Replace:
A method of real-time recording in which
previously recorded data is erased (replaced)

Resonance:
A parameter that boosts the level of the
signal in the area of the cutoff frequency. By
emphasizing the overtones in this area, this
can produce a distinctive “peaky” tone,
making the sound brighter and harder.
Return level:
See the entry for Send level.
Reverb:
An effect that simulates the acoustical
reverberance of a room or space. The sound
that reaches our ear usually includes not only

Sequencer:
A block (or device) that records, edits,

the track is soloed.
Song:

performance data on each track.
Standard MIDI File (SMF):
SMF is an acronym for Standard MIDI File; a
standard format that was created to allow

software and hardware manufacturers
provide sequencers that can create and play
back Standard MIDI files.
Step recording:
The method of recording in which music is
input by entering notes one by one,
specifying the note length, velocity, and pitch
