SYSTEM FOR NETWORKING AUDIO EFFECTS PROCESSORS, ENABLING BIDIRECTIONAL COMMUNICATION AND STORAGE/RECALL OF DATA

摘要

Systems and methods of networking and managing audio effects processors for musical instruments and vocal microphones, in which multiple sets of parameter settings involved in audio effects processing can be stored as well as modified within a central management hub. In response to one or more simple user inputs, the respective sets of parameter settings can be recalled or otherwise accessed from the central management hub and applied to selected ones of the audio effects processors, thereby allowing both musicians and vocalists to create a multitude of characteristic sounds with their musical instruments and vocal microphones, respectively, with increased convenience and ease-of-use.

主权项

1. A system for networking and managing one or more audio effects processors for musical instruments and vocal microphones, comprising:
at least one processor; a plurality of memories connected to the at least one processor, the plurality of memories including a program memory and a nonvolatile memory; and a plurality of bidirectional ports communicably connected to the at least one processor, wherein the at least one processor is operative to execute at least one computer program out of the program memory:
to send a first command over at least one of the plurality of bidirectional ports to at least one of the one or more audio effects processors;to receive, over the at least one bidirectional port in response to the sending of the first command, one or more parameter settings from the at least one audio effects processor, the one or more parameter settings determining audio effects processing by the at least one audio effects processor;to store the one or more parameter settings in the nonvolatile memory; andto access, in response to at least one user input, the one or more parameter settings from the nonvolatile memory for subsequent application to the at least one audio effects processor.
