Audio processing system

An audio system, comprising:

• an audio processing apparatus to receive at least one operational parameter of a source of an audio signal from a hub device, the at least one operational parameter including at least one of a battery level of the source, a radio frequency (RF) signal strength of the source, an audio level supplied by the source, an RF of the source, and a source mute status indicative of the source being in a mute condition, the audio processing apparatus comprising:
• an optical output device to display a plurality of groups of graphics display areas, where the audio processing apparatus provides first graphics indicating the at least one operational parameter of the source being displayed in one of the groups of graphics display areas;
• a memory device;
• and
• a control device coupled to the optical output device and to the memory device, the control device being operative to:
• receive a first patch setting corresponding to a first user-defined setting that assigns inputs of the audio processing apparatus to audio channels of the audio processing apparatus;
• generate mapping data that defines a mapping of the inputs of the audio processing apparatus to the audio channels of the audio processing apparatus for storage on the memory device after receiving the first patch setting;
• receive a second patch setting corresponding to a second user-defined setting that changes an assignment of at least one input of the audio processing apparatus with respect to at least one channel of the audio processing apparatus;
• modify the mapping data based on the second patch setting;
• and
• shift the first graphics on the optical output device indicating the at least one operational parameter of the source from a display area in one group of the plurality of groups of graphics display areas to a display area in another group of the plurality of groups of graphics display areas after modifying the mapping data.
