Loading:
To transfer data from one data storage medium to another (i.e. from disk to
semiconductor memory or vice-versa).
Low pass filter:
A filter whose frequency response remains flat up to a certain frequency, then
rolls off (i.e. attenuates signals appearing at its input) above this point.
Memory:
The part of a computer responsible for storing data.
MIDI:
Acronym for Musical Instrument Digital Interface, a means of transmitting data to, and
receiving data from, a variety of musical instruments.
Modulation:
The process of one control voltage source influencing a sound processor or other
control voltage source. Example: Modulating pitch cyclically produces vibrato. Modulating a filter
cyclically produces wa-wa effects.
Punch-in:
When recording, punching in over-writes a previously recorded track starting at the
punch in point.
Punch-out:
When recording, punching out stops the recording process initiated by a punch-in,
thus preserving the previously recorded track starting at the punch out point.
Q:
The figure expressing a filter’s resonance; varying Q varies the “sharpness” of the filter
sound.
Sampling:
The process of recording a sound into memory.
Signal Processing:
The art of modifying an existing sound through the use of electronic
circuitry.
SMPTE:
Acronym for Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers who adopted a
standard time code in order to synchronize video and audio.
Tremolo:
A cyclic change in amplitude, usually in the range of 7 to 14 Hz.
VCA:
Voltage Controlled Amplifier. A circuit whose gain is determined by a control voltage.
VCF:
Voltage Controlled Filter. A filter whose cut-off frequency or resonant frequency is
determined by a control voltage.
Velocity-sensitive keyboard:
A keyboard that sends out a control signal representing the
speed with which keys are pressed; this corresponds to the dynamics with which the player
plays the keyboard.
Vibrato:
A cyclic change in pitch, usually in the range of 7 to 14 Hz.
