US 2019/0246227 A1 · Sound Processing Apparatus and Method

Abstract

A sound processing apparatus includes a signal processing device that individually performs first localization setting (e.g., sound volume panning) for setting localization of an input sound signal based on a value of a first parameter and second localization setting (e.g., delay panning) for setting localization of the input sound signal based on a value of a second parameter. In response to an adjustment by an operation device of the value of one of the first and second parameters, a control device automatically changes the value of the other of the first and second parameters. In this way, sound image localization based on the first localization setting and sound image localization based on the second localization setting are automatically controlled in an interlocked relation to each other. At least one of the sound signals localized based on the first and/or second localization setting is output to an output destination.

Dependent claims

A sound processing apparatus comprising:

a signal processing device configured to individually perform first localization setting for setting localization of an input sound signal based on a value of a first parameter and second localization setting for setting localization of the input sound signal based on a value of a second parameter different from the first parameter;
an operation device operable by a user for adjusting the value of the first parameter or the second parameter;
a control device that, in response to an adjustment by the operation device of the value of one of the first parameter and the second parameter, automatically changes the value of other of the first parameter and the second parameter;
and
an output device that outputs at least one of the sound signal localized in accordance with the first localization setting and the sound signal localized in accordance with the second localization setting.
