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. 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






2. MONO






3. 00 - 31 = Low Resolution (MSB) 32 - 63 = High Resolution (LSB) 64 - 95 = Switches 96 - 119 = Various / FX 120 - 127 = Channel Mode Messages






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






5. Starts a sequence or pattern






6. Sustain Pedal






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






8. Manually initiate transfer from device






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






10. F7h






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






12. Low Resolution (MSB)






13. MIDI Time Code message sent during playback






14. Relative & Absolute






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






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






17. SPP with added tempo information; Relative






18. Base 16 (0 - F); The numbers 0 - 9 are still the same but the numbers 10 - 15 are represented by the letters A - F






19. Voltage signal changes PITCH






20. Always referenced from the beginning of the song






21. Beats Per Minute






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

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /var/www/html/basicversity.com/show_quiz.php on line 183


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






24. Tempo & Location






25. High Resolution (LSB)






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






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






28. Channel Mode Messages






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






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






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






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






33. Bank Select






34. Voltage signal changes HARMONIC CONTENT (TIMBRE)






35. Switches between songs or patterns on a sequence






36. Various / FX






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






38. Least Significant Byte; Controller #32






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






40. A way to save or change complete settings






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






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






43. 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






44. Storage Media or Sequence Track






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






46. 0 - 32 - Bank Select 1 - Modulation 7 - Volume 10 - Pan 64 - Sustain Pedal






47. 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






48. Pan






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






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