions of faders 15a to 15c. When scene selection switches 24 to 26 are operated, the plural parameter values are gradually changed in accordance with the lapse of time towards the final values represented by scene data. During this change of the parameter values, faders 15a to 15c are driven by a motor and move in correspondence with the parameter values. When invalidation switches 12a to 12c, 21 are operated during this movement of faders 15a to 15c, the movement of faders 15a to 15c is controlled to be stopped, and the parameter values are instantaneously changed to the final values according to the scene data.
