System Exclusive Data
System exclusive data allow access to the heart of a MIDI device. They enable access to
data and functions that no other MIDI messages are able to address. "Exclusive" in this
context means that these data pertain only to one device type or model. Every device has
unique system exclusive data. The most common applications for SysEx data include
transfer of entire memories and complete control of a device via a computer.
Trigger
A trigger is a signal that activates events. Trigger signals are very diverse. For instance, a
MIDI note or an audio signal can be used as triggers. The events a trigger can initiate are
also very diverse. A common application for a trigger is when it is used to start an
envelope.
VCA
VCA is the acronym for voltage-controlled amplifier. A VCA is a component that influences
the volume level of a sound via a control signal. This control voltage is often generated by
an envelope or an LFO.
VCF
VCF is the acronym for voltage-controlled filter. It is a filter component that allows you to
manipulate the filter parameters via control voltages.
Volume
The term describes a sound's output level.
