Abstract
Description
なお、「デッキ領域」とは、再生信号の再生機能を操作する装置の操作領域を指すものであり、「再生信号の再生機能を操作する装置」とは、DJプレイヤーやDJエフェクターを含む概念である。また、必ずしもハードウェア的に搭載されたものでなくても良く、アプリケーション(ソフトウェア)により実現させても良い。
また、「再生信号」は、音声信号および映像信号のいずれであっても良い。また、全チャンネルのうち、一部のチャンネルには音声信号をロードし、他のチャンネルには映像信号をロードする、などの形態も可能である。つまり、再生制御システムは、音響機器、映像機器、またはこれらの複合機器(AV機器)のいずれであっても良い。
なお、「フェーダースタート機能」とは、キュー待機状態と再生状態の切り替え、および混合率(ボリュームやレベルを含む)の調整を1つのフェーダー操作にて行う機能である。
なお、フェーダースタート機能が「無効」に切り替えられた場合、フェーダー操作子は、その操作自体が無効とみなされるのではなく、混合率の調整を行うための操作子として機能する(但し、フェーダー操作子の操作によって、キュー待機状態と再生状態の切り替えは行わない)ことが好ましい。
なお、「キュー選択操作子」は、1つの操作子で実現しても良いし、複数の操作子で実現しても良い。前者の場合、1つの操作子で再生コンテンツの先頭側のキューポイント候補から順次選択し、最後のキューポイント候補の次はまた先頭に戻る、といった仕様でも良い。また、後者の場合、再生コンテンツの先頭側から終端に向かって順次キューポイント候補を選択するフォワード用操作子と、再生コンテンツの終端側から先端に向かって順次キューポイント候補を選択するバック用操作子と、の2つの操作子を設けても良い。
なお、「ビートシンク機能」とは、マスターとなる曲に対して、スレーブとなる曲のBPM(Beats Per Minute)と拍を同期する機能を指す。つまり、従来のDJ機器でDJが手動で行っていたテンポスライダーとピッチベンドによるBPMと拍の調整を自動化したものである。
