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. 16 -384






2. Stops the sequence or pattern






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






4. OMNI ON






5. ( 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






6. Pan






7. Base 10






8. 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






9. MIDI Clock; MIDI Sync






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






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






12. 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






13. SPP with added tempo information; Relative






14. MIDI Time Code message sent during playback






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






16. High Resolution (LSB)






17. A way to save or change complete settings






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

19. Resets to default power up state






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






21. Direct; Request; Handshake






22. 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






23. Modulation






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






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






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






27. 16 -384 available Banks; Most common mirrored controller; Each bank contains 128 Programs (0 - 127); 2 -097 -152 possible Program Changes for MIDI






28. Various / FX






29. Voltage signal changes PITCH






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






31. MONO






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






33. F7h






34. 1 (msb) ---> 110 (System Message) ---> 0100 (Which Message)






35. 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






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






37. Manually initiate transfer from device






38. Sustain Pedal






39. Most Significant Byte; Controller #0






40. Relative & Absolute






41. 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






42. Starts a sequence or pattern






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






44. Always referenced from the beginning of the song






45. Least Significant Byte; Controller #32






46. 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'






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






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






49. Controller that will commonly change banks on most MIDI devices (sometimes 0 & 32 are necessary)






50. POLY
