パラメータ設定装置、パラメータ設定方法およびパラメータ設定プログラムParameter setting device, parameter setting method and parameter setting program
　本発明は、操作子に任意の機能を設定できるパラメータ設定装置、パラメータ設定方法およびパラメータ設定プログラムに関する。 The present invention relates to a parameter setting device, a parameter setting method, and a parameter setting program that can set an arbitrary function on an operator.
　放送局、レコーディングスタジオまたはコンサート会場等では、各種楽器またはボーカル等の音声信号を加工して、様々な音声トラック形式へ出力するためのミキシングコンソールが使用される。ミキシングコンソールは、多くの信号に対して様々な制御（信号処理）を行う必要があるため、操作パネルには多数の操作子が配設されている。この多数の操作子のなかには、ユーザが自由に機能を割り当てることができる操作子がある。 In broadcasting stations, recording studios, concert venues, etc., mixing consoles are used for processing audio signals of various instruments or vocals and outputting them to various audio track formats. Since the mixing console needs to perform various controls (signal processing) for many signals, a large number of operators are arranged on the operation panel. Among these many operators, there are operators that a user can freely assign functions to.
　操作子に機能が割り当てられた場合、操作子に割り当てた機能をユーザが確認できることが望まれる。例えば、特許文献１には、操作キーに指等が接近したときに、そのキーの機能等を音声案内する操作案内装置が開示されている。 When a function is assigned to an operator, it is desirable that the user can confirm the function assigned to the operator. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses an operation guidance device that provides voice guidance of a function of a key or the like when a finger or the like approaches the operation key.
国際公開第1995/20187号International Publication No. 1995/20187
　しかしながら、ミキシングコンソールは音楽等が流れる環境内で使用されるため、特許文献１のように、操作子に割り当てられた機能を音声で案内しても、ユーザは、それを把握できないことがある。 However, since the mixing console is used in an environment in which music or the like flows, even if the functions assigned to the controls are guided by voice as in Patent Document 1, the user may not be able to grasp it.

　本発明に係るパラメータ設定装置は、表示部と、任意の機能が割り当てられた操作子と、前記操作子への物体の近接または接触を検知するセンサと、前記センサが物体の近接または接触を検知すると、前記操作子に割り当てられた機能の情報を前記表示部へ表示する表示制御部と、を備えることを特徴とする。 A parameter setting device according to the present invention includes a display unit, an operation element to which an arbitrary function is assigned, a sensor that detects the proximity or contact of an object to the operation element, and the sensor detects the proximity or contact of the object. Then, the display control part which displays the information of the function allocated to the said operation element on the said display part is provided, It is characterized by the above-mentioned.
　この構成では、ユーザが、例えば指を操作子に近づけることで、その操作子に割り当てられた情報が表示部に表示される。これにより、ユーザは、操作子に割り当てられた機能を視覚的に把握できる。 In this configuration, for example, when the user brings a finger close to the operation element, information assigned to the operation element is displayed on the display unit. Thereby, the user can visually grasp the function assigned to the operator.
　本発明によれば、ユーザは、操作子に割り当てられた機能を視覚的に把握できる。 According to the present invention, the user can visually grasp the function assigned to the operator.

　図２は、ミキシングコンソール１の操作パネル１０を示す図である。 FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the operation panel 10 of the mixing console 1.
　操作パネル１０には、表示部１２と、タッチパネル１３と、複数の操作子１４Ａ、１４Ｂ、１４Ｃ、１４Ｄ、１４Ｅ、１４Ｆ、１４Ｇ、１４Ｈと、複数のセンサ１５Ａ、１５Ｂ、１５Ｃ、１５Ｄ、１５Ｅ、１５Ｆ、１５Ｇ、１５Ｈとが設けられている。表示部１２と、複数の操作子１４Ａ～１４Ｈとは、図２に示すように近くに配置されてもよいし、離れて配置されてもよい。 The operation panel 10 includes a display unit 12, a touch panel 13, a plurality of operators 14A, 14B, 14C, 14D, 14E, 14F, 14G, and 14H, and a plurality of sensors 15A, 15B, 15C, 15D, 15E, and 15F. , 15G, and 15H. The display unit 12 and the plurality of operators 14A to 14H may be arranged close to each other as shown in FIG. 2, or may be arranged apart from each other.
　図２では、操作子１４Ａ～１４Ｈはプッシュボタンとしている。操作子１４Ａ～１４Ｈはそれぞれ各種機能が割り当てられている。各操作子に割り当てる機能は、表示部１２に表示されるアサイン画面に従って、ユーザが自由に変更できる。 In FIG. 2, the operators 14A to 14H are push buttons. Various functions are assigned to the operators 14A to 14H, respectively. The function assigned to each operator can be freely changed by the user according to the assignment screen displayed on the display unit 12.
　図３は、操作子１４Ａ～１４Ｈそれぞれに機能を割り当てるアサイン画面の一例を示す。アサイン画面は、操作子１４Ａ～１４Ｈそれぞれにどの機能を割り当てるかを設定する画面である。例えば、機能を割り当てたい操作子を選択した後、アサイン画面に表示される「Function」欄、「Parameter 1」欄、「Parameter 2」欄から、設定したい各パラメータを順次選択していくことで、選択した操作子への割り当て設定を行う。この図では、操作子１４Ａに対して、「MIDI」、「NOTE ON」、「NOTEON D-2(1)」のパラメータを割り当てる例を示す。なお、一つの操作子に対して、複数の機能を割り当ててもよい。 FIG. 3 shows an example of an assignment screen for assigning a function to each of the operators 14A to 14H. The assignment screen is a screen for setting which function is assigned to each of the operators 14A to 14H. For example, after selecting the operator you want to assign a function to, select each parameter you want to set from the `` Function '', `` Parameter 1 '', and `` Parameter 2 '' fields displayed on the assignment screen. Set the assignment to the selected controller. This figure shows an example in which parameters “MIDI”, “NOTE ON”, and “NOTEON D-2 (1)” are assigned to the operator 14A. A plurality of functions may be assigned to one operator.
　図２に戻り、操作子１４Ａ、１４Ｂ、１４Ｃ、１４Ｄ、１４Ｅ、１４Ｆ、１４Ｇ、１４Ｈそれぞれには、センサ１５Ａ、１５Ｂ、１５Ｃ、１５Ｄ、１５Ｅ、１５Ｆ、１５Ｇ、１５Ｈが設けられている。センサ１５Ａ～１５Ｈは、ユーザによる操作子１４Ａ～１４Ｈへの操作を検知する。 Returning to FIG. 2, the sensors 15A, 15B, 15C, 15D, 15E, 15F, 15G, and 15H are provided in the operators 14A, 14B, 14C, 14D, 14E, 14F, 14G, and 14H, respectively. The sensors 15A to 15H detect operations on the operators 14A to 14H by the user.
　なお、図２では、センサ１５Ａ～１５Ｈは、操作子１４Ａ～１４Ｈに設けられた例を示しているが、ユーザによる操作子１４Ａ～１４Ｈへの操作を検知できれば、操作子１４Ａ～１４Ｈの近傍に設けられてもよい。また、どのセンサが、どの操作子へのユーザの指を検知するかが、テーブルなどによって関連付けられている。そのテーブルはＲＯＭ等に記憶される。さらに、複数の操作子いずれかへのユーザの指の検知を、一のセンサで行えるようにしてもよい。 FIG. 2 shows an example in which the sensors 15A to 15H are provided on the operators 14A to 14H. However, if the operation of the operators 14A to 14H by the user can be detected, the sensors 15A to 15H are located near the operators 14A to 14H. It may be provided. Further, which sensor detects which user's finger to which operator is associated by a table or the like. The table is stored in a ROM or the like. Furthermore, the user's finger may be detected by any one of the plurality of operators with a single sensor.
　表示部１２は、図３のアサイン画面等、種々の操作画面を表示する。また、表示部１２は、１４Ａ、１４Ｂ、１４Ｃ、１４Ｄ、１４Ｅ、１４Ｆ、１４Ｇ、１４Ｈそれぞれの割り当て情報１４１、１４２、１４３、１４４、１４５、１４６、１４７、１４８を表示する。例えば、センサ１５Ａ～１５Ｈがユーザの指の接近（または接触）を検知すると、表示部１２には、操作子１４Ａ～１４Ｈそれぞれの割り当て情報１４１～１４８を表示する。このとき、表示部１２に別の画面が表示されていても、割り当て情報１４１～１４８の表示に切り替える。また、割り当て情報１４１～１４８は、操作子１４Ａ～１４Ｈと同じ配置で表示される。 The display unit 12 displays various operation screens such as the assignment screen of FIG. The display unit 12 displays the allocation information 141, 142, 143, 144, 145, 146, 147, and 148 for each of 14A, 14B, 14C, 14D, 14E, 14F, 14G, and 14H. For example, when the sensors 15A to 15H detect the approach (or contact) of the user's finger, the allocation information 141 to 148 for each of the operators 14A to 14H is displayed on the display unit 12. At this time, even if another screen is displayed on the display unit 12, the display is switched to the display of the allocation information 141 to 148. Also, the allocation information 141 to 148 is displayed in the same arrangement as the operators 14A to 14H.
　また、指の接近（または接触）を検知したセンサに対応する操作子の割り当て情報は、他とは異なる態様で強調して表示する。例えば、表示色を変えてもよいし、表示濃度を変えてもよい。図２に示す例では、センサ１５Ｆがユーザの指を検知した例である。この場合、センサ１５Ｆに対応する操作子１４Ｆの割り当て情報１４６は、他と異なる態様で表示されている。 In addition, the assignment information of the operation element corresponding to the sensor that detects the approach (or contact) of the finger is highlighted and displayed in a manner different from the others. For example, the display color may be changed or the display density may be changed. In the example illustrated in FIG. 2, the sensor 15F detects the user's finger. In this case, the assignment information 146 of the operation element 14F corresponding to the sensor 15F is displayed in a mode different from the others.
　このように、ユーザが操作子１４Ａ～１４Ｈを操作しようとすると、表示部１２に割り当て情報１４１～１４８が表示されることで、ユーザは、各操作子１４Ａ～１４Ｈに割り当てられた機能を表示部１２上で視覚的に把握できる。これにより、操作子１４Ａ～１４Ｈにどの機能が割り当てられたかが分からず、ミキシングコンソール１をスムーズに操作できなくなるといった問題を回避できる。また、ユーザが自由に機能を割り当てられるため、別のユーザによって操作子１４Ａ～１４Ｈそれぞれに機能が既に割り当てられた状態であっても、現在使用中のユーザは、既存の割り当て状況を瞬時に把握できる。 As described above, when the user tries to operate the operating elements 14A to 14H, the allocation information 141 to 148 is displayed on the display unit 12, so that the user can display the functions allocated to the operating elements 14A to 14H. 12 can be visually grasped. As a result, it is not known which function is assigned to the operators 14A to 14H, and the problem that the mixing console 1 cannot be operated smoothly can be avoided. In addition, since the user can freely assign the function, even if the function is already assigned to each of the operators 14A to 14H by another user, the user currently in use can grasp the existing assignment status instantly. it can.
　さらに、ユーザの指を検知したセンサに対応する操作子の割り当て情報が強調表示されることで、ユーザは、自身が操作しようとする操作子の機能を把握できる。また、操作子１４Ａ～１４Ｈの配置に合わせて割り当て情報１４１～１４８を表示することで、ユーザは、操作子１４Ａ～１４Ｈのブラインド操作が可能となる。 Furthermore, the operator assignment information corresponding to the sensor that detected the user's finger is highlighted, so that the user can grasp the function of the operator that the user wants to operate. Further, by displaying the allocation information 141 to 148 in accordance with the arrangement of the operators 14A to 14H, the user can perform a blind operation of the operators 14A to 14H.
　図４は、操作子に機能を割り当てる際の処理を示すフローチャートである。 FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing a process for assigning a function to an operator.
　制御部１１は、図３に示すアサイン画面を表示部１２に表示する（Ｓ１）。アサイン画面に従ってユーザにより対応付けの設定が行われると、制御部１１は、例えば、どの操作子が、どの機能に対応付けられているかを示す対応テーブルを生成して、記憶するアサイン処理を実行する（Ｓ２）。その後、ユーザによるアサインの終了操作、例えば、図３におけるＯＫボタンまたはＣＡＮＣＥＬボタンを押されることにより、当該アサイン処理が終了される。 The control unit 11 displays the assignment screen shown in FIG. 3 on the display unit 12 (S1). When the setting of the association is performed by the user according to the assignment screen, the control unit 11 generates an association table indicating, for example, which operator is associated with which function, and executes an assignment process for storing the correspondence table. (S2). After that, the assigning operation by the user is terminated by, for example, pressing the OK button or the CANCEL button in FIG.
　図５は、センサがユーザの指を検知する際の処理を示すフローチャートである。 FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing processing when the sensor detects the user's finger.
　センサ１５Ａ～１５Ｈがユーザの指の接近（または接触）を検知したか否かを判定する（Ｓ１１）。ユーザの指を検知しない場合（Ｓ１１：ＮＯ）、制御部１１は、センサ１５Ａ～１５Ｈがユーザの指の接近（または接触）を検知するまで待機する。 It is determined whether or not the sensors 15A to 15H detect the approach (or contact) of the user's finger (S11). When the user's finger is not detected (S11: NO), the control unit 11 waits until the sensors 15A to 15H detect the approach (or contact) of the user's finger.
　センサ１５Ａ～１５Ｈがユーザの指の接近（または接触）を検知した場合（Ｓ１１：ＹＥＳ）、制御部１１は、操作子１４Ａ～１４Ｈそれぞれの割り当て情報１４１～１４８（図２参照）を表示部１２に表示する（Ｓ１２）。そして、制御部１１は、ユーザの指の接近（または接触）を検知したセンサに対応する操作子の割り当て情報を強調表示する（Ｓ１３）。 When the sensors 15A to 15H detect the approach (or contact) of the user's finger (S11: YES), the control unit 11 displays the assignment information 141 to 148 (see FIG. 2) of the operators 14A to 14H, respectively, on the display unit 12. (S12). And the control part 11 highlights the allocation information of the operation element corresponding to the sensor which detected the approach (or contact) of a user's finger | toe (S13).
　制御部１１は、センサ１５Ａ～１５Ｈのいずれもが一定時間、ユーザの指の接近（または接触）を検知していないか否かを判定する（Ｓ１４）。センサ１５Ａ～１５Ｈがユーザの指の接近（または接触）を検知している場合（Ｓ１４：ＮＯ）、制御部１１はＳ１３の処理を行う。つまり、制御部１１は、ユーザの指の接近（または接触）を検知したセンサに対応する操作子の割り当て情報を強調表示する。一定時間、センサ１５Ａ～１５Ｈがユーザの指の接近（または接触）を検知していない場合（Ｓ１４；ＹＥＳ）、制御部１１は、表示部１２に表示した割り当て情報１４１～１４８を非表示にする（Ｓ１５）。このとき、割り当て情報１４１～１４８の表示態様を変更するようにしてもよい。また、ユーザの指が操作子へ非近接の場合、近接している場合、および、接触している場合とで、割り当て情報の表現態様を３段階に変化させるようにしてもよい。ここで、表示態様とは、表示物の色、明るさ、大きさ、または、表示物の色、明るさ、大きさの時間変化を含む。さらに、表示態様とは、表示を終了すること、すなわち、非表示にすることを含む。 The control unit 11 determines whether any of the sensors 15A to 15H has detected the approach (or contact) of the user's finger for a certain time (S14). When the sensors 15A to 15H detect the approach (or contact) of the user's finger (S14: NO), the control unit 11 performs the process of S13. That is, the control unit 11 highlights the assignment information of the operator corresponding to the sensor that detects the approach (or contact) of the user's finger. When the sensors 15A to 15H do not detect the approach (or contact) of the user's finger for a certain time (S14; YES), the control unit 11 hides the allocation information 141 to 148 displayed on the display unit 12. (S15). At this time, the display mode of the allocation information 141 to 148 may be changed. Moreover, you may make it change the expression aspect of allocation information in three steps according to the case where a user's finger | toe is not adjacent to an operation element, the case where it is approaching, and the case where it is contacting. Here, the display mode includes the color, brightness, and size of the display object, or changes over time in the color, brightness, and size of the display object. Furthermore, the display mode includes ending display, that is, not displaying.
　なお、本実施形態では、ユーザが機能を割り当てられる操作子が複数ある場合について説明したが、操作子は一つであってもよい。また、操作子が複数の場合、図２に示すように、複数の操作子それぞれの割り当て情報を表示部１２に表示しているが、表示部１２には、ユーザの指を検知したセンサに対応する操作子の割り当て情報のみを表示するようにしてもよい。この場合、現在表示中の画面から切り替えずに、表示部１２の画面の隅等にポップアップ形式で割り当て情報を表示するようにしてもよい。 In the present embodiment, a case has been described where there are a plurality of operators to which a user can be assigned a function, but there may be one operator. In addition, when there are a plurality of operators, as shown in FIG. 2, the allocation information of each of the operators is displayed on the display unit 12, but the display unit 12 corresponds to the sensor that detects the user's finger. Only the operator assignment information to be displayed may be displayed. In this case, the assignment information may be displayed in a pop-up format at the corner of the screen of the display unit 12 without switching from the currently displayed screen.
　また、図２では、複数の操作子それぞれの割り当て情報を表示部１２に表示しているが、一部の割り当て情報のみを表示してもよい。 In FIG. 2, the allocation information of each of the plurality of operators is displayed on the display unit 12, but only a part of the allocation information may be displayed.
　図６は、複数の操作子それぞれの割り当て情報の一部を表示部１２に表示する場合の例を示す図である。 FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an example in which a part of the allocation information of each of the plurality of operators is displayed on the display unit 12.
　この例では、操作パネル１０には、表示部１２と、回転操作子群２７が設けられている。操作子群２７は、複数の物理的な操作子からなる。また、各操作子には、ユーザの指の接近または接触を検知するセンサが設けられている。この場合において、一の操作子２７１に設けられたセンサが、ユーザの指の接近または接触を検知したとする。このとき、表示部１２には、操作子２７１の割り当て情報１５１が表示される。これと共に、操作子２７１に隣接する周囲の操作子２７２、２７３、２７４、２７５それぞれの割り当て情報１５２、１５３、１５４、１５５も表示部１２に表示される。 In this example, the operation panel 10 is provided with a display unit 12 and a rotary operator group 27. The operator group 27 includes a plurality of physical operators. Each operator is provided with a sensor for detecting the approach or contact of the user's finger. In this case, it is assumed that a sensor provided on one operation element 271 detects the approach or contact of the user's finger. At this time, the allocation information 151 of the operation elements 271 is displayed on the display unit 12. At the same time, the allocation information 152, 153, 154, and 155 of the surrounding operators 272, 273, 274, and 275 adjacent to the operator 271 are also displayed on the display unit 12.
　なお、指が、現在接触等している、操作子２７１から、１つ上の操作子２７４に移動すると表示部１２に表示されている割り当て情報がスロットのように切り替わるようにしてもよい。また、一番右下（端）の操作子に指が接触等している場合は、隣接する上のノブと左のノブの割り当て情報のみ表示される。 It should be noted that the assignment information displayed on the display unit 12 may be switched like a slot when the finger moves from the operating element 271 that is currently in contact or the like to the upper operating element 274. In addition, when the finger is in contact with the lower right (end) operator, only the allocation information of the adjacent upper knob and left knob is displayed.
　また、ポップアップ形式で割り当て情報を表示した場合にも、上記のように、一定時間センサがユーザの指の隣接（または接触）を検知していない場合、制御部１１は表示部に表示した割り当て情報を非表示としてもよい。さらに、一定時間センサがユーザの指の隣接（または接触）を検知している場合、制御部１１は表示部１２に表示した割り当て情報を表示し続けてもよい。また、ポップアップの場合、現在、指の隣接（または接触）を検知しているセンサから、別のセンサに指の隣接（または接触）の検知が移動した場合には、その移動に応じてスクロール等の表示効果を伴って、割り当て情報の表示を変更してもよい。 In addition, even when the allocation information is displayed in a pop-up format, as described above, if the sensor does not detect the adjoining (or touching) of the user's finger as described above, the control unit 11 displays the allocation information displayed on the display unit. May be hidden. Furthermore, when the sensor detects the adjacency (or contact) of the user's finger for a certain period of time, the control unit 11 may continue to display the allocation information displayed on the display unit 12. In the case of a pop-up, if detection of finger adjacency (or contact) moves from another sensor that currently detects finger adjacency (or contact) to another sensor, scrolling or the like according to the movement The display of the allocation information may be changed with the display effect.
　また、本実施形態では、操作子１４Ａ～１４Ｈの割り当て情報を、表示部１２に表示する例を説明したが、表示部１２に、操作子１４Ａ～１４Ｈに対応する操作子画像を表示して、操作子と操作子画像との対応関係を把握し易くするようにしてもよい。 Further, in this embodiment, the example in which the assignment information of the operators 14A to 14H is displayed on the display unit 12 has been described. However, the operator image corresponding to the operators 14A to 14H is displayed on the display unit 12, You may make it easy to grasp | ascertain the correspondence of an operation element and an operation element image.
　図７は、操作子に対応する操作子画像を表示部１２に表示する場合の例を示す図である。 FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating an example in which an operation element image corresponding to an operation element is displayed on the display unit 12.
　この例では、物理的な操作子２４Ａ、２４Ｂ、２４Ｃはフェーダであって、イコライザ（ＥＱ）用の操作子としてとして割り当てられている。イコライザの設定では、低域、中域、高域といった複数の帯域でパラメータを補正する。各操作子２４Ａ、２４Ｂ、２４Ｃそれぞれには、センサ２５Ａ、２５Ｂ、２５Ｃが設けられている。センサ２５Ａ、２５Ｂ、２５Ｃは、操作子２４Ａ、２４Ｂ、２４Ｃへのユーザの指の接近（または接触）を検知する。 In this example, the physical operators 24A, 24B, and 24C are faders and assigned as equalizer (EQ) operators. In the equalizer setting, parameters are corrected in a plurality of bands such as a low band, a middle band, and a high band. Sensors 25A, 25B, and 25C are provided in the operators 24A, 24B, and 24C, respectively. The sensors 25A, 25B, and 25C detect the approach (or contact) of the user's finger to the operating elements 24A, 24B, and 24C.
　表示部１２には、操作子２４Ａ、２４Ｂ、２４Ｃと同じ機能が割り当てられた操作子画像２４１，２４２，２４３が表示されている。この場合、ユーザは、タッチパネル１３から、操作子画像２４１，２４２，２４３を操作して、操作子画像２４１～２４３それぞれに割り当てられた周波数帯域におけるパラメータを補正できる。そして、ユーザは、操作子画像２４１～２４３で大まかな調整を行った後、操作子２４Ａ～２４Ｃで微調整するといった操作を行う。 The operation unit images 241, 242, and 243 to which the same functions as the operation units 24A, 24B, and 24C are assigned are displayed on the display unit 12. In this case, the user can operate the operation element images 241, 242, and 243 from the touch panel 13 to correct the parameters in the frequency bands assigned to the operation element images 241 to 243, respectively. Then, the user performs an operation such as performing a rough adjustment with the operation elements 241 to 243 and then performing a fine adjustment with the operation elements 24A to 24C.
　例えば、センサ２５Ａがユーザの指の接近（または接触）を検知すると、表示部１２は、操作子画像２４１を、他の操作子画像とは異なる態様で表示する。これにより、ユーザは、自身が操作しようとする操作子に対応する操作子画像がどれかを把握できる。前記のように、ユーザが、操作子画像２４１～２４３で大まかな調整を行った後、操作子２４Ａ～２４Ｃで微調整するといった操作を行う場合、操作子２４Ａ～２４Ｃと操作子画像２４１～２４３との対応関係を把握し易くすることで、ユーザは、スムーズな調整を行える。 For example, when the sensor 25A detects the approach (or contact) of the user's finger, the display unit 12 displays the operation element image 241 in a mode different from other operation element images. Thereby, the user can grasp which operation element image corresponds to the operation element that the user wants to operate. As described above, when the user performs an operation such as performing a rough adjustment with the operation element images 241 to 243 and then performing a fine adjustment with the operation elements 24A to 24C, the operation elements 24A to 24C and the operation element images 241 to 243 are performed. By making it easy to grasp the correspondence relationship, the user can make a smooth adjustment.
　この例では、タッチパネル１３は、「画像操作受付部」の一例である。 In this example, the touch panel 13 is an example of an “image operation receiving unit”.
　また、一つの操作子に対して複数の機能が割り当てられるようにしてもよい。 Also, a plurality of functions may be assigned to one operator.
　図８は、操作子に複数の機能を割り当て、それに対応する操作子画像を表示部１２に表示する場合の例を示す図である。 FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an example in the case where a plurality of functions are assigned to the operator and the corresponding operator image is displayed on the display unit 12.
　この例では、操作子２４ＡはＥＱ用の操作子として割り当てられている。また、操作子２４Ａは、５００Ｈｚ、１ｋＨｚ、２ｋＨｚのパラメータを設定する操作子として割り当てられている。操作パネル１０には、選択スイッチ２６が設けられていて、この選択スイッチ２６により、操作子２４Ａに、５００Ｈｚ、１ｋＨｚ、２ｋＨｚのいずれのパラメータを設定する操作子に設定するかを選択できる。選択スイッチ２６は、「選択部」の一例である。 In this example, the operator 24A is assigned as an EQ operator. The operation element 24A is assigned as an operation element for setting parameters of 500 Hz, 1 kHz, and 2 kHz. The operation panel 10 is provided with a selection switch 26. With this selection switch 26, it is possible to select which parameter of 500 Hz, 1 kHz, or 2 kHz is set for the operation element 24A. The selection switch 26 is an example of a “selection unit”.
　表示部１２には、ＥＱ用の操作子としてとして割り当てられている複数の操作子画像２５１、２５２、２５３、２５４、２５５、２５６が表示される。図７での説明と同様、ユーザは、操作子画像２５１～２５６で大まかな調整を行った後、操作子２４Ａ～２４Ｃで微調整するといった操作を行うことができる。 The display unit 12 displays a plurality of operation element images 251, 252, 253, 254, 255, and 256 assigned as EQ operation elements. Similar to the description in FIG. 7, the user can perform an operation such as performing a rough adjustment with the operation element images 251 to 256 and then performing a fine adjustment with the operation elements 24A to 24C.
　センサ２５Ａがユーザの指の接近（または接触）を検知すると、表示部１２は、操作子画像２５２、２５３、２５４を、他の操作子画像とは異なる態様で表示する。これにより、ユーザは、操作子２４Ａに割り当てられた複数の機能を把握できる。この例では、ユーザは、操作子２４Ａは、５００Ｈｚ、１ｋＨｚ、２ｋＨｚのパラメータを設定する操作子として割り当てられていることを把握できる。そして、表示部１２は、操作子画像２５２を、操作子画像２５３、２５４とは異なる態様で強調表示する。これにより、ユーザは、現在、操作子２４Ａは、５００Ｈｚのパラメータを設定する操作子として割り当てられていることを把握できる。 When the sensor 25A detects the approach (or contact) of the user's finger, the display unit 12 displays the operation element images 252, 253, and 254 in a mode different from other operation element images. Thereby, the user can grasp | ascertain the several function allocated to the operation element 24A. In this example, the user can grasp that the operation element 24A is assigned as an operation element for setting parameters of 500 Hz, 1 kHz, and 2 kHz. Then, the display unit 12 highlights the operation element image 252 in a manner different from the operation element images 253 and 254. Thereby, the user can grasp that the operation element 24A is currently assigned as an operation element for setting a parameter of 500 Hz.
　このように、一つの操作子に複数の機能を割り当てることができるようにすることで、表示部１２に表示する操作子画像２５１～２５６と同数の操作子を設ける必要がなくなり、操作子の数を減らすことができる。 Thus, by making it possible to assign a plurality of functions to one operator, it is not necessary to provide the same number of operators as the operator images 251 to 256 displayed on the display unit 12, and the number of operators Can be reduced.
　図７および図８で説明したように、物理的な操作子と、表示部１２に表示さる操作子画像との対応関係を把握し易くすることで、ユーザは、操作子画像で大まかな調整を行った後、操作子で微調整するといった操作をスムーズに行うことができる。 As described with reference to FIGS. 7 and 8, by making it easier to grasp the correspondence between the physical operation elements and the operation element images displayed on the display unit 12, the user can make rough adjustments with the operation element images. After the operation is performed, an operation such as fine adjustment with the operation element can be performed smoothly.
