Mixing console with touch panels for managing user-defined keys
First Claim
1. A mixing console comprising:
- a first display having a first touch screen area;
a second display, physically separate from the first display, the second display having a second touch screen area;
a microprocessor programmed to execute a display control task that displays in the second touch screen area a plurality of first user-defined keys, a bank switch key, and an edit key; and
a plurality of second user-defined hardware keys arranged adjacent to the second touch screen area, and aligned with the first user-defined keyswherein the microprocessor is further programmed to execute a processing task that;
in response to a manipulation of one of the first or second user-defined keys, executes a function assigned to the one manipulated user-defined key; and
in response to a manipulation of the bank switch key for switching a bank to a different bank, assigns functions provided by the different bank to the first user-defined keys and the second user-defined keys; and
in response to a manipulation of the edit key, displays on the first touch screen area, a key setup screen on which at least a desired display size of the first user-defined key is specified.

Abstract
On a sub-display 14c, a plurality of first user-defined keys 53, bank switch keys 51 and an edit key 52 which are software keys are displayed. Immediately below the sub-display 14c, second user-defined keys 50a to 50d which are hardware keys arranged as if the arrangement of the first user-defined keys 53 were extended are provided. The sub-display 14c also displays user-definition name areas 54 for displaying respective names of user-definitions assigned to the second user-defined keys 50a to 50d. By a manipulation of one of the user-defined keys, a function assigned to the manipulated user-defined key is executed. By a manipulation of the edit key 52, a setup screen on which the display size and the like of the first user-defined key are specified is displayed on a separate main display 14a, 14b.
