    • 0

    • 10

    • B

    • F

    Correct Answer
    A. 10
    Explanation
    The Hex columns represent hexadecimal numbers, which range from 0 to F. In hexadecimal, the digits 0-9 represent the numbers 0-9, and the letters A-F represent the numbers 10-15. Therefore, the character "10" cannot be entered into either of the Hex columns because it is not a valid hexadecimal digit.

    A status byte contains two types of information, select the both of them

    • Type of Message

    • Controller Type

    • Note On

    • Velocity

    • Channel Number

    • Sys Ex

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Type of Message
    A. Channel Number
    Explanation
    A status byte contains information about the type of message being sent and the channel number on which it is being transmitted. This information is important for the receiving device to interpret and respond to the message correctly. Other options such as Controller Type, Note On, Velocity, and Sys Ex are not typically included in the status byte.

    Rate this question:

  • 17. 

    What function is being described below: When a command or string is repeated over and over again, in order to reduce the amount of uneccessary data, the status byte, if repeated, is only sent once. The significance of a data byte always beginning with a 0 and a status byte always beginning with a 1 allows the system to instantly tell if it has recieved a data byte or a status byte. As a result if there are a string of note on message for example, rather than sending Status Byte, Data Byte 1, Data Byte 2, Status Byte, Data Byte 1, Data Byte 2, Status Byte, Data Byte 1, Data Byte 2. It would remove the 2nd and 3rd status bytes and instead send; Status Byte, Data Byte 1, Data Byte 2, Data Byte 1, Data Byte 2,

    • Sys Ex Dump

    • Running Status

    • Compression

    • Expansion

    Correct Answer
    A. Running Status
    Explanation
    Running Status is the function being described in the given passage. Running Status is a feature in MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) communication where the status byte is only sent once if it is repeated consecutively. This helps reduce the amount of unnecessary data being transmitted. The passage explains that the significance of a data byte beginning with 0 and a status byte beginning with 1 allows the system to instantly differentiate between the two. In the example given, instead of sending multiple status bytes in a string of note on messages, Running Status would remove the repeated status bytes and only send the necessary data bytes.

    Rate this question:

  • 18. 

    Which of the following is the structure of a midi message

    • Data Byte, Status Byte 1, Status Byte 2

    • Data Byte 1, Data Byte 2, Status Byte

    • Status Byte, Data Byte 1, Data Byte 2

    • Status Byte 1, Status Byte 2, Data Byte

    Correct Answer
    A. Status Byte, Data Byte 1, Data Byte 2
    Explanation
    The structure of a MIDI message is typically composed of a status byte followed by two data bytes. The status byte indicates the type of message being sent, such as note on/off or control change. The data bytes contain the specific information associated with the message, such as the note number or the control value. In this case, the correct answer is "Status Byte, Data Byte 1, Data Byte 2," which follows the standard MIDI message structure.
