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






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






4. Voltage signal changes PITCH






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






6. Bank Select






7. Direct; Request; Handshake






8. Relative & Absolute






9. 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






10. Beats Per Minute






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






12. 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.






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






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






15. Channel Mode Messages






16. 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






17. How high resolution is achieved in MIDI Controllers






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






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






20. Local ON/OFF






21. 16 -384 available Banks; Most common mirrored controller; Each bank contains 128 Programs (0 - 127); 2 -097 -152 possible Program Changes for MIDI






22. 00 - 31 = Low Resolution (MSB) 32 - 63 = High Resolution (LSB) 64 - 95 = Switches 96 - 119 = Various / FX 120 - 127 = Channel Mode Messages






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






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






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

26. OMNI OFF






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






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






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






30. Timing Clock; Start; Continue; Stop; Active Sensing; System Reset






31. 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






32. SMPTE; MTC; LTC; VITC; SPP






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






34. F7h






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






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






37. Always referenced from the beginning of the song






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






39. 1 (msb) ---> 110 (System Message) ---> 0100 (Which Message)






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






41. 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






42. Starts a sequence or pattern






43. Least Significant Byte; Controller #32






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






45. Pan






46. Voltage signal changes HARMONIC CONTENT (TIMBRE)






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






48. Most Significant Byte; Controller #0






49. Volume






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