Patent ID: 8135483

Claim:
An editing device that edits a configuration of signal processing comprising a plurality of components each having an input terminal or an output terminal and wires each connecting the output terminal and the input terminal of the components executed by an audio signal processing device having a programmable signal processor, said editing device comprising: a device that causes a display to display a screen with which the configuration is edited; a device that accepts a designation of the components and wires between the components on the screen and changes display contents of the screen in accordance with the designation; a first memory that stores data regarding the edited configuration as first configuration data including data on the components and wires included in the configuration; a second memory that stores, for each of a plurality of audio signal processing devices which execute the signal processing according to the edited configuration, resource data indicating a signal processing resource of the signal processor provided in the audio signal processing device; a selection accepter that accepts a selection of an arbitrary number of audio signal processing devices among the audio signal processing devices regarding which a piece of resource data is stored in said second memory; and a compilation device that assigns the signal processing resource of the signal processor of the audio signal processing device to processing corresponding to each of the components and wires included in the edited configuration in accordance with the resource data stored in said second memory, and generates second configuration data including not only the data on the components and wires but also assignment data indicating contents of the assignment and model data indicating that the assignment data is generated in accordance with the resource data of which device, wherein said compilation device individually generates, for each of all the audio signal processing devices regarding which said selection acceptor accepted the selection, the assignment data in accordance with the resource data of each of the devices and generates the second configuration data including all the pieces of the generated assignment data.
