Abstract An audio mixing console used in a recording studio etc. includes operators which can be driven both manually and by a motor, function selection switches for selecting one of a fader function and other functions in respective channels as a function to be designated by each of the operators, a display for displaying contents of separation assigned to the operators in accordance with selection by the function selection switches, a memory for storing operation positions of the operators for each of the functions, a control unit for reading out operation position information stored in the memory with respect to the function selected by the function selection switches and positioning the operators to the position by motor driving, and a signal processing circuit for applying to an input signal a signal processing corresponding to the position of the operators with respect to the function selected by the function selection switches. The operators can be used for functions other than fader functions, so that the construction of the mixing console can be simplified and the operation can be facilitated.
A mixing console comprising: operators which can be driven both manually and by motors; function selection means for selecting one of a fader function or other functions in respective channels as a function to be assigned to each of said operators; function display means for displaying information corresponding to the operation assigned to said operators in accordance with selection by said function selection means; memory means for storing operation positions of said operators for each of said functions; control means for reading out operation position information stored in said memory means with respect to the function selected by said function selection means and positioning said operators to said position by motor driving; and signal processing means for applying to an input signal signal processing corresponding to the position of said operators with respect to the function selected by said function selection means.
