US Patent No. 10,693,428 - Marek Walaszek - System And Method For Control Of An Analog Device- Patents Rock - Russell IP
  • Rockin’ Patent: US Patent No. 10,693,428
  • Filed: 24 May 2018
  • In the name of: Marek Walaszek (inventor)
  • Title: System And Method For Control Of An Analog Device
  • What’s claimed: “An analog device control system, comprising: an analog device control module, comprising computer-executable code stored in non-volatile memory; a processor; and an analog device; wherein the analog device control module, the processor, and the analog device are operably connected and configured to: use the analog device to receive an analog audio signal in the form of a live performance; digitally control the analog device using the analog device control module; and vary the analog audio signal using the analog device control module; wherein varying the analog signal is based on digitally controlling the analog device using the analog device control module, wherein said varying of the analog audio signal comprises digitally changing parameter values of the analog audio signal in substantially real time, wherein said changed parameter values are stored in said memory for later retrieval and application to a subsequent performance.”
  • Why this patent rocks: This patent appears to involve Marek Walaszek’s DAW plug-in control technology, the founder of Bettermaker. It appears that the software plugin controls external hardware in real-time, whereas usually, EQ plugins control EQ within a computer. Bettermaker explains that users can control hardware, such as compressors, limiters and equalizers, from plug-ins that consist of  ‘instant-recall and automation technology’ that  ‘works with all the major DAWs current in operation.’ For more information, see here.
