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. Manually initiate transfer from device






2. Base 2






3. Bank Select






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






5. 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.






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






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






8. POLY






9. Low Resolution (MSB)






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






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






12. Guitar - Bass - Strings - & Monophonic Audio- to-Video Conversion; More Expressive






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






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






15. 16 -384






16. Reset All Controllers






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






18. Direct; Request; Handshake






19. MONO






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






21. Channel Mode Messages






22. Local ON/OFF






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






24. 16 -384 available Banks; Most common mirrored controller; Each bank contains 128 Programs (0 - 127); 2 -097 -152 possible Program Changes for MIDI






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






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






27. 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






28. F7h






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






30. Pan






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






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






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






34. Volume






35. 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






36. Always referenced from the beginning of the song






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






38. Starts a sequence or pattern






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






40. A way to save or change complete settings






41. High Resolution (LSB)






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






43. Beats Per Minute






44. 1 (msb) ---> 110 (System Message) ---> 0100 (Which Message)






45. Base 10






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






47. How high resolution is achieved in MIDI Controllers






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






49. SMPTE; MTC; LTC; VITC; SPP






50. Modulation
