Abstract:
A signal processing apparatus includes: a control section; a signal processing section connected with a plurality of signal processing elements and configured to perform signal processing for enhancing or attenuating an input signal in a specific frequency band; and a crossfade signal section including a crossfade signal processing element capable of replacing at least one of the signal processing elements, wherein the control section is configured to control any one of the signal processing elements among the plurality of signal processing elements, and the crossfade signal processing element, to crossfade to the crossfade signal processing element having the signal processing element as a new characteristic, to perform processing for replacing any one of the signal processing elements by the crossfade signal processing element, and to perform the processing on remaining signal processing elements of the plurality of signal processing elements in the signal processing section.

Claim (Index 10):
A method of processing a signal to change a characteristic of a signal processing apparatus including a control section, a signal processing section connected with a plurality of IIR filters and configured to perform signal processing for enhancing or attenuating an input signal in a specific frequency band, and a crossfade signal section including a crossfade IIR filter capable of replacing at least one of the IIR filters among the plurality of IIR filters, the method comprising:\n controlling the crossfade IIR filter and changing the crossfade IIR filter to have a new characteristic; crossfading any one of the IIR filters among the plurality of IIR filters to the crossfade IIR filter having the new characteristic; replacing any one of the IIR filters by the crossfade IIR filter; and enabling to perform the changing to have a new characteristic, the crossfading, and the replacing on the plurality of IIR filters.
