DESCRIPTION:

BRIEF SUMMARY
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention
This invention refers to a manipulator for mixing sound and or/image of digital and/or analog supports.
2. Description of the Related Art
Until now, the system of mixing sound from two conventional vinyl records in musical environments, discotheques, etc. is known.
There is the U.S. Pat. No. 5,212,733 which comprises a system for computerised control of a musical mix. Icons appear on a screen which represent musical instruments, which can be located in a simulated bidimensional space. Although intended for controlling MIDI instruments, it is cited as an example of computerised control. This patent makes it possible, using a computer, to equalize the different instruments of an edited piece of music, in such a way that the volume of one or several of them is accented to a greater or lesser extent, in other words, it relates the possibility of "interpretation" of the piece of music using a computer.
To the contrary, this invention has as its objective a simulator of the record deck habitually used by professionals on radio stations and in discotheques which, worked by the operator, effects the mixing of pieces of music which are already edited (not of the instruments of which they are made up), synchronising (in real time) rhythms, as used to be done with vinyl records. The user's action is manual, enabling the professional to be creative.
The U.S. Pat. No. 5,054,077 relates the layout of a traditional mixing console with sliding faders. This invention incorporates a microcomputer, which can slide the faders, which can also be activated manually, controlling the motors. Using a program, this patent automates a large part of the equalizing of the edition of pieces of music, for example MIDI, in studios, for recording purposes, leaving the option of manual action open. It is a motorised fader for a mixing desk.
The EP-0 313 359 patent comprises a Jukebox, designed especially for handling compact discs. This patent has in common with this invention solely the working of digital audiovisual back-up systems, with similar solutions to those already known of the classic jukeboxes with vinyl record back-ups, the function being the same.
The EP 0 310 256 patent shows a recorder which plays back several audio tapes laid out in a magazine, controlled under the action of a control unit. There are several recording, playback actions which can be carried out in sequence on each tape, or as a block. Previous Jukebox solutions for audio tapes are also adapted in this patent.
The EP 0 309 298 patent presents a digital editing system for audio tapes, upon request for an automated selling point. The digitalised information on a videodisc is copied at a speed mode which is faster than the usual, using a "burst" mode transfer. In other words, this patent consists of a system for editing and copying audio tapes, designed for recording personalised tapes as per the customer's preference from a list of tracks with immediate delivery.
The EP 0 291 028 patent relates a system for disc-storage of information, on concentric tracks, whether video or audio, with devices to discriminate automatically the type of information contained in the medium, reading it from this medium.
None of the above patents has the objective of this invention with regard to the editing control using a handling device in the form of a record, nor do they use the technical means employed in this invention.
Up until now, it has not been possible to mix the sound from a compact disc or similar with a conventional record, minidisc, laser disc, video, etc. for playback of the sound and/or image, mixed in a synchronised fashion, efficiently and comfortably.


SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

This invention's manipulator enables synchronised mixing of the sound and/or image, by working a turntable which acts as a simulation of a conventional record.
As per the invention, the manipulator for mixing sound and/or image of digital and/or analog supports comprises: which the operator works, turning it in either direction or s
