25 Questions

1. Most commonly used MIDI receive mode; Device receives only on an assigned selectable data; Ability to play MORE than one note at a time

2. Devices that transmit MIDI data (usually has keys or pads)

3. High Resolution; 14- bit parameter; (Coarse Tune X Fine Tune = 16 -384 Steps of resolution

4. Visual editor for MIDI notes with a piano keyboard running low to high on the left; Also called a Key Editor

5. How quickly sound reaches its peak volume when key is pressed

6. Resembles a large hardware sequencer- type display - but shows all MIDI data that has been recorded on a single page

7. The first drum machine to use digital samples of acoustic drums

8. Recreating a natural sound by using additive synthesis techniques; Requires powerful and expensive hardware; Replaced with the advent of digital sampling

9. Overall sound quality defined by harmonic content

10. Drum machine that generates its sounds using six powerful analog synthesis voices; Runs an innovative - performance- oriented operating system that manipulates beats and sounds in real time without ever stopping play

11. Determines the layout of MIDI channels for each of the multitimbral parts

12. Permanent; Original placement of notes is lost and only the quantized version remains

13. Smooth gliding from one note to another (as in singing or string playing)

14. Allows you to capture anything you play on keys while sequencer is playing back (but not actively recording); Exclusive to Logic Pro

15. Electronic tape- based keyboard instrument featuring prerecorded sounds; Tape bank could be removed and loaded with different sounds

16. Changes an analog audio signal to a digital format (binary data) that can be stored or manipulated on a computer

17. Wave that consists of a single traveling pulse

18. Limits the playback of a certain sample to a certain range on the MIDI keyboard; May sample multiple notes per octave to maintain realism of sampled instruments

19. Deal with the set- up and operating parameters for a MIDI device - Acknowledged by all devices in a MIDI system

20. Specifically designed to emulate the nuances and characteristics of analog synthesizers; AKA => Virtual Analogs; Reduced cost over real analog - zero maintenance - and tuning stability; Increasing in popularity

21. To create or shape

22. Multi Mode; Performance (Perf) Mode; Sequence Mode

23. One of the first affordable samplers; Contained only 2 samples; Very limited functionality

24. Digital sample playback; Natural waveform is digitally recorded and stored as a series of binary code; Near perfect reproduction of original sound; More realistic starting point for the sound

25. Two or more instruments with note ranges that do not overlap
