Abstract
A specification of one of a plurality of controls is accepted, a specification of a plurality of items is accepted with respect to parameters, and among the plurality of controls, a plurality of controls to which parameter items are to be assigned are determined with reference to the control for which the specification is accepted. To each of the determined plurality of controls, one of the plurality of items for which the specification is accepted is assigned, and each of the plurality of controls is made to function as a control for operating the set value of the item assigned to this control.
Claims9
An audio signal processing apparatus comprising:
- a plurality of controls;
- a first accepting device that accepts a specification of a single control of the plurality of controls;
- a second accepting device that accepts a specification of a plurality of parameter items;
- a determining device that determines multiple controls, which form a part of the plurality of controls, as targets of assignment to which the specified plurality of parameter items are to be assigned, the targets of assignment being in vicinity of the single specified control;
- an assigning device that assigns each of the specified plurality of parameter items to a respective one control of the multiple controls determined by the determining device at once, in response to a single assignment execution instruction;
- and
- a device that controls each of the plurality of controls to function as a control for controlling value of a parameter item assigned to the control according to the assignment by the assigning device,
- wherein the determining device determines the multiple controls as the targets of assignment to which the specified plurality of parameter items are to be assigned according to a predetermined rule of arrangement, wherein the predetermined rule of arrangement defines:
- an algorithm of selecting the multiple controls to be determined by the determining device, the multiple controls selected to be targets of arrangement of the specified plurality of parameter items in vicinity of the single specified control and
- an algorithm for assigning the specified plurality of parameter items to the selected multiple controls.

A non-transitory machine-readable medium containing program instructions executable by a computer and enabling the computer to function as:
- a first accepting device that accepts specification of a single control of a plurality of controls;
- a second accepting device that accepts a specification of a plurality of parameter items;
- a determining device that determines multiple controls, which form a part of the plurality of controls, as targets of assignment to which the specified plurality of parameter items are to be assigned, the targets of assignment being in vicinity of the single specified control;
- an assigning device that assigns each of the specified plurality of parameter items to a respective one control of the multiple controls determined by the determining device at once, in response to a single assignment execution instruction;
- and
- a device that controls each of the plurality of controls to function as a control for controlling value of a parameter item assigned to the control according to the assignment by the assigning device,
- wherein the determining device determines the multiple controls as the targets of assignment to which the specified plurality of parameter items are to be assigned according to a predetermined rule of arrangement, wherein the predetermined rule of arrangement defines:
- an algorithm of selecting the multiple controls to be determined by the determining device, the multiple controls selected to be targets of arrangement of the specified plurality of parameter items in vicinity of the single specified control and
- an algorithm for assigning the specified plurality of parameter items to the selected multiple controls.

A method comprising:
- accepting a specification of a single control of a plurality of controls;
- accepting a specification of a plurality of parameter items;
- determining multiple controls, which form a part of the plurality of controls, as targets of assignment to which the specified plurality of parameter items are to be assigned, the targets of assignment being in vicinity of the single specified control;
- assigning each of the specified plurality of parameter items to a respective one control of the determined multiple controls at once, in response to a single assignment execution instruction;
- and
- controlling each of the plurality of controls to function as a control for controlling value of a parameter item assigned to the control according to the assignment,
- wherein determining the multiple controls is determining the multiple controls as the targets of assignment to which the specified plurality of parameter items are to be assigned according to a predetermined rule of arrangement, wherein the predetermined rule of arrangement defines:
- an algorithm of selecting the multiple controls to be determined, the multiple controls selected to be targets of arrangement of the specified plurality of parameter items in vicinity of the single specified control and
- an algorithm for assigning the specified plurality of parameter items to the selected multiple controls.
