1

Why does the Powerful System have its own folder?
- The powerful system is very CPU heavy and requires more overall system resources than any other articulation in the library
- The powerful system is an algorithm that uses advanced core threading to get more efficiency for the CPU
- The powerful system is a series of instruments that are designed specifically for overblown movie productions - like a Michael Bay movie
- The powerful system is just the system file. It's the engine that the EWHS is running on
2

What is ‘double-tonguing'?
- A way that brass players can articulate very fast passages by using both the tongue at the teeth, and the roof of the mouth
- It's a technique of creating a false harmonic from the horn using the soft palate of the mouth
- It's an in-joke among brass players
- It is a way of stopping a brass instrument with the tongue to create a muted sound
3

What is the difference between ‘Master', and ‘Elements' libraries?
- ‘Master' is all of the articulations switched by velocity. "Elements' are the beginning, middle, and end of the samples, chosen with CC2
- 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' controls all of the articulations of Play as a whole, allowing for the changing of parameters easily across multiple instrument types
4

In Stormdrum 2, what is the purpose of the ‘Zendrum' settings?
- The Zendrum settings adhere to the tuning and timing methods of ancient Tibetan traditions.
- The Zendrum is a MIDI controller. These instruments map in an intuitive way for zendrum users
- The Zendrum settings are used to remap the entire Play library to be used with the APC40 controller from Akai
- Zendrum is a drum from the Remo company that makes several different kinds of sounds depending on the tension of the drum head
5

6

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

- Doit, shake, minchamba, and bubble mute
7

In Stormdrum 3, what is the difference between Tune ‘A' and ‘B'?
- Tuning ‘A' is microtuning, and Tuning ‘B' is traditional western tuning
- Tuning ‘A' is based on just intonation, and Tuning ‘B' is based on Indonesian tunings
- 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 simple tuning that also speeds up or slows down the sample. Tuning ‘B' is using time stretching to adjust tuning while retaining timing
8

What does ‘EXP' mean in a Hollywood Woodwinds library patch?
- Aftertouch is used to get more vibrato out of the instrument
- Expression is added to the instrument with CC10
- The instrument was recorded in an expressive way with vintage microphones
- Mod Wheel should add dynamics as well as vibrato
9

How do the timpani libraries make rolls easier?
- The rolls' speed is dedicated to the Mod Wheel
- The rolls are time-stretched to match the session tempo
- The left hand and right hand strike of the same pitch are placed an octave apart
- The roll can be saved as a MIDI file to be used in a DAW
10

What library folders are common to each instrument in EWQLSO?
- Long, Short, fast, slow, and grouped

11

What is WordBuilder?
- WordBuilder allows the composer to create phrases for the symphonic choir to sing.
- Wordbuilder is a synthesizer built on formant synthesis.
- Wordbuilder uses a combination of physical modeling and granular synthesis to generate speech.
- Wordbuilder uses spectral synthesis to playback speech patterns.
12

What are the different mic positions in the EWQLSO?
- Mid, close, and far
- Top, Bottom, and room
- Close, Stage, and Surround
- Mid, Side, and ambient
13

Why would you create a separate lane for key switches?
- To convert the keyswitches to other kinds of MIDI data
- To help use those keyswitches for other sections and instruments
- To use the keys with data to create new melodies
- To make exporting MIDI files without the keyswitch notes for a scoring program easier.
14

What is a way to free up track areas in your main window?
- Have all articulations summed to a single bus in your mixer
- Use keyswitch instruments instead of having multiple tracks per articulation
- Have Play instruments at the top tracks in your DAW to determine where RAM priorities are allocated and use all dynamic articulation control with CC2 instead of CC1
- Have a Play instance on the master bus and route all MIDI there
15

What does ADT stand for?
- Assisted Divisi Template
- Automatic Double Tracking
- Automatic Double Tonguing
- Automatic dual tone
16

What controller should you always try with East West libraries?

- High and Wide
- Half-cent and Whole-cent
- Hurried and Wait
- Half-tone and Whole-Tone
21

Why would you use a script sim?
- The script sim is used to keep track of the articulation setting and can be used as a controller map as well.
- 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.
- The script sim is used to get more dynamic layers out of an instrument where they previously did not exist.
- The script sim can only be used with libraries that are programmed to take advantage of the sims.
22

What is a special way that the Play engine can speed up load times?
- Play can load sounds into RAM from a virtual cloud
- Play uses CAF files to store Lossless encoded files for playback in real-time
- Play uses data compression to play instruments before they are loaded
