Test your basic knowledge |

Subject : engineering
Instructions:
  • Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. Most Significant Byte; Controller #0






2. A pulse is sent out every 300 ms; If a slave device receives them it will function normally






3. Multiply the values (2nd Data Bytes) of a Low Resolution and a High Resolution Controller together; Controller numbers (1st Data Bytes) must be 32 digits apart






4. (MIDI Beat Clock) - Keeps devices locked to the same tempo (24 PPQN)






5. Increments of 16th notes measured from the beginning of the song; Provides bars - beats - and ticks; Relative






6. Sometimes called a USER ID; Can be changed on two pieces of the same equipment






7. Voltage signal changes HARMONIC CONTENT (TIMBRE)






8. Reset All Controllers






9. Assigned by MMA and JMSC; These need to be used with all future SysEx messages or they will be ignored (think saved patches)

10. Series of tempo- related electronic timing markers embedded in the MIDI data stream; Revolves around BPM; 24 PPQN; Also known as the Timing Clock; Setup is generally the same as MTC






11. Synchronization to the timing or speed of a pattern or song






12. Using handshake wiring - requests for data are continuously sent between devices






13. Volume






14. Looks previous to the play line for any prior MIDI information and updates the sequence accordingly; Most commonly used with Program Change and Controller Messages






15. High Resolution (LSB)






16. 1 (msb) ---> 110 (System Message) ---> 0100 (Which Message)






17. Using a key - button - pad - slider - knob - etc. to generate a MIDI message; 80% - 90% of MIDI controllers use this method for MIDI conversion






18. Tempo & Location






19. Based on System Exclusive; Allows more control over MIDI devices unlike standard Common or RealTime messages; Fast-Forward - Fast-Rewind - Shuttle Control - Track Arming - Variable Playback - etc.






20. A way to save or change complete settings






21. How high resolution is achieved in MIDI Controllers






22. Converting an analog signal or sound into a MIDI message






23. Sustain Pedal






24. SPP with added tempo information; Relative






25. Resets to default power up state






26. Model number (functions similar to MAN ID but happens after the MAN ID is validated)






27. MIDI Time Code message only sent on start - stop or continue






28. Bank Select






29. Base 2






30. Container that carries all MIDI events in a sequence; Method of grouping MIDI events to make editing and arranging easier






31. Low Resolution (MSB)






32. Least Significant Byte; Controller #32






33. Manually initiate transfer from device






34. Continues the sequence or pattern from where it was last stopped






35. MIDI's version of SMPTE; Contains two types of messages (full frame & quarter frame)






36. Base 16 (0 - F); The numbers 0 - 9 are still the same but the numbers 10 - 15 are represented by the letters A - F






37. The process of locking two or more devices together in time and/or tempo






38. Time code developed for the film industry but now extensively used in music and recording; Related to hours - minutes - seconds and film or video frames rather than to musical tempo; Absolute






39. Status Byte = Controller + Channel Data Byte 1 = Controller Number Data Byte 2 = 0 - 127 (Value/Range)






40. (Controller + Channel) + Controller # + Amount






41. MIDI Time Code; Sub- format of SMPTE; Absolute






42. Base 10






43. 16 -384






44. F0h (One of the highest priority system message)






45. F7h






46. Locks devices to the same location (in increments of 16th notes)






47. The parameters that make up an operating system; Think of it like the 'stuff a band would need to do before actually making music during practice'






48. Controls some aspect of sound on a channel; 128 Different controllers available (1 -127); Give us the ability to automate changes when recorded






49. Internal device expressed in BPM that keeps multiple devices locked at the same tempo; Also known at the MIDI Beat Clock; Setup is generally the same as MTC






50. Guitar - Bass - Strings - & Monophonic Audio- to-Video Conversion; More Expressive
