1
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.
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 of ProDrummer are automatically assigned depending on the physical outputs and inputs of your audio interface. These are also reflected in the DAW.
The outputs are activated in the Play's Player view, reflected in the browser view, then cabled to your DAW via ReWire.
2
How do you use the ‘Elements' version of the Telecaster library?
The elements are selected via mod wheel.
The elements are selected via keyswitching.
The elements are selected via mod wheel and velocity.
In the Player, you need to select which articulations to use for the instrument. These can be blended in creative ways.
3
Sometimes, instruments will load very quickly in Ghostwriter, and others will take a bit longer. What's the deal?
Instruments that are loading quickly are automatically loading into RAM. Be sure to check your RAM buffer after they load.
Some instruments were created using compressed audio files types, while others were created using PCM audio files.
Some instrument variations are being created simply by different production techniques. The samples loaded are common. These variations don't have to reload samples.
Instruments created in an older version of play may load a bit slowly due to the new Play architecture.
4
What do you get in different octaves of the electric guitars of Ghostwriter?
Chugs, Up strum and down strum
FX, palm mutes, and Round Robin samples
Chugs, Mutes, and harmonics
Harmonics, Chugs, and squeals
5
What is different about the drums in Ministry of Rock 2 vs. the other libraries we have seen in the course?
The MOR 2 drums are recorded in an abandoned nuclear power plant. How metal is that?
The MOR2 drum kits are jazz kits that were intentionally played in a rock manner.
The drums have a small, simple mixer in the Player area.
The MOR2 drums were mixed by Lars Ulrich of Metallica.
6
What does DI stand for?
Direct Interface
Direct Interface
Direct Input

7
How can you force legato mode on in the Les Paul libraries?
Choose ‘Force Legato' from the main menu.
Choose the legato articulations from the articulation list in the lower right of the player.
Choose ‘force legato' from the browser window.
De-select the ‘triggered legato' button in the Player.
8
What effects are most commonly found in the Player regardless of library? (Excluding ProDrummer)
Chorus, Flanger and Phaser
Delay, Modulation, LFO
Articulations, Distortion, and Spectral Delay
Reverb, Filter, and an amp envelope
9
When using the African drums in Ra, how are the different drums laid out in the keyboard?
The drums are laid out according to the General MIDI protocol for drum set.
The drums are laid out in a tritone starting from C. Each ensuing white note on the keyboard has a tritone family member that plays the round robin articulation of the instrument type.
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 in a chromatic fashion, low drums on black keys and higher pitched elements on white keys.
10
What is the main difference between the Master channel Strip effects and the other channel strips?
The master channel strip is where the convolution reverb and bus compressor are located
The master channel strip has no effects. Only the individual channel strips have effects
The master channel strip is where the multiband compressor is located
The master channel strip is a VCA fader, unlike the individual channel strips
11
What is the Mod wheel most frequently assigned to in Ra?
The Mod Wheel is usually assigned to pitch
The mod wheel is usually assigned to the LFO speed
The Mod wheel is frequently used to change the filter cutoff dynamically
12
How do you create a drum arrangement in ProDrummer?
Grooves can be dragged into the timeline from the browser
Grooves can be dragged into the ProDrummer timeline from the Finder window
Open the Groove tab, then drag the grooves to the tracks area of logic
Open the Grooves tab, pick a groove via the browser, then drag that groove to the ProDrummer Timeline
13
What is legato ‘sensing'?
Legato sensing automatically changes note end values to engage legato mode.
Legato will activate legato when 2 notes are held simultaneously and disengage when one of the notes is released.
Legato sensing is only engaged when you extend the note offs of your performance so that the notes are overlapping by 400 ticks or more.
Legato sensing is an intelligent script that decides whether or not to engage legato mode depending on the performance of the composer.
14
How did the hohner D6 clarinet get its sound?
It was a fretted instrument that was played with a piano keyboard
It was a stringed instrument that was hammered like a piano
It created bell-like tones from using hammers and tone bars
It was a plucked instrument that was played with quills from turkey feathers
15
How are groups used in MOR2 drums?
The groups are used for mixer automation in the mixer section, and are triggered by the automation mode of your DAW.
Groups are used to route the audio to the multiple outputs of the mixer section.
The MOR2 drums are created as a multi-timbral instrument that has different groups that are assigned to the same channel. This makes selecting different groups of drums much easier for mixing and matching kits.
Groups are a way to normalize the volume levels across multiple mixer channels in the mixer section. Rather like an automated compressor.
16
What is one of the ways that Middle Eastern instruments differ from similar western counterparts?
Played in a ‘Di Gamba' style, rather than under the chin
Intonation and Character
Color and weight
They are not different at all. This is a western presumption
17
What is Ohmicide?
A limited-band dynamic equalizer
A muti-band saturation plugin
A multiband de-esser
A multiband compressor
18
What is the main focus of the Ra sound library?
Ra is a collection of cinematic sound design to be used in film, games, and TV
Ra is a collection of stringed instruments from different regions of the Nile
The Ra library is primarily a collection of Egyptian instruments from the Middle East
The Ra library is a collection of multi-sampled instruments from around the world focusing on the Americas, Europe, the Middle East, the Far East, and India
19
What does ‘Round Robin' mean?
Round robin is when a different sample is used for each hit when hitting the same key multiple times.
Round Robin is a way of transforming modulation information into MIDI note information
Round Robin is when you use keyswitching to choose different articulations of an instrument
Round Robin is a pitch effect where when you run past MIDI note 127, you are given an extra bank of 127 notes.
20
What is the best way to get great performance out of the MOR2 Basses?
The Basses in MOR2 will groove automatically when you strike a key, playing a rhythm determined by your velocity. The higher the velocity, the more intense the performance.
Set their polyphony to a single note. This will create a very convincing performance due to the legato sensing in the instrument.
Basses in the MOR2 library were coded to make your piano keyboard function more like a bass. The keys of the keyboard are broken up into 4 sets of chromatic scales, a fourth apart from each other.
The basses in MOR2 were meant to be played with a stringed input controller and are set automatically to multi-mono for convincing response.
21
How do you add the Ra library to the Play engine?
Located the System Menu item for the Play engine, click on it, then choose the library from the dropdown menu.
In the finder window, find the Ra Play engine icon. Under ‘Services', add the Ra library to the Play engine.
Open a browser, locate soundsonline.com, and add your library under ‘Installations and Registration'. A window will pop up asking for your administrative password. Enter your password and the Play engine will see the library.
Control-click in the lower left library area in the browser window, and add the library location.
22
How do you load an alternate drum?
Drag and drop from the Finder window, or download the sample to the drum location via composer cloud.
Choose the alternate drum from the browser window.
Click on the drum desired, then click its disclosure triangle. Pick the new drum from the drop-down menu.
Drag and drop from the sample folder to the drum location desired.
23
What is legato scripting?
Legato scripting is a coding language developed by East West for the Play engine to automatically call out the articulations that are happening at any given moment and feed that into the DAW of choice.
Legato scripting is a way to adjust the attack and release of a given instrument to indicate that an instrument is being either bowed or plucked.
Ra has the ability to analyze a performance by the composer and determine when a note needs to be re-triggered. When legato mode is engaged, the instrument will glide between note seamlessly with no retriger.
Legato scripting is used to add latin nomenclature to an instrument for orchestration purposes, even if the instrument is from the Middle East, india, or the Far East.
24
What is preset morph?
Preset morph allows you to switch between different snapshots of Ohmicide, smoothly transitioning from one snapshot setting to another
Preset morph allows for the randomization of Ohmicide's settings via an XY pad
Preset Morph is a way of altering the settings of Ohmicide over time using an envelope
Preset Morph is a modulation matrix where various modulators may be assigned to parameter values
25
