Parameter controlling apparatus

摘要

A parameter controlling apparatus has a CPU 201 and operation input portion 302, 303 and 305 which include an operating area 303 whose operated position can be detected, and accept input operation. The CPU 201 detects whether the operation input portion is operated in the first manner or the second manner in accordance with the accepted input operation, and detects the content of the input operation of the operating area 303. In a case where the first manner has been detected, the CPU 201 also changes a value of a target parameter in accordance with the content of the input operation of the operating area 303. In a case where the second manner has been detected, the CPU 201 also switches a type of a target parameter in accordance with the content of the input operation of the operating area 303.

1. A parameter controlling apparatus comprising:
an operation input portion which includes an operating area whose operated position can be detected, and which accepts an input operation, the operating area having a plurality of sectional areas corresponding to a plurality of parameter types; a processor that detects whether the operation input portion is operated in a first manner that changes a value of a type of target parameter or in a second manner that switches a type of target parameter in accordance with the accepted input operation, the processor also detecting content of the input operation of the operating area; and a slider that changes the value of the type of target parameter which is switched in the second manner in accordance with the content of the input operation of the operating area when the detected manner is the first manner, wherein
the processor switches a present type of target parameter to a new type of target parameter corresponding to a sectional area of the operating area in accordance with the content of the input operation of the operating area when the detected manner is the second manner;the content of the input operation of the operating area is information which relates to depressing operation of the operating area and represents a position at which the operating area has been depressed and released with a finger;the operation input portion also has a second switch in addition to the operating area; andthe processor detects either the first manner or a third manner, in which a value of a target parameter is changed in a resolution which is finer than a resolution of the first manner, depending on whether the operating area and the second switch of the operation input portion have been operated concurrently or not.
