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. Bank Select






2. Voltage signal changes HARMONIC CONTENT (TIMBRE)






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. Keyboards - Wind Controllers - Brass Controllers - Electronic Drums - and Control Surfaces; Significantly less latency






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






6. High Resolution (LSB)






7. Using handshake wiring - requests for data are continuously sent between devices






8. Tempo & Location






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






10. Storage Media or Sequence Track






11. Direct; Request; Handshake






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






13. Low Resolution (MSB)






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






15. 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






16. MIDI Time Code message sent during playback






17. Always referenced from the beginning of the song






18. Voltage signal changes PITCH






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. ( 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






21. Volume






22. 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






23. 0 - 32 - Bank Select 1 - Modulation 7 - Volume 10 - Pan 64 - Sustain Pedal






24. 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'






25. OMNI ON






26. 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






27. Manually initiate transfer from device






28. Least Significant Byte; Controller #32






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






30. SPP with added tempo information; Relative






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






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






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






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






35. SMPTE; MTC; LTC; VITC; SPP






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






37. Sustain Pedal






38. Pan






39. Channel Mode Messages






40. A way to save or change complete settings






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






42. Relative & Absolute






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






44. Base 2






45. 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






46. Resets to default power up state






47. F7h






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






49. 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.






50. MONO
