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






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






3. Modulation






4. Beats Per Minute






5. 16 -384 available Banks; Most common mirrored controller; Each bank contains 128 Programs (0 - 127); 2 -097 -152 possible Program Changes for MIDI






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






7. Starts a sequence or pattern






8. 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






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






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






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






12. Tempo & Location






13. High Resolution (LSB)






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






15. A way to save or change complete settings






16. Local ON/OFF






17. 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






18. Base 10






19. Low Resolution (MSB)






20. Switches






21. Most Significant Byte; Controller #0






22. Tells analog oscillators to 'tune up'






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






24. POLY






25. 0 - 32 - Bank Select 1 - Modulation 7 - Volume 10 - Pan 64 - Sustain Pedal






26. SMPTE; MTC; LTC; VITC; SPP






27. 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






28. 16 -384






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






30. Storage Media or Sequence Track






31. Base 2






32. Sustain Pedal






33. Relative & Absolute






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






35. MONO






36. Voltage signal changes PITCH






37. 1 (msb) ---> 110 (System Message) ---> 0100 (Which Message)






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






39. Voltage signal changes AMPLITUDE






40. Various / FX






41. Switches between songs or patterns on a sequence






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






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






44. Stops the sequence or pattern






45. F7h






46. Resets to default power up state






47. SPP with added tempo information; Relative






48. Least Significant Byte; Controller #32






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






50. Volume
