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. Local ON/OFF






2. Stops the sequence or pattern






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






4. High Resolution (LSB)






5. Always referenced from the beginning of the song






6. Voltage signal changes AMPLITUDE






7. 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






8. Switches






9. SMPTE; MTC; LTC; VITC; SPP






10. Switches between songs or patterns on a sequence






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






12. Beats Per Minute






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






14. 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'






15. 1 (msb) ---> 110 (System Message) ---> 0100 (Which Message)






16. How high resolution is achieved in MIDI Controllers






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






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






19. MONO






20. Modulation






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






22. POLY






23. 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.






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






25. OMNI ON






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






27. 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






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. Resets to default power up state






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






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






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






33. Message sent for the device to send SysEx data - then sends it to the device; Most commonly used by an editor or library program






34. Starts a sequence or pattern






35. Various / FX






36. OMNI OFF






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

38. A way to save or change complete settings






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






40. Most Significant Byte; Controller #0






41. Channel Mode Messages






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






43. Volume






44. MIDI Time Code message sent during playback






45. Pan






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






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






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






49. 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






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