12. Glossary I M Initialize The act of restoring a parameter to its most basic "initial" value. Interval Time A delay inserted at regular intervals when transmitting bulk data that was recorded in a sequence track. L LFO An acronym for Low Frequency Oscillator, a circuit that produces a signal at a low frequency. The signal from the LFO can be used to modulate pitch, volume or tone to produce effects such as vibrato, tremolo and wah. Local Sample Voice A sample which available for use by only a specific song or style. Up to 128 local sample voices can be stored for each song or style. Samples which are available for use by all songs or styles are known as "common sample voices". Loop Repeat playback of all or a specified section of a sample. Low Pass Filter A type of filter which cuts the high frequencies. The sound can be brightened by raising the cutoff frequency of the filter, or darkened by lowering it. LSB An acronym for Least Significant Byte, referring to the lower byte of data when MIDI control change data is divided into two bytes (the MSB and LSB) for transmission. MIDI An acronym for Musical Instruments Digital Interface, a standard for transferring data between musical instruments. Most electronic musical instruments today implement the MIDI specification and provide MIDI connectors. Such instruments can be connected together to create remote performance or automatic performance systems. MIDI Channel 16 MIDI channels are provided - 1 ~ 16 - and the transmitting and receiving devices must be set to the same channel to allow communication of performance data. MIDI Data Filer A MIDI device that receives data for the internal settings of a MIDI device in the form of System Exclusive messages, and stores them to floppy disk. An example is the YAMAHA MDF3 MIDI data filer. MIDI Time Code (MTC) A time-based synchronization signal which allows synchronization of MIDI equipment, multitrack recorders, and other linear recording/playback devices. MTC is based on the industry-standard SMPTE time code. MIDI Wind Controller A sophisticated breath controller that play like a saxophone or similar wind instrument while producing MIDI performance data that can be used to control MIDI tone generators, sequencers, etc. An example of a high-performance MIDI Wind Controller is the YAMAHA WX5. MSB An acronym for Most Significant Byte, referring to the upper byte of data when MIDI control change data is divided into two bytes (the MSB and LSB) for transmission. Appendix RS7000 337
