Description
-1- La présente invention concerne un dispositif d'essai et d'utilisation à distance de système audio et en particulier de pédales d'effet pour instrument de musique. A l'heure actuelle, le test ou l'essai de ces pédales d'effet pour guitare se fait en général en boutique en branchant une guitare sur l'entrée audio de la pédale et un amplificateur sur la sortie. Le but de la présente invention est donc de déporter le signal audio de l'instrument vers l'entrée audio de la pédale d'effet située dans une salle informatique relié au réseau internet. L'intérêt est de pouvoir essayer l'ensemble des pédales d'effet présentent dans cette salle informatique depuis n'importe quel ordinateur équipé d'une liaison internet.The present invention relates to a device for testing and remote use of the audio system and in particular the effects pedals for a musical instrument. At present, testing or testing these guitar effect pedals is usually done in the shop by plugging a guitar on the audio input of the pedal and an amplifier on the output. The object of the present invention is therefore to deport the audio signal of the instrument to the audio input of the effect pedal located in a computer room connected to the Internet. The interest is to be able to try all the effect pedals present in this computer room from any computer equipped with an internet connection.
Il ne s'agit donc pas de simuler le rendu audio d'une pédale d'effet mais bien d'obtenir le son réel généré par la pédale d'effet branchée à distance. Le dispositif selon l'invention permet d'essayer à distance et en temps réel la pédale d'effet sélectionnée sans avoir à se déplacer de chez soi en utilisant son ordinateur personnel. Le matériel testé peut être n'importe quel dispositif audio disposant d'une entrée et d'une sortie 15 audio. Pour cela le dispositif global est composé de plusieurs parties : - Une première partie dédiée à l'acheminement du signal audio de l'instrument connecté à l'ordinateur vers le serveur central de répartition. Pour cela on implémentera au sein d'un navigateur Internet l'interface de programmation WebRTC, soit une autre 20 méthode d'acheminement pour les navigateurs ne supportant pas WebRTC. - La deuxième partie sera chargée d'aiguiller le flux audio vers le système sous test sélectionné dans le navigateur Internet. Cette partie jouera le rôle de proxy capable de mettre en relation le flux audio issu de l'ordinateur où est branché l'instrument, vers le système où est connecté le système audio à tester. 25 - La troisième partie aura comme fonction de convertir le flux audio numérique en signal audio, l'acheminer vers la pédale d'effet à tester, de recevoir le signal traité par cette équipement, de le numériser et enfin de le renvoyer vers le serveur central qui lui le renverra vers l'ordinateur source. Le choix de la pédale d'effet ainsi que des périphériques de lecture et d'écoute se fera via une 30 interface Web. Les dessins annexés illustrent l'invention : La figure 1 représente le cheminement du signal audio jusqu'au dispositif sous test. La figure 2 représente le détail du système de mise sous test. En référence à ces dessins, le dispositif comporte, coté utilisateur, un ordinateur personnel 3031223 -2- (1) équipé d'un périphérique audio (2) sur lequel est branché l'instrument de musique. Sur cet ordinateur, un navigateur internet embarque l'application Web de sélection de la pédale à tester et du système capable de générer et recevoir le flux audio du serveur central (3) via une interface réseau (4) sur le réseau internet.It is not a question of simulating the audio rendering of an effects pedal but of getting the real sound generated by the effects pedal connected remotely. The device according to the invention makes it possible to remotely and in real time try the selected effect pedal without having to move from home using its personal computer. The tested hardware may be any audio device having an audio input and output. For this purpose the global device is composed of several parts: - A first part dedicated to the routing of the audio signal of the instrument connected to the computer to the central distribution server. For this purpose, the WebRTC programming interface will be implemented within an Internet browser, another routing method for browsers that do not support WebRTC. - The second part will be responsible for directing the audio stream to the system under test selected in the Internet browser. This part will play the role of proxy capable of connecting the audio stream from the computer where the instrument is connected to the system where the audio system to be tested is connected. The third part will have the function of converting the digital audio stream into an audio signal, channeling it to the effect pedal to be tested, receiving the signal processed by this equipment, digitizing it and finally returning it to the server. that will send it back to the source computer. The choice of the effect pedal as well as the playback and listening devices will be via a web interface. The accompanying drawings illustrate the invention: FIG. 1 represents the routing of the audio signal to the device under test. Figure 2 shows the details of the testing system. With reference to these drawings, the device comprises, on the user side, a personal computer 3031223 -2- (1) equipped with an audio device (2) to which the musical instrument is connected. On this computer, an internet browser embeds the Web application for selecting the pedal to be tested and the system capable of generating and receiving the audio stream of the central server (3) via a network interface (4) on the Internet network.
5 Le système comporte ensuite un serveur central hébergé (3) sur lequel est installé un logiciel de type proxy capable de mettre en relation les flux audio entrant et sortant des postes client (1) vers le boitier de mise sous test (5) sélectionné via une application web exécutée sur le poste client. Enfin, le système sur lequel est connectée la pédale à essayer.The system then comprises a hosted central server (3) on which is installed a proxy-type software capable of connecting the incoming and outgoing audio streams of the client stations (1) to the test box (5) selected via a web application running on the client computer. Finally, the system on which is connected the pedal to try.
10 Cette partie du système (5), détaillée figure 2, est composée d'un nano ordinateur mono carfê à processeur (6) sur lequel est enfichée une carte audio compatible nano ordinateur (7) ef disposant d'une entrée (8) et d'une sortie (9) audio. Le tout installé dans un boitier (10) aux tailles réduites. Ce nano ordinateur héberge un logiciel capable de convertir en temps réel le flux'audio numérique en signal audio analogique sur la sortie audio (9). De même il convertit en temps réel le signal audio analogique présent sur l'entrée audio (8) en flux audio numérique pour le diriger vers le serveur central (3). Ces deux flux transitent en temps réel entre le serveur central (3) et le nano ordinateur. Le boitier de mise sous test (10) est donc composé d'un nano ordinateur, d'une carte audio reliée à une pédale d'effet. Le nombre de systèmes sous test (5) n'est dépendant que de la 20 capacité de traitement du serveur central (3). Le dispositif selon l'invention est particulièrement destiné aux tests ou à l'essai, de pédales d'effet guitare mais aussi de tous types de système audio disposant d'une entrée et d'une sortie audio.This part of the system (5), detailed in FIG. 2, is composed of a mono-processor nano computer (6) on which is inserted a nano-computer compatible audio card (7) having an input (8) and an audio output (9). All installed in a box (10) to small sizes. This nano computer hosts software capable of converting the digital audio stream into an analog audio signal in real time on the audio output (9). Similarly, it converts the analog audio signal present on the audio input (8) in real time into digital audio stream to direct it to the central server (3). These two streams transit in real time between the central server (3) and the nano computer. The test box (10) is composed of a nano computer, an audio card connected to an effects pedal. The number of systems under test (5) is dependent only on the processing capacity of the central server (3). The device according to the invention is particularly intended for testing or testing, guitar effect pedals but also all types of audio system having an input and an audio output.
