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. F0h (One of the highest priority system message)






2. Base 10






3. Low Resolution (MSB)






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






5. 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






6. OMNI OFF






7. Resets to default power up state






8. ( S -> 01:01:01:01 -> Transport Method ); 1 for 'System Message' -> 8 for SMPTE -> 1 for Transport Method; Data = 0; 3 numbers = Which column of SMPTE; 4 numbers = Value for the column






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. 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






11. Voltage signal changes HARMONIC CONTENT (TIMBRE)






12. Propellerhead Software's standard for timing - audio channels - and transport control available on most DAW's & Sequencers; Designed to control multiple applications within the same computer






13. Beat Clock does not care where the device's location is (where in the song it is) as long as BPM is the same; Always make sure devices are ALL set to the location value desired for start; (Ex... two devices one set at Bar 1 and the other at Bar 9...M






14. Sustain Pedal






15. Tune Request; Song Select; Song Position Pointer; MIDI Time Code






16. High Resolution (LSB)






17. 16 -384






18. Divide the number by 16 and convert remainder to hexadecimal value






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






20. 1 (msb) ---> 110 (System Message) ---> 0100 (Which Message)






21. Bank Select






22. Always referenced from the beginning of the song






23. MONO






24. OMNI ON






25. How high resolution is achieved in MIDI Controllers






26. Used to represent sound or performance parameters (must be used by all manufacturers)






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






28. 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.






29. Contains entire SMPTE address plus the last issued transport command (Start - Stop - Continue); 10 bytes long






30. Manually initiate transfer from device






31. Start of Exclusive; Manufacturer's ID; Product ID; Device ID; Program Data; End of Exclusive (EOX)






32. Least Significant Byte; Controller #32






33. Setting the SMPTE time to match the desired Bars/Beats/Ticks location; Set by the slave device after frame rate is set; Start of sequence should typically be at the same time as the start of media's MTC address






34. Most Significant Byte; Controller #0






35. Message sent for the device to send SysEx data - then sends it to the device; Most commonly used by an editor or library program






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






37. F7h






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






39. 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'






40. Direct; Request; Handshake






41. Voltage signal changes AMPLITUDE






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






43. 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






44. SPP with added tempo information; Relative






45. Controller that will commonly change banks on most MIDI devices (sometimes 0 & 32 are necessary)






46. Modulation






47. Beats Per Minute






48. MIDI Time Code message sent during playback






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






50. POLY
