  In mixing recording, when using a recording medium recording a sound source, it is necessary to record a sound source for mixing on the recording medium beforehand, and a plurality of sound sources such as a guitar part, a bass part, a vocal part, a drum part, etc. When mixing the recording medium, the recording medium must be replaced every time mixing is performed, and there is a problem that the operability and work efficiency are extremely poor.

  Also, when using an external input terminal, since the length of the connection cable is physically limited, it is necessary to place the recording and reproduction device close to the sound source, and the sound sources recorded in a plurality of recording and reproduction devices are mixed For this purpose, as in the case of using a recording medium, it is necessary to connect and exchange a plurality of recording / reproducing apparatuses each time.

  Therefore, it is desirable to wirelessly connect a device equipped with a sound source and a recording / reproduction device, but conventionally, a configuration for realizing mixing recording using a wirelessly connected device has not been sufficiently studied.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a recording / reproducing apparatus capable of performing mixing recording excellent in operability and work efficiency by wirelessly connecting to a device having a sound source.

It is another process flowchart of embodiment. 1 is a configuration block diagram of a recording / reproducing apparatus of an embodiment. It is a schematic diagram which shows the process of the system controller of embodiment.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 is a system configuration diagram of this embodiment. The recording and reproducing apparatus 10 wirelessly connects to a device provided with a sound source. In the present embodiment, the smartphone 12 is exemplified as a device provided with a sound source, and a wireless LAN, more specifically, a Wi-Fi connection is exemplified as a wireless connection. A smartphone equipped with a Wi-Fi module is known and can be connected to the Internet via an access point such as a wireless router.

  The recording and reproducing apparatus 10 has a well-known recording and reproducing function, processes an audio signal input from the built-in microphone 22 and the line input terminal 24, records it on a recording medium such as an SD card, and is recorded on the SD card. Play the audio signal and output it from the built-in speaker. The recording / reproducing apparatus 10 includes a Wi-Fi module and performs Wi-Fi connection with the smartphone 12. The Wi-Fi connection between the recording / reproducing apparatus 10 and the smartphone 12 is a one-to-one connection in the present embodiment, but is not necessarily limited thereto.

  The smartphone 12 records sound source data on an internal recording medium, reproduces the sound source data, and transmits an audio signal to the recording / reproducing apparatus 10 via a Wi-Fi connection. The sound source may be recorded on the smartphone 12 in advance or downloaded via the Internet. The user activates a predetermined application installed in the smartphone 12 and operates this application to select and transmit sound source data to be transmitted to the recording and reproduction device 10. A signal transmitted from the smartphone 12 to the recording / reproducing apparatus 10 via Wi-Fi connection is referred to as a first audio signal.

  The recording / reproducing apparatus 10 receives the first audio signal transmitted from the smartphone 12, performs streaming reproduction of the first audio signal, and outputs it from the built-in speaker.

  The user of the recording / playback apparatus 10 plays a desired music part while listening to the first audio signal output from the built-in speaker. In FIG. 1, the part of the instrument 14 such as a guitar is shown as a desired music part, but any other part such as a bass part, vocal part, drum part, or the like may be used.

  When the part of the musical instrument 14 is played, the recording / reproducing apparatus 10 inputs the performance sound from the built-in microphone 22 (or the line input terminal 24) and mixes it with the first audio signal as the second audio signal. Then, the first audio signal and the second audio signal that have been mixed (mixed) are recorded on a recording medium such as an SD card.

  As described above, the recording / reproducing device 10 and the smartphone 12 are connected via Wi-Fi, and the sound source recorded in the smartphone 12 is streamed and reproduced by the recording / reproducing device 10, thereby eliminating the need to exchange recording media, etc. Since the recording / reproducing apparatus 10 can be freely arranged at a desired position within a range where Fi connection is possible, the operability and work efficiency are greatly improved.

  In this embodiment, the user A operating the smartphone 12 and the user B playing the musical instrument 14 are disposed at a distance, and the user A operates the smartphone 12 to transmit the first audio signal, and the user B performs the first operation. While listening to the audio signal, the second audio signal generated by itself can be mixed with the recording / reproducing apparatus 10 disposed in the vicinity of the audio signal.

  Also, in recent years, most users possess the smartphone 12, so it is possible to select an arbitrary sound source using the smartphone 12 of their own and enjoy mixing with a desired musical instrument.

  FIG. 2 is a process flowchart of the present embodiment.

  First, the recording / reproducing apparatus 10 performs Wi-Fi connection with the smartphone 12 (S101). Specifically, the Wi-Fi button of the recording / reproducing apparatus 10 is operated to activate the Wi-Fi module. Next, the Wi-Fi module is activated by operating the Wi-Fi button or icon on the smartphone 12 side. When the recording / reproducing device 10 is detected by the smartphone 12 and the SSID which is the identification name of the access point in the wireless LAN of the recording / reproducing device 10 is displayed, the password corresponding thereto is input to establish the Wi-Fi connection. . The password can be displayed on the display unit of the recording / reproducing apparatus 10 and made visible to the user. When the recording / playback apparatus 10 establishes a Wi-Fi connection with a specific smartphone 12, the recording / playback apparatus 10 displays that fact by lighting an LED or the like. The recording / reproducing apparatus 10 functions as an access point in the wireless LAN, but does not connect to other devices other than the smartphone 12 and makes a one-to-one connection. Thus, the sound source data to be streamed and reproduced is uniquely identified. The connection between the smartphone 12 and the recording / playback apparatus 10 may be established using NFC (Near Field Communication) technology.

  Next, a desired sound source is reproduced on the smartphone 12 side, and the first audio signal transmitted from the smartphone 12 is stream-reproduced on the recording / reproducing apparatus 10 side (S102). That is, while storing the first audio signal transmitted from the smartphone 12 in the streaming reproduction buffer memory, the first audio signal is read out from the streaming reproduction buffer in parallel with this and output from the built-in speaker. The protocol used for streaming playback is arbitrary, and RTSP, MMS, RTMP, HTTP Live Streaming, MPEG-DASH, or the like can be used.

  During streaming playback, the read first audio signal is temporarily stored in the mixing buffer memory for later mixing processing, and then output from the built-in speaker, which will be described later. .

  Next, a desired musical instrument 14 such as a guitar is played while reproducing the first audio signal, and this performance sound is input as a second audio signal from, for example, the built-in microphone 22 (S103).

  Then, the second audio signal input from the built-in microphone and the first audio signal subjected to streaming reproduction are mixed (S104), and the mixed first audio signal and second audio signal are mixed in a built-in recording medium such as an SD card. (S105). At this time, the second audio signal input from the built-in microphone is stored in the mixing buffer memory, and is added to the first audio signal already stored in the mixing buffer memory for mixing. The level may be adjusted at the time of addition and then mixing processing may be performed.

  FIG. 3 is another processing flowchart of this embodiment. Over-dubbing (over-dub) is known as a method of multiplex recording in which speech and the like are repeated and recorded repeatedly with respect to voice and the like recorded first, but this is a combination process with this over-dub.

  First, the recording / reproducing apparatus 10 performs Wi-Fi connection with the smartphone 12 (S201).

  Next, it is determined whether to perform Wi-Fi mixing or overdub (S202). For example, when the user operates the switching button and selects Wi-Fi mixing, the first audio signal transmitted from the smartphone 12 is reproduced by streaming (S203), and a desired musical instrument etc. is played while streaming reproduction, and the second audio For example, the signal is input from the built-in microphone 22 (S204), the first audio signal and the second audio signal are mixed (S205), and recorded on the SD card (S206).

  On the other hand, when the user operates the switch button to select overdub, the audio signal recorded on the SD card is reproduced (S207), the desired musical instrument etc. is played while reproducing, and input from the built-in microphone In step S208, the reproduced audio signal and the audio signal input from the built-in microphone are mixed (S205) and recorded on the SD card (S206).

  The difference between these two processes is whether the sound source to be subjected to the mix process is the smartphone 12 or an SD card, and in this sense, the present embodiment uses an SD card with an overdub process target. It can be said that it has expanded from the smartphone 12 to the outside.

  In the processing of FIG. 3, Wi-Fi mixing and overdub need not be alternatives, and these can be combined in time series.

  For example, first, the first audio signal of the smartphone 12 is streamed and reproduced by Wi-Fi mixing to play a desired instrument, and the second audio signal is mixed and recorded on the SD card. Next, the mixed (first audio signal + second audio signal) is read from the SD card and played, and further, a desired instrument is played, and the third audio signal is mixed (first audio signal + The second audio signal + the third audio signal are generated, and recorded on the SD card, etc.

  Next, a specific configuration of the recording and reproduction device 10 in the present embodiment will be described.

  FIG. 4 is a configuration block diagram of the recording and reproducing apparatus 10 of the present embodiment. The recording / playback apparatus 10 includes a Wi-Fi module 20, a built-in microphone 22, a line input terminal 24, a built-in speaker 30, a display 32, operation buttons 34, a system controller 36, and an SD connector 42.

  The Wi-Fi module 20 is a wireless LAN module, and is a module that performs Wi-Fi connection and data transmission / reception with the smartphone 12. The Wi-Fi module 20 is activated in response to the operation of the operation button 34, establishes a Wi-Fi connection with the smartphone 12, receives an audio signal transmitted from the smartphone 12, and supplies it to the system controller 36. In addition, the Wi-Fi module 20 receives a command from the smartphone 12 as necessary, and supplies the received command to the system controller 36. This command is a command for controlling the operation of the recording / reproducing apparatus 10, and is, for example, recording start, recording stop, or the like. Thereby, the smartphone 12 can also function as a remote controller for the recording / reproducing apparatus 10. The smartphone 12 may acquire the status of the recording / playback device 10 from the system controller 36 via the Wi-Fi module 20 and display the status on the display of the smartphone 12.

  The built-in microphone 22 is an R channel and L channel stereo microphone, and inputs an audio signal of a musical instrument or the like that is played, and outputs the audio signal to an interface (I / F) 26.

  The line input terminal 24 inputs an audio signal from an external device and outputs it to an interface (I / F) 26.

  The interface (I / F) 26 outputs an audio signal from the built-in microphone 22 or the line input terminal 24 to a codec (CODEC) 28.

  The codec (CODEC) 28 converts the input audio signal into a digital signal, and compresses and encodes it to supply it to the system controller 36. Further, the audio signal supplied from the system controller 36 is decompressed and decoded, converted into an analog audio signal, and output from the built-in speaker 30. The codec (CODEC) 28 may be separated into a module that processes an audio signal from the built-in microphone 22 or the line input terminal 24 and a module that processes an audio signal output to the built-in speaker 30.

  The display 32 is composed of an LCD panel, an organic EL panel or the like, and displays various statuses of the recording / reproducing apparatus 10, such as a recording / reproducing time counter and a recording level. The display 32 includes an LED that indicates the activation state and the connection state of the Wi-Fi module 20. For example, when the Wi-Fi button is operated to activate the Wi-Fi module 20 and the connection standby state is established, the LED blinks, and when the connection with the smartphone 12 is established, the LED lights up and the Wi-Fi button is operated When the Wi-Fi module 20 is turned off, the LED is also turned off.

  The operation button 34 is a button for instructing the operation of the recording and reproducing apparatus 10. The operation buttons 34 include a Wi-Fi button for switching Wi-Fi on / off, a recording / playback / stop button, a recording level adjustment button, a track selection button, and the like. The operation button 34 may be configured as a jog dial or a touch button on the display 32.

  The system controller 36 includes a processor and a memory, and controls each part of the recording / playback apparatus 10. The system controller 36 executes various processes using the RAM 40 as a working memory according to a processing program recorded in the ROM 38. Various processes include activation / off of the Wi-Fi module 20, connection establishment with the smartphone 12, streaming reproduction of an audio signal received from the smartphone 12, an audio signal (first audio signal) from the smartphone 12 and the built-in microphone 22 ( Alternatively, mixing processing with an audio signal (second audio signal) input from the line input terminal 24), recording of the mixed audio signal on an SD card, and the like are included. The system controller 36 may include a plurality of processors and may cooperate with a PLD (programmable logic device).

  An SD card is attached to the SD connector 42. The system controller 36 records the mixed audio signal by recording it on an SD card. Also, the audio signal recorded on the SD card is read out and output from the built-in speaker 30 via the codec (CODEC) 28.

  As described above, the system controller 36 performs the streaming reproduction of the first audio signal received from the smartphone 12 and the second audio signal and the first audio signal input from the built-in microphone 22 (or the line input terminal 24) while performing streaming reproduction. Are mixed and recorded on the SD card. The system controller 36 executes this mixing process using a plurality of built-in buffer memories.

  FIG. 5 is a schematic view of mix processing in the system controller 36. As shown in FIG.

  The system controller 36 uses a streaming reproduction buffer memory 36a, an SD reproduction buffer memory 36b, an input buffer memory 36c, a mix buffer memory 36d, an output buffer memory 36e, and a recording buffer memory 36f as buffer memories.

The first audio signal transmitted from the Wi-Fi connected smartphone 12 is sequentially stored in the streaming playback buffer memory 36a. The system controller 36 sequentially stores the first audio signal in the streaming reproduction buffer memory 36a, and simultaneously reads the first audio signal from the beginning of the streaming reproduction buffer memory 36a in parallel with this, and the mixing buffer It stores in memory 36d one by one. The buffer memory for streaming playback is configured by a ring buffer in which the buffer memory is arranged in a ring shape and the reading position rotates while following the writing position. An area from the read position to the write position is used as a data storage area, and by making this area prohibited from being changed, the written data can be read correctly. The other area is an area where data can be updated in preparation for the next reading. If necessary, the entire buffer memory may be divided into N equal parts (for example, four equal parts), and an area to be updated in one process may be defined. The first audio signal stored in the mixing buffer memory 36d is R channel: ar1 (t1), ar2 (t2), ar3 (t3),...
L channel: al1 (t1), al2 (t2), al3 (t3), ...
And Here, t1, t2, and t3 indicate times.
Further, the system controller 36 reads out the first audio signal stored in the mix buffer memory 36d, stores it in the output buffer memory 36e, and converts the first audio signal stored in the output buffer memory 36e into a codec (CODEC). And 28) to output from the built-in speaker 30. The user can listen to the audio streamed from the built-in speaker 30 and can play a desired instrument while listening to the audio.

A second audio signal generated by a user playing a musical instrument 14 such as a guitar is input through a built-in microphone 22 (or a line input terminal 24), an interface (I / F) 26, and a codec (CODEC) 28 for input buffer memory. It is sequentially stored in 36c. The second audio signal sequentially stored in the input buffer memory 36c is R channel: br1 (t1), br2 (t2), br3 (t3),.
L channel: bl1 (t1), bl2 (t2), bl3 (t3),...
And The system controller 36 is substantially the same for the first audio signal (streamed audio signal) stored in the mix buffer memory 36d and the second audio signal stored in the input buffer memory 36c. Add time timing data to each other,
R channel: ar1 + br1, ar2 + br2, ar3 + br3, ...
L channel: al1 + bl1, al2 + bl2, al3 + bl3, ...
Is generated.

  After adding and mixing processing both signals, the system controller 36 reads the audio signal after the mixing processing from the mixing buffer memory 36d, sequentially stores the audio signal in the recording buffer memory 36f, and further writes it to the SD card.

When the first audio signal is read from the streaming playback buffer memory 36a and stored in the mix buffer memory 36d, the first audio signal is stored in an area that is not yet mixed and stored in the recording buffer memory 36f. Needless to say, they are stored in other areas. The audio signal (first audio signal + second audio signal) that has been mixed and stored in the recording buffer memory 36f may be deleted from the mixing buffer memory 36d or may be deleted by allowing overwriting. Good. Therefore, when the mix buffer memory 36d is also composed of a ring buffer, the area between the write position and the read position for writing to the output buffer memory 36e, and the read for writing to the write buffer and the recording buffer memory 36f are read. The area between the positions is a data storage area, this area is prohibited from being changed, and the other areas are areas where data can be updated in preparation for the next reading.

  On the other hand, in the case of overdub, the system controller 36 reads out the audio signal recorded on the SD card and sequentially stores it in the SD playback buffer memory 36b. The audio signal read out from the SD reproduction buffer memory 36b is temporarily stored in the mixing buffer memory 36d and then stored in the output buffer memory 36e, and the audio signal stored in the output buffer memory 36e is transmitted to the codec The signal is output from the built-in speaker 30 via the (CODEC) 28. The user can listen to the audio reproduced from the built-in speaker 30, and can play a desired musical instrument while listening to the audio.

The second audio signal generated by the user playing a musical instrument or the like is sequentially input to the input buffer memory 36c via the built-in microphone 22 (or line input terminal 24), interface (I / F) 26, and codec (CODEC) 28. Stored. The second audio signal sequentially stored in the input buffer memory 36c is R channel: br1 (t1), br2 (t2), br3 (t3),.
L channel: bl1 (t1), bl2 (t2), bl3 (t3),...
And The system controller 36 is substantially identical to the audio signal (audio signal reproduced from the SD card) stored in the mix buffer memory 36 d and the second audio signal stored in the input buffer memory 36 c. The time signals are added together to generate a mix signal.

  After adding and mixing processing both signals, the system controller 36 reads the audio signal after the mixing processing from the mixing buffer memory 36d, sequentially stores the audio signal in the recording buffer memory 36f, and further writes it to the SD card.

  Thus, both Wi-Fi mix and overdub processes can be executed via the mix buffer memory 36d.

  In the present embodiment, as described above, after performing the Wi-Fi mix process, an overdub process can be further performed. Processing in this case is as follows.

That is, the first audio signal transmitted from the Wi-Fi connected smartphone 12 is sequentially stored in the streaming playback buffer memory 36a. The system controller 36 sequentially stores the first audio signal in the streaming reproduction buffer memory 36a, and simultaneously reads the first audio signal from the head of the streaming reproduction buffer memory 36a in parallel with the first audio signal. Store in 36d sequentially. The first audio signal stored in the mixing buffer memory 36d is R channel: ar1 (t1), ar2 (t2), ar3 (t3),...
L channel: al1 (t1), al2 (t2), al3 (t3), ...
And Further, the system controller 36 reads out the first audio signal stored in the mix buffer memory 36d, stores it in the output buffer memory 36e, and converts the first audio signal stored in the output buffer memory 36e into a codec (CODEC). ) Is output from the built-in speaker 30 via 28. The user can listen to the audio streamed from the built-in speaker 30 and can play a desired instrument while listening to the audio.

The second audio signal generated by the user playing a musical instrument or the like is sequentially input to the input buffer memory 36c via the built-in microphone 22 (or line input terminal 24), interface (I / F) 28, and codec (CODEC) 28. Stored. The second audio signal sequentially stored in the input buffer memory 36c is R channel: br1 (t1), br2 (t2), br3 (t3),.
L channel: bl1 (t1), bl2 (t2), bl3 (t3),...
And The system controller 36 is substantially the same for the first audio signal (streamed audio signal) stored in the mix buffer memory 36d and the second audio signal stored in the input buffer memory 36c. Add time timing data to each other,
R channel: ar1 + br1, ar2 + br2, ar3 + br3, ...
L channel: al1 + bl1, al2 + bl2, al3 + bl3, ...
Is generated.

  After adding and mixing both signals, the system controller 36 reads the audio signal (first audio signal + second audio signal) after the mixing process from the mixing buffer memory 36 d and sequentially stores the audio signal in the recording buffer memory 36 f Then, write to the SD card.

  Next, the system controller 36 reads out the audio signal (first audio signal + second audio signal) recorded on the SD card and sequentially stores it in the SD playback buffer memory 36b. The audio signal read out from the SD reproduction buffer memory 36b is temporarily stored in the mixing buffer memory 36d and then stored in the output buffer memory 36e, and the audio signal stored in the output buffer memory 36e is transmitted to the codec The signal is output from the built-in speaker 30 via the (CODEC) 28. The user can listen to the audio reproduced from the built-in speaker 30, and can play a desired musical instrument while listening to the audio.

The third audio signal generated by the user playing a musical instrument or the like is sequentially input to the input buffer memory 36c via the built-in microphone 22 (or line input terminal 24), interface (I / F) 28, and codec (CODEC) 28. Stored. The third audio signal sequentially stored in the input buffer memory 36c is R channel: cr1 (t1), cr2 (t2), cr3 (t3),.
L channel: cl1 (t1), cl2 (t2), cl3 (t3),...
And The system controller 36 is substantially identical to the audio signal (audio signal reproduced from the SD card) stored in the mix buffer memory 36 d and the third audio signal stored in the input buffer memory 36 c. Add time timing data to each other,
R channel: ar1 + br1 + cr1, ar2 + br2 + cr2, ar3 + br3 + cr3,.

  In this embodiment, the streaming reproduction buffer memory 36a is used at the time of Wi-Fi mix processing, and the SD reproduction buffer memory 36b is used at the time of over dub processing. However, these are not used simultaneously. The buffer memory 36a and the SD playback buffer memory 36b can also be configured as a common single buffer memory, whereby the configuration can be simplified and the cost can be reduced. In addition, since the SD reproduction buffer memory 36b and the mix buffer memory 36d are buffer memories necessary for performing the over dub processing, the over dub processing is executed in the recording / reproducing apparatus having the over dub function. It is also possible to realize the Wi-Fi mix processing by using the configuration for doing so.
