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






2. A way to save or change complete settings






3. Tells analog oscillators to 'tune up'






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






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






6. Voltage signal changes HARMONIC CONTENT (TIMBRE)






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






8. MONO






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






11. Base 10






12. SMPTE; MTC; LTC; VITC; SPP






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






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






15. 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






16. SPP with added tempo information; Relative






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






18. Channel Mode Messages






19. Various / FX






20. 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






21. 2 Bytes Long; 4 sent per frame of SMPTE; 8 frames needed to make a complete SMPTED address; 2 full frames of SMPTE are needed to visually update the address






22. ( 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






23. Beats Per Minute






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






25. 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






26. 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






27. Bank Select






28. 1 (msb) ---> 110 (System Message) ---> 0100 (Which Message)






29. Starts a sequence or pattern






30. Pan






31. 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






32. 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






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






34. Volume






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






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






37. Manually initiate transfer from device






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






39. 16 -384 available Banks; Most common mirrored controller; Each bank contains 128 Programs (0 - 127); 2 -097 -152 possible Program Changes for MIDI






40. Stops the sequence or pattern






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






42. Direct; Request; Handshake






43. Reduces the load by about ? (30 -33%) by removing redundant Status Bytes; Only for Channel Messages; Occurs only on playback; Function of the Sequencer; Basically drops similar status bytes so they don't have to be repeated each time






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






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






46. Voltage signal changes AMPLITUDE






47. POLY






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






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






50. Tempo & Location
