In the Ra Player, what are ‘Grooves'?
Grooves are used to create complex groups of instruments to be played in the multi-timbral mode. Grooves can be cobbled together from elements and live performances that are loaded into the library.
Grooves are quantization templates that were performed for the Play engine by professionals. They are used to create a timing template for the Ra libraries.
Grooves' are live performances played by masters of whatever instrument is selected. They are meant to be played to add a level of authenticity to a given work. MIDI performances can only capture so much emotion.
Grooves are personal selections by the library's producer. These deep selections are considered the cream of the crop when it comes to overall performance, playability, and feel.

What are ‘Taped' drums in the Ghostwriter library?
Taped drums are drums that were recorded to cassette deck
Taped drums were simply drums that were recorded with tape placed on the drum heads to dampen the sound
Taped drums were recorded to analog tape and run through a digital mastering system before being laid back to yet another tape machine
Taped drums are multi-sampled drums that were created by reversing and re-recording taped drums to give them an interesting, pre-lapped sound
7
What is the difference between ‘Live' and ‘Element' instruments?
‘Live' instruments are played live by real players in a real space and recoded with microphones. ‘Elements' are synthesized components that are created by a computer model.
Live' instruments are meant to be switch articulations via the DAW in real time using velocity and mod wheel, and elements are all of the individual articulations available by keyswitches.
‘Live' instruments were recorded acoustically and are contiguous performances of the instruments' articulations. ‘Elements' are sound elements of the performance mapped across the keyboard.
‘Live' instruments are acoustically recorded in an open studio space with microphones. ‘Elements' are individual articulations that are recorded direct through a recording console and DI.

Round Robin is a way of transforming modulation information into MIDI note information
Round Robin is a pitch effect where when you run past MIDI note 127, you are given an extra bank of 127 notes.
Round Robin is when you use keyswitching to choose different articulations of an instrument
Round robin is when a different sample is used for each hit when hitting the same key multiple times.
11
In MOR2, what are ‘performances'?
Performances are mixer snapshots that are cycled through as you play a guitar library. These snapshots are used to automate a mix.
Performances are used as a real-time capture tool for getting a scratch track from a played lick that was never meant to be recorded. Play is always listening. ALWAYS.
Performances are actual riffs played by real guitar players on the instrument that is featured in the MOR2 library.
Performances in MOR2 are a new Multi-timbral mode used for playing multiple guitars at once.
12
How do you determine the way the outputs of ProDrummer are going to be assigned in Play and your DAW?
The outputs are set for each channel of ProDrummer, and they dynamically allocate depending on what DAW and audio interface you are using.
The outputs of ProDrummer are automatically assigned depending on the physical outputs and inputs of your audio interface. These are also reflected in the DAW.
ProDrummer's outputs are changed directly in the mixer section. The input of the audio that is coming from Play is allocated in your DAW depending on how you chose the plugin to open.
The outputs are activated in the Play's Player view, reflected in the browser view, then cabled to your DAW via ReWire.

When using the African drums in Ra, how are the different drums laid out in the keyboard?
The higher frequency elements are usually found in the the higher octaves, including stick effects. The lower octaves are usually lower pitched drum elements.

The drums are laid out according to the General MIDI protocol for drum set.
The drums are laid out in a chromatic fashion, low drums on black keys and higher pitched elements on white keys.

The J37 Denotes the type of drum shell that is being used. It is from Joe's custom Maple kit that he brought into EastWest for his sessions.
The J37 channel strips are to be used in conjunction with the other channel strips as a resonating membrane. Sympathetic reverberation is provided by a mathematical model of a 2 dimensional membrane
The J37 was a specific german microphone that was used to record certain drum elements. Often described as a ‘condenser that sounds like a dynamic mic'.
They were designed by Joe Chiccarelli as drum elements that had been recorded to tape. These elements should be used instead of the clean elements if wanted, for they may cause phase issues due to wow and flutter.
21
What is ‘Beating'?
Beating is when 2 notes are very close in pitch and playing at nearly the same amplitude. The difference between the tones is represented by a perceptible wobble in amplitude and frequency, especially in low tones.
Beating is a method of playing drums by hitting the drum with a cold fish.
Beating is something that happens in water based precision with the water is over-filled, causing a noticeable perspiration on the outside of the instrument.

What causes a frame drum to sound more prominent in the mid-range rather than deep and resonant?
Playing near the edge
Playing with a muting hand
Dampening the head with tape
Playing with a plain strike
