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






2. 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






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






4. High Resolution (LSB)






5. Direct; Request; Handshake






6. MONO






7. Voltage signal changes HARMONIC CONTENT (TIMBRE)






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






9. Base 2






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. 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






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






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






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






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






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






17. 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






18. Stops the sequence or pattern






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






20. Always referenced from the beginning of the song






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






22. Resets to default power up state






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






24. 2 Bytes Long; 4 sent per frame of SMPTE; 8 frames needed to make a complete SMPTED address; 2 full frames of SMPTE are needed to visually update the address






25. OMNI ON






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

27. Voltage signal changes AMPLITUDE






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






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






30. A way to save or change complete settings






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






32. 16 -384






33. Pan






34. SPP with added tempo information; Relative






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






36. Beats Per Minute






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






38. 16 -384 available Banks; Most common mirrored controller; Each bank contains 128 Programs (0 - 127); 2 -097 -152 possible Program Changes for MIDI






39. Low Resolution (MSB)






40. OMNI OFF






41. Least Significant Byte; Controller #32






42. Volume






43. MIDI Clock; MIDI Sync






44. Starts a sequence or pattern






45. Sustain Pedal






46. Voltage signal changes PITCH






47. F7h






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






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






50. Storage Media or Sequence Track
