Patent number: 8548616Abstract: A digital audio device has a plurality of input ports that are provided with a plurality of digital audio signals. A plurality of extraction parts extract a clock signal from the digital audio signal, when the clock signal is superimposed in the digital audio signal provided to corresponding input ports. A first selection part selects the extracted clock signal as a word clock when the clock signal is extracted by any one of the plurality of the extraction parts. A frequency storage part stores a frequency of the clock signal selected by the first selection part. An internal clock generator outputs a clock signal having a frequency as specified. A second selection part selects the clock signal output from the internal clock generator as a word clock when no clock signal is extracted by the plurality of the extraction parts, the frequency of the clock signal output from the internal clock generator being set to the frequency stored in the frequency storage part.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 2010Date of Patent: October 1, 2013Inventors: Takaaki Makino, Mitsutaka Gotoh, Akio Suyama

Patent number: 8401680Abstract: When any one of a plurality of amplifiers has been selected in response to amplifier selecting operation, an amplifier Detail View of the selected amplifier is displayed, where corresponding parameters are displayed via elements of the amplifier Detail View. When any one of a plurality of groups has been selected in response to group selecting operation, a group Detail View of the selected group is displayed, where maximum and minimum values detected from among values of a parameter of individual amplifiers of the selected group are displayed via a band-shaped element of a corresponding fader element. In another example, where a hierarchical group is selected in a tree display section on a control screen, respective state information, including parameter values or states of parameters, of a plurality of amplifiers belonging to the selected hierarchical group is displayed in a state information section.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2008Date of Patent: March 19, 2013Assignee: Yamaha CorporationInventors: Takaaki Muto, Ken Iwayama, Takaaki Makino, Naohide Kohyama, Akihiko Suyama

Patent number: 7684573Abstract: Fader operators operable manually and automatically are provided in corresponding relation to a plurality of channels. For each of the channels, a setting section can set a fade operation mode of the channel to either a first mode where a fade is enabled or a second mode where the fade is disabled. Upon receipt of a crossfade execution instruction, a corresponding fader operator is automatically operated in such a manner that each channel set in the first mode is faded in or faded out. When the fade operation mode of a given channel, which is undergoing a fade process, has been changed to the second mode, the fade process for the given channel is ceased, and the corresponding operator is changed to a predetermined operating state, e.g., state immediately before the start of the crossfade. According to another example, when a crossfade cease instruction has been given (e.g.Type: GrantFiled: May 6, 2005Date of Patent: March 23, 2010Assignee: Yamaha CorporationInventors: Takaaki Makino, Takuya Yamamoto

Publication number: 20050054305Abstract: A multi-channel signal controlled variable setting apparatus which can easily set signal controlled variables for a group of input channels while balancing the signal controlled variable between the channels in the group. A plurality of channel-by-channel faders set volume levels of respective ones of a plurality of channels according to operated amounts. A fader group assignment operating element selects arbitrary channels and assigns a group to the selected channels. A fader group setting element sets a group by bringing together the selected arbitrary channels. A plurality of group master faders corresponding to respective ones of the groups set the volume levels of the respective ones of the groups according to operated amounts. A group volume level assigning section assigns the volume levels of the respective ones of the groups to the channels according to the operated amounts of respective ones of the group master faders.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 3, 2004Publication date: March 10, 2005Applicant: YAMAHA CORPORATIONInventors: Hideki Hagiwara, Takaaki Makino
