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

2. Beats Per Minute






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






4. Storage Media or Sequence Track






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






6. Base 10






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






8. 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






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






10. 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






11. Pan






12. 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'






13. Starts a sequence or pattern






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






15. 16 -384 available Banks; Most common mirrored controller; Each bank contains 128 Programs (0 - 127); 2 -097 -152 possible Program Changes for MIDI






16. 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






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






18. A way to save or change complete settings






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






20. Low Resolution (MSB)






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






22. Tells analog oscillators to 'tune up'






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






24. 00 - 31 = Low Resolution (MSB) 32 - 63 = High Resolution (LSB) 64 - 95 = Switches 96 - 119 = Various / FX 120 - 127 = Channel Mode Messages






25. MIDI Clock; MIDI Sync






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






27. 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.






28. 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






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






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






31. MONO






32. OMNI ON






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






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






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






36. Various / FX






37. 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






38. How high resolution is achieved in MIDI Controllers






39. OMNI OFF






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






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






42. 1 (msb) ---> 110 (System Message) ---> 0100 (Which Message)






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






44. Reset All Controllers






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






46. Direct; Request; Handshake






47. F7h






48. Bank Select






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






50. Volume
