The invention, operating on the MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) standard, aims at providing the personal computer user (12) with an external peripheral (8) in the form of a table of switching and potentiometric controllers and its managing software (9), the whole set enabling real time control of parameters used by controllable client software's (1) or controllable external hardware systems (14) capable of operating the MIDI standard. The invention comprises two parts, hardware and software. The hardware (8) is a console of controllers whereof the electronic production is very simple, hence inexpensive. The software (9), resident in storage after launching, scans the values of the console of controllers via a connection port (13) of the computer. Said values, after being transformed or not, are provided to the client software's in real time by sending messages observing the MIDI standard to a software (10) or hardware (11) MIDI peripheral.

La présente invention, en exploitant la norme MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface), se propose de mettre à la disposition de l'utilisateur d'un ordinateur personnel (12) un périphérique externe (8) sous la forme d'une table de contrôleurs potentiomètres et interrupteurs et son logiciel de gestion (9), le tout permettant un contrôle en temps réel de paramètres utilisés par des logiciels client (1) ou des systèmes matériels externes commandables (14) capables d'exploiter la norme MIDI. La présente invention comprend deux parties, une matérielle et une logicielle. La partie matérielle (8) est un pupitre de contrôleurs dont la réalisation électronique est très simple donc de faible coût. Le logiciel (9), résident en mémoire après lancement, scrute les valeurs des contrôleurs du pupitre via un port de connexion (13) de l'ordinateur. Ces valeurs, après ou non transformation, sont mises à la disposition des logiciels clients en temps réel par l'envoi de messages respectant la norme MIDI à un périphérique MIDI logiciel (10) ou matériel (11).
