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. Storage Media or Sequence Track






2. Tells analog oscillators to 'tune up'






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






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






5. Always referenced from the beginning of the song






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






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






8. 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






9. Pan






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






11. SPP with added tempo information; Relative






12. 16 -384 available Banks; Most common mirrored controller; Each bank contains 128 Programs (0 - 127); 2 -097 -152 possible Program Changes for MIDI






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






14. ( 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






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. Various / FX






17. Bank Select






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






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






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






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






22. 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






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






24. All Sounds OFF ~ Cuts all outputs of sound ==> SILENCE






25. OMNI ON






26. Relative & Absolute






27. 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






28. 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






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






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






31. Channel Mode Messages






32. Base 2






33. Starts a sequence or pattern






34. Container that carries all MIDI events in a sequence; Method of grouping MIDI events to make editing and arranging easier






35. Sustain Pedal






36. 1 (msb) ---> 110 (System Message) ---> 0100 (Which Message)






37. 0 - 32 - Bank Select 1 - Modulation 7 - Volume 10 - Pan 64 - Sustain Pedal






38. Resets to default power up state






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






40. Voltage signal changes PITCH






41. MIDI Time Code message sent during playback






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






43. MONO






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






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






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






47. Switches






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






49. Switches between songs or patterns on a sequence






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