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






2. Pan






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






4. Various / FX






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






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






7. 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






8. 0 - 32 - Bank Select 1 - Modulation 7 - Volume 10 - Pan 64 - Sustain Pedal






9. 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






10. Beats Per Minute






11. Switches between songs or patterns on a sequence






12. F7h






13. SPP with added tempo information; Relative






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






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






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






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






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






19. OMNI ON






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






21. 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






22. Tells analog oscillators to 'tune up'






23. Base 2






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






25. 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.






26. Message sent for the device to send SysEx data - then sends it to the device; Most commonly used by an editor or library program






27. SMPTE; MTC; LTC; VITC; SPP






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






29. Switches






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






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






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






33. MIDI Clock; MIDI Sync






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






35. Always referenced from the beginning of the song






36. Volume






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






38. Most Significant Byte; Controller #0






39. Direct; Request; Handshake






40. 16 -384






41. 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






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






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






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






45. 16 -384 available Banks; Most common mirrored controller; Each bank contains 128 Programs (0 - 127); 2 -097 -152 possible Program Changes for MIDI






46. Base 10






47. Voltage signal changes PITCH






48. ( 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






49. POLY






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