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. POLY






2. Relative & Absolute






3. 16 -384 available Banks; Most common mirrored controller; Each bank contains 128 Programs (0 - 127); 2 -097 -152 possible Program Changes for MIDI






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






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






6. 00 - 31 = Low Resolution (MSB) 32 - 63 = High Resolution (LSB) 64 - 95 = Switches 96 - 119 = Various / FX 120 - 127 = Channel Mode Messages






7. Tells analog oscillators to 'tune up'






8. Switches between songs or patterns on a sequence






9. Switches






10. MIDI Time Code message sent during playback






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






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






13. Volume






14. 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






15. Modulation






16. Stops the sequence or pattern






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






18. ( 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






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






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






21. Base 2






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






23. Tempo & Location






24. OMNI ON






25. Beats Per Minute






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






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






28. 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






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






30. Pan






31. Most Significant Byte; Controller #0






32. 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'






33. Manually initiate transfer from device






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






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






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






37. SPP with added tempo information; Relative






38. 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






39. Always referenced from the beginning of the song






40. F7h






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






42. 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






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






44. Synchronization to a point in time or a direct address






45. Voltage signal changes PITCH






46. Local ON/OFF






47. How high resolution is achieved in MIDI Controllers






48. 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






49. MIDI Clock; MIDI Sync






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