Abstract
An audio processing apparatus includes: a plurality of channel operation controllers associated with a plurality of channels, each of the plurality of channel operation controllers configured to be operable by a user to control a parameter for one of the plurality of channels; a processor configured to determine a first channel, among the plurality of channels, to be assigned to a first channel operation controller, among the plurality of channel operation controllers; and a switching operation controller configured to be operable by the user to switch between a fixed mode where the first channel assigned to the first channel operation controller is fixedly set in advance and a custom mode where the first channel assigned to the first channel operation controller is arbitrarily settable. The custom mode includes a first state where the fixed mode is restored upon the switching operation controller receiving a first operation from the user, and a second state where the fixed mode is restored upon the switching operation controller receiving a second operation, different from the first operation, from the user.
