Patent ID: 7765018

Claim:
A control device for controlling an audio signal processing device having a signal processor wherein the audio signal processing device executes a signal processing of a configuration constructed of a plurality of components for processing audio signals and wires connecting the components for transferring the audio signals between the components, the control device comprising: a display; a current memory that stores parameters of each component in the configuration for controlling the signal processing of the component; a first controller that prepares, for each component in the configuration, a first control screen, on which a plurality of first controls for setting the parameters of the component in the current memory are disposed, and displays the first control screen on the display; a second controller that duplicates one or more of the first controls on the first control screen, disposes one or more second controls, which are duplicates of the first controls, on a second control screen, and displays the second control screen on the display; a parameter editor that, in response to an operation on any of the first controls on the first screen and the second controls on the second screen, modifies a parameter corresponding to the operated control in the current memory; an accepting device that accepts an open original direction with respect to one second control among the second controls on the second control screen, the open original direction being generated in response to a predetermined user operation on the one second control on the second control screen; and wherein the first controller displays the first control screen including the first control corresponding to the one second control on the second screen in response to the open original direction with respect to the one second control.
