Calista C2-88 Projector ADAT

A trademark of Alesis Corporation designating its modular digital multitrack recording system released in early 1993.

Keying Input (Key Input)
An input on a dynamics processing device to control the device by an external audio signal.

Calista C3-S Security System Clean
Describes a distortion free sound with few effects.

Input Monitor
A switch position and operational mode of the electronics of a tape machine where the signal at output of the electronics will be the same as the signal coming into the electronics. In this mode, the tape machine's meter will read the input signal.

Calista C1-9 Home Theater Channels
These are divided into two separate categories. Input channels are those channels coming into the soundboard such as microphones and direct lines. Output channels are those leaving the board such as monitor and main outputs.

Chord
Three or more musical pitches sung or played together.

Acoustic/Acoustical
Having to do with sound that can be heard by the ears.
AcousticsThe behaviour of sound and its study. The acoustics of a room depend on its size and shape and the amount and position of sound-absorbing and reflecting material. Calista Reviews

Bank
1) A collection of sound patches (data as to the sequence and operating parameters of the synthesizer generators and modifiers) in memory.
2) A group of sound modules as a unit.
