What is the difference between MIDI multis of SD2 and the performances of SD3?
- In SD3 actual recorded performances are time-stretched to match the tempo of the DAW instead of using MIDI files
- In SD3, MIDI performances are not played within the player. They must be accused through the DAW and reassigned to channels there
- In SD3, the MIDI files are located in the ‘MIDI performances' folder and can be quantized in different ways
- In SD3, MIDI performances are not used. Instead, there is a new control system that is used to create tuning and timing patterns that are based on algorithms to emulate the performances of Mickey Hart
5

In Stormdrum 3, what is the difference between Tune ‘A' and ‘B'?
- Tuning ‘A' is simple tuning that also speeds up or slows down the sample. Tuning ‘B' is using time stretching to adjust tuning while retaining timing
- Tuning ‘A' is microtuning, and Tuning ‘B' is traditional western tuning
- Tuning ‘A' and ‘B are separate presets tat you can toggle between to figure out what kind of tuning you would like
- Tuning ‘A' is based on just intonation, and Tuning ‘B' is based on Indonesian tunings

- Bank MSB changes, LSB changes, CC20 and aftertouch
- CC25, CC26, aftertouch, and CC90
10

What is an example of an effect articulation for the woodwinds?

11

What does ADT stand for?
- Assisted Divisi Template
- Automatic Double Tracking
- Automatic dual tone
- Automatic Double Tonguing
12

What is the difference between ‘Master', and ‘Elements' libraries?
- Master' controls all of the articulations of Play as a whole, allowing for the changing of parameters easily across multiple instrument types
- Master' has all of the articulations mapped to a keycap, ‘Elements' loads the articulations, but does not activate them
- ‘Master' uses the master output of the Play mixer. 'Elements' has automatic assignment to individual outputs
- ‘Master' is all of the articulations switched by velocity. "Elements' are the beginning, middle, and end of the samples, chosen with CC2
13

What does ‘EXP' mean in a Hollywood Woodwinds library patch?
- Aftertouch is used to get more vibrato out of the instrument
- The instrument was recorded in an expressive way with vintage microphones
- Mod Wheel should add dynamics as well as vibrato
- Expression is added to the instrument with CC10
14

What is Bisbigliando?
- It is an effect created by wind blowing over the strings
- It's an effect that is achieved by lightly tapping the instrument with a soft mallet
- It is an articulation that is made by the bending of harmonics created on the string
- It is a special method of tremolo that is created by a rapid rubbing of the fingers on the strings of a harp
15

What does ‘Legato MOD' do exactly?
- The Mod Wheel is used to create a volume crossfade between samples
- When the Mod Wheel is used during a melodic passage, a slur is used to connect the first note to the next note
- The Mod Wheel is used for volume
- The Mod wheel is used to switch the instrument between legato and spiccato articulations
16

Why would you use a script sim?
- The script sim is used to get more dynamic layers out of an instrument where they previously did not exist.
- The script sim is used to keep track of the articulation setting and can be used as a controller map as well.
- The script sim can only be used with libraries that are programmed to take advantage of the sims.
- If you are using an instrument that does not have a script built in, like Round Robin samples, these scripts provide a facsimile by using different tuning, timing, and sample selection techniques.
