Controller

A device that controls the transfer of data from one digital source to another. Any type of interface that generates parameters to a tone-generating device. For example, a software controller is often a graphical object that outputs parameter messages when manipulated. In the same manner, a hardware controller is a measuring device that maps physical actions onto parameters to be used with a tone generator.

Contrôleur

Un contrôleur est un appareil qui permet le transfert de données d'une source numérique à une autre. C'est aussi tout type d'interface permettant de contrôler un générateur de sons. Par exemple, un contrôleur peut être un logiciel de manipulation graphique envoyant des messages correspondant à des paramètres particuliers. De la même manière, un contrôleur externe est un appareil de mesure qui transforme les actions physiques en paramètres pouvant être utilisés avec un générateur de sons.

Controllore

Il controllore è un apparecchio che permette di trasferire i dati da una fonte digitale ad un'altra. È anche qualsiasi tipo di interfaccia per il controllo di un generatore di suono. Può essere ad esempio un software per la manipolazione grafica che invia messaggi corrispondenti a parametri particolari. Nello stesso modo, un controllore hardware è un apparecchio misuratore che trasforma le azioni fisiche in parametri che possono essere utilizzati con un generatore di suono.

Controlador

Un dispositivo que controla la transferencia de datos desde una fuente digital a otra. Cualquier tipo de interfaz que genere los parámetros para manejar un dispositivo productor de sonidos. Por ejemplo, un controlador por software es generalmente, un objeto gráfico que genera los mensajes de ciertos parámetros cuando es manipulado. Del mismo modo, un controlador por hardware es un dispositivo de medición que mapea acciones físicas sobre los parámetros que pueden ser usados con un generador de tonos.
