1. A method comprising:
- generating at least two sensor input parameters from a plurality of sensors, where the at least two sensor input parameters are different types of sensor input parameters;
generating by a control processor at least one control parameter dependent on the at least two sensor input parameters;
selecting a control parameter modifying mode by a context processor from a plurality of control parameter modifying modes, where at least one of the modes is configured to have the at least one control parameter from the control processor modified, and where the selecting of the control parameter modifying mode by the context processor is based, at least partially, upon an input from at least one of the plurality of sensors;
processing at least one audio signal dependent on the generated at least one control parameter and the selected control parameter modifying mode, wherein processing the at least one audio signal comprises beamforming the at least one audio signal; and
outputting the processed at least one audio signal associated with the selected control parameter modifying mode.
