| 3 | |ProjectID113:chordmap| | |chordmap| | |A scheme of chord progressions | arranged in a flowchart along a time line.| |
| 4 | |ProjectID113:curve| | |curve| | |In DirectMusic | a continuous series of events with a start and end value | such as volume fade.| |
| 5 | |ProjectID113:directx_media_object__dmo_| | |DirectX Media Object (DMO)| | |A COM object that processes multimedia data streams from buffers allocated by the client.| |
| 6 | |ProjectID113:dls| | |DLS| | |See other term: Downloadable Sounds (DLS)| |
| 7 | |ProjectID113:dmo| | |DMO| | |See other term: DirectX Media Object (DMO)| |
| 8 | |ProjectID113:downloadable_sounds__dls_| | |Downloadable Sounds (DLS)| | |A standard for synthesizing wave sounds from digital samples stored in software. The DLS level 1 and level 2 standards are published by the MIDI Manufacturers Association.| |
| 9 | |ProjectID113:groove_level| | |groove level| | |A value given to music during style playback | determining which patterns can be selected at any given time. The author assigns a range of groove levels to each pattern.| |
| 10 | |ProjectID113:latency| | |latency| | |A delay in response. For example | in DirectSound | it is the interval between the time at which a sound buffer plays and the time that the speakers actually reproduce the sound. In DirectPlay | it is the time that it takes for a packet to reach a specified destination.| |
| 11 | |ProjectID113:mix_in_buffer| | |mix-in buffer| | |In DirectSound | a buffer that receives data from other DirectSound buffers rather than directly from the synthesizer.| |
| 12 | |ProjectID113:motif| | |motif| | |In DirectMusic | a type of pattern played explicitly by an application to mark an event.| |
| 13 | |ProjectID113:music_value| | |music value| | |In DirectMusic | a note in a pattern within a style whose pitch is defined only when it is transposed to the current chord according to the current play mode and subchord level.| |
| 14 | |ProjectID113:nonregistered_parameter_number__nrpn_| | |nonregistered parameter number (NRPN)| | |An identifier for a device-specific parameter that can be accessed through a MIDI controller.| |
| 15 | |ProjectID113:nrpn| | |NRPN| | |See definition for: nonregistered parameter number (NRPN)| |
| 16 | |ProjectID113:pattern| | |pattern| | |In DirectMusic | a musical figure | one or more measures long | consisting of a basic sequence of music values for each instrument part.| |
| 17 | |ProjectID113:pchannel| | |PChannel| | |See definition for: performance channel (PChannel)| |
| 18 | |ProjectID113:pcm| | |PCM| | || |
| 19 | |ProjectID113:performance| | |performance| | |In DirectMusic | an object that manages the flow of data from the source to the synthesizer | and controls global values | such as timing | tempo | and master volume.| |
| 20 | |ProjectID113:performance_channel__pchannel_| | |performance channel (PChannel)| | |In DirectMusic | a set of parameters used to play one or more parts in a segment. Each performance channel has its own instrument | pan | volume | and transposition settings | and belongs to a single audiopath.| |
| 21 | |ProjectID113:primary_buffer| | |primary buffer| | |A buffer in which all data is mixed for the final time and then passed to the rendering device.| |
| 22 | |ProjectID113:pulse_code_modulation__pcm_| | |pulse code modulation (PCM)| | |A technique for digitizing audio into an uncompressed format by assigning a value to the amplitude of the signal at fixed intervals.| |
| 23 | |ProjectID113:registered_parameter_number__rpn_| | |registered parameter number (RPN)| | |An identification number for a registered parameter that has been assigned a function by the MIDI Manufacturers Association and can be accessed through controllers.| |
| 24 | |ProjectID113:rolloff| | |rolloff| | |The attenuation of sound over distance.| |
| 25 | |ProjectID113:rpn| | |RPN| | || |
| 26 | |ProjectID113:script| | |script| | |In DirectMusic | a file containing variables and routines that can be accessed from within an application.| |
| 27 | |ProjectID113:segment_state| | |segment state| | |An object created each time a segment is played. It is used to get information about the state of playback and the audiopath for that instance of the segment being played.| |
| 28 | |ProjectID113:send| | |send| | |A sound effect for a buffer that is applied by sending the sound data to a second buffer.| |
| 29 | |ProjectID113:sink| | |sink| | |In DirectX | an object that manages the distribution of data from the synthesizer through buses to DirectSound buffers.| |
| 30 | |ProjectID113:sink_in_buffer| | |sink-in buffer| | |A DirectSound buffer that receives data directly from the synthesizer rather than from other DirectSound buffers.| |
| 31 | |ProjectID113:static_buffer| | |static buffer| | |A secondary sound buffer that contains an entire sound. Typically the buffer is filled with data only once.| |
| 32 | |ProjectID113:streaming_buffer| | |streaming buffer| | |A secondary sound buffer that contains only part of a sound. Its data must be refreshed as it is playing.| |
| 33 | |ProjectID113:style| | |style| | |In DirectMusic | a collection of musical patterns and other data that can be used to create a dynamic score. A style defines a basic melody and rhythm with variations | motifs | and embellishments | contains a time signature and a tempo | and can contain one or more bands.| |
| 34 | |ProjectID113:template| | |template| | |In DirectMusic | a segment that can be used in combination with a chordmap to compose a new segment at run time.| |
