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. OMNI OFF






2. Channel Mode Messages






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






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






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






6. Always referenced from the beginning of the song






7. Base 2






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






9. Actual bulk of data; Easily up to 100 parameters (Patch Name - Filters - LFO - Oscillator Settings - and all other data)






10. Base 10






11. 16 -384






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. Low Resolution (MSB)






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






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






16. All Notes OFF (Release Time) ~ Does not guarantee a complete sound loss






17. (Vertical Interval Time Code); Popular method for recording time code onto videotape; Video version of SMPTE; Absolute






18. Volume






19. MIDI Clock; MIDI Sync






20. Preferred; Not referenced from the beginning of the song; Slave always identifies with location of bar






21. Tempo & Location






22. Single MIDI message; Status Byte + associated Data Bytes; Can be edited individually allowing complete control over every minute detail of the MIDI sequence






23. Tells analog oscillators to 'tune up'






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






25. Designed for the Theatrical and Staging Industries; Allows MIDI to control over audio and video playback systems - lighting & effects - pyrotechnics - machinery - and robotics






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






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






28. 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






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






30. POLY






31. Voltage signal changes PITCH






32. 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






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

34. Stops the sequence or pattern






35. All Sounds OFF ~ Cuts all outputs of sound ==> SILENCE






36. Switches between songs or patterns on a sequence






37. Longitudinal Time Code; When SMPTE time code is encoded as an audio signal on audio track; Audio version of SMPTE; Absolute






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






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






40. Starts a sequence or pattern






41. 0 - 32 - Bank Select 1 - Modulation 7 - Volume 10 - Pan 64 - Sustain Pedal






42. Relative & Absolute






43. Direct; Request; Handshake






44. High Resolution (LSB)






45. 16 -384 available Banks; Most common mirrored controller; Each bank contains 128 Programs (0 - 127); 2 -097 -152 possible Program Changes for MIDI






46. A way to save or change complete settings






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






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






49. Various / FX






50. Sustain Pedal
