Abstract: Disclosed is an apparatus for setting a target position using a GUI screen. The apparatus includes a display that displays a representation of a listener and a representation of a hemispherical dome with the listener at the center as projected on a horizontal plane. A user sets a radius of the hemispherical dome through a click operation of a mouse and sets a target position of a sound image with respect to the listener through a drag operation toward the center. The sound image position is represented by a dot O. The dot O represents a position of the sound image with respect to the listener in the left-to-right direction, in the front-to-rear direction, and in the height direction.

Abstract: A desired range of an audio file is repeatedly reproduced without a need to store sound data of a predetermined period in a memory in advance and without causing an interruption or a time lag. A CPU of an audio device activates at least two media players A and B for reproducing an audio file. During reproduction of the audio file by the media player A, the media player B is set to a wait state, and, in response to completion of the reproduction of the audio file by the media player A, the wait state of the media player B is automatically released and reproduction of the audio file is started, to achieve repeat reproduction.

Abstract: A control device is provided which mixes and records two types of audio signals processed under standards different from each other; in particular, an audio signal of ASIO standard and an audio signal of WDM standard. An audio interface is connected to a computer, and an audio signal is input to the computer. A mixer module of the computer mixes an audio signal which is effect-processed by an ASIO application and an audio signal reproduced by a WDM application, and outputs the mixed audio signal to the audio interface and to the WDM application for sound recording. The user operates a screen displayed on an operation panel to switch between presence and absence of effect process and presence and absence of mixing.

Abstract: An apparatus in which a user can easily check that an appropriate audio file is assigned to an immediate output switch. A system includes a PC connected to a communication line, and an audio interface apparatus connected to the PC and having an immediate output switch that outputs, in response to a user operation and to the PC, a reproduction start instruction signal of an audio file which is assigned in advance. The PC judges whether or not the assignment is normal when an audio file is assigned by a user operation, and displays a judgment result in association with a virtual switch displayed on a display corresponding to the immediate output switch.

A system includes a PC connected to a communication line, and an audio interface apparatus that has an immediate output switch that outputs, to the PC, a reproduction start instruction signal of an audio file which is assigned in advance in response to a user operation. The PC judges, when an audio file or a video file is assigned by a user operation and in the background, whether or not the assignment is normal, and displays a judgment result in association with a virtual switch displayed on the display corresponding to the immediate output switch. The judgment is also repeatedly executed in the background at a predetermined timing after the assignment, and when the assignment is not normal, this is displayed.

Abstract: An apparatus and a system are provided in which a user can easily check that an appropriate audio file is assigned to an immediate output switch. The system includes a PC connected to a communication line, and an audio interface apparatus connected to the PC and having an immediate output switch for outputting, to the PC and in response to a user operation, a reproduction start instruction signal of an audio file which is assigned in advance. The PC judges whether or not assignment is normal when the audio file is assigned by a user operation, and supplies a judgment result to the audio interface apparatus. The audio interface apparatus receives the judgment result, and notifies, to the user and prior to a user operation, the judgment result in association with the immediate output switch.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus capable of easily adjusting parameter values of operation elements by multi-touch operation. Operation elements are displayed on a touch panel. A CPU detects a touch on a first operation element, like a first fader, as a first touch. When detecting a touch on a second element, like a second fader, as a second touch while the first touch is maintained, the CPU reflects a parameter value set on the first operation element onto a parameter value of the second operation element.

Abstract: A device is provided which adds a desired delay (echo) effect while suppressing increase in the cost with a simple structure. A CPU of an audio device activates a plurality of media players A, B, C, . . . for reproducing an audio file. The audio file is reproduced as an original sound by one of the plurality of media players, and a delay sound with respect to the original sound of the audio file is reproduced by another media player, and is added to the original sound.

Abstract: A control device is provided which mixes and records two types of audio signals processed under standards different from each other; in particular an audio signal of ASIO standard and an audio signal of WDM standard. An audio interface is connected to a computer, and an audio signal is input to the computer. A mixer module of the computer mixes an audio signal effect-processed by an ASIO application and an audio signal reproduced by a WDM application, outputs the mixed audio signal to the audio interface, and to the WDM application, and records the sound. The mixer module automatically switches between presence/absence of the effect process and between presence/absence of mixing according to a mode which is set in an operation panel.

Abstract: An edit processing apparatus for enhancing user operability. The edit processing apparatus has an output device for displaying a target to be edited; and a CPU that displays on the output device edit menus for the target in accordance with a relative positional relationship between a position of the target and a cursor position on the output device and a frequency of selection made at the cursor position in the past.
