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. Sustain Pedal






2. Pan






3. Switches






4. MONO






5. Various / FX






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






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






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






9. MIDI Clock; MIDI Sync






10. Relative & Absolute






11. SMPTE; MTC; LTC; VITC; SPP






12. Channel Mode Messages






13. Manually initiate transfer from device






14. POLY






15. Storage Media or Sequence Track






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






17. 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






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






19. Switches between songs or patterns on a sequence






20. MIDI Time Code message sent during playback






21. 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'






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. Voltage signal changes AMPLITUDE






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






25. 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






26. 16 -384 available Banks; Most common mirrored controller; Each bank contains 128 Programs (0 - 127); 2 -097 -152 possible Program Changes for MIDI






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






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






29. 1 (msb) ---> 110 (System Message) ---> 0100 (Which Message)






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






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






32. A way to save or change complete settings






33. Resets to default power up state






34. Least Significant Byte; Controller #32






35. Beats Per Minute






36. OMNI ON






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






38. High Resolution (LSB)






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






40. ( 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






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






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






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






44. Stops the sequence or pattern






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






46. 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.






47. Bank Select






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






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






50. Voltage signal changes PITCH
