Abstract: An acoustic device includes a touch panel for detecting a user's touch operation, a value setting section for setting a parameter value based on the touch operation detected by the touch panel, and an output control section for processing an inputted audio based on the parameter value set by the value setting section and outputting the processed audio. The value setting section sets the parameter value in accordance with a moving direction and a moving speed of a touch position from a start point that is the touch position on the touch panel at a start of the touch operation to an end point that is the touch position at an end of the touch operation.
Abstract: An audio device being a mobile terminal includes: a playback unit configured to play back music data; a display configured to display an operation element for accepting a user operation related to playback setting with respect to the music data; a touch panel provided on a surface of the display and configured to accept the user operation; and a playback controller configured to decide a kind of the playback setting related to a playback position in the music data, which is based on a timing at which a contact is started or based on a timing at which the contact is finished with the touch panel corresponding to the operation element displayed on the display, based on a direction of a change in the contact position on the touch panel from the timing at which the contact is started to the timing at which the contact is finished.
Abstract: An acoustic device includes a rotary operator and a base supporting the rotary operator so that the rotary operator is rotatable. The rotary operator includes a rotary body provided on the base, a pressed portion provided on the rotary body and on which a pressing operation is performed, a press detecting unit provided on the rotary body along an outer circumference of the rotary operator and configured to detect the pressing operation performed on the pressed portion, and elastic members interposed between the pressed portion and the press detecting unit.
Abstract: A music piece analyzer includes: a key candidate determiner configured to analyze music data to determine a plurality of key candidates; and a key selector configured to extract each one of the plurality of key candidates, detect keys corresponding to related keys from among remaining ones of the plurality of key candidates supposing that the extracted one of the plurality of key candidates is a main key, on each extracted one of the plurality of key candidates, calculate a related key score in accordance with the number of the keys corresponding to the related keys, and select a key of a music piece in accordance with the related key score from among the plurality of key candidates.
Abstract: Audio equipment configured to perform a special operation or an effecting on music data being played by an external device includes: an operation control signal group storage configured to store an operation control signal group for commanding the special operation or the effecting for the music data; an operation control signal group calling section configured to call up the operation control signal group stored in the operation control signal group storage at a timing in accordance with an operation by an operator; and an operation control signal group outputting section configured to output the operation control signal group called by the operation control signal group calling section to the external device.
Abstract: An acoustic device includes: a first display unit; a second display unit; an operation unit configured to receive a user's operation; a judging unit configured to judge a type of the operation performed on the operation unit; and a display controller configured to, in response to the type of the operation determined by the judging unit, change display contents of the first display unit to display contents corresponding to the type of the operation and display on the second display unit at least a part of the display contents having been displayed on the first display unit.
Abstract: An acoustic device includes a rotary operator and a base supporting the rotary operator so that the rotary operator is rotatable. The base includes a braking unit configured to be brought into contact with the rotary operator to cause a braking force to act on the rotary operator and an adjuster configured to adjust the braking force caused by the braking unit. The braking unit includes a plurality of contact members configured to be brought into contact with the rotary operator to cause the braking force to act on the rotary operator. The braking force acting on the rotary operator by the plurality of the contact members varies depending on an adjustment amount by the adjuster.
Abstract: An acoustic device includes: a music player that is capable of simultaneously playing a plurality of music pieces of which music piece data includes specific playback positions set therefor; a playback speed adjusting section configured to adjust a playback speed of each of the music pieces; a music piece switching section configured to execute switching from a first music piece being played by the music player to a second music piece; and a playback position adjusting section configured to execute adjustment such that the specific playback position of the second music piece is aligned on a time axis with the specific playback position of the first music piece being played at a playback speed adjusted by the playback speed adjusting section.
Abstract: There is provided audio equipment that enables power supply and signal connection to a rotary operation unit in a non-contact manner. The audio equipment includes: the rotary operation unit rotatably supported in relation to an equipment body; an operation detecting section provided for the rotary operation unit and in which an electric load changes in response to a pressing operation; a power supplying section provided for the equipment body and configured to supply power to the operation detecting section in a non-contact manner; and a monitoring section configured to monitor the power supplied by the power supplying section to detect the user's operation from a change in the power.
