Patent attributes
In a digital audio mixer, a link group assigner assigns one or a plurality of link groups exclusively to channels of the digital audio mixer. An operating data setter sets a value of an operating data element for each of concerned channels to the same value when the operating data element is placed in a link state and when the same link group is assigned to the concerned channels. An operating data changer operates when a value of an operating data element of one channel is changed to a specific value and when the operating data element is placed in the link state, for changing a value of a corresponding operating data element of another channel belonging to the same link group as the one channel to the specific value. An image data output unit displays a screen containing graphic symbols representing the respective channels. Graphic symbols representing channels belonging to different link groups are represented in different display forms, and graphic symbols representing channels that do not belong to any link group are represented in a common display form, which is different from the display forms of the graphic symbols representing the channels belonging to the link groups.
