Abstract

Once a parameter is focused and defined as a target parameter on a main display, a utility area S-2 provided on a sub-display 14c displays a numeric keypad 56 which is a screen for inputting a value of the target parameter. The numeric keypad 56 varies depending on the type of a target parameter. When a user touches the numeric keypad 56 to input a value, the target parameter is updated with the input value.

Claims

1. A mixing console comprising:

a first display portion which has a touch panel capability and displays sets of parameters, the sets relating to respective channels;

a selector which determines a parameter which is a target parameter to control, by detecting a touch of the first display portion to select the parameter corresponding to the touch from among the plurality of parameters displayed on the first display portion, and detecting a manipulation of an operating element for selecting a channel to select a channel corresponding to the manipulated operating element from among the channels;

a second display portion which has a touch panel capability and displays at all times a screen on which, in a case where the target parameter has been determined by the selector, a value relating to the parameter is input, and whose manner of inputting the value varies according to the type of the target parameter determined by the selector;

a first editor which allows editing of the parameters displayed on the first display portion, independently of what is displayed on the second display portion; and

a second editor which updates, in a case where the value relating to the target parameter has been input on the screen displayed on the second display portion, the parameter defined as the target parameter with the input value.

2. A mixing console according to claim 1, wherein

the screen which is displayed on the second display portion, and on which the value is input is a screen for inputting a numeric value.

3. A mixing console according to claim 1, wherein

the screen which is displayed on the second display portion, and on which the value is input is a two-dimensional screen for controlling pan position.
