What is the difference between MIDI multis of SD2 and the performances of SD3?
In SD3, the MIDI files are located in the ‘MIDI performances' folder and can be quantized in different ways
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, 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
What kind of palette is the Dark Side working with?
The Dark Side is a collection of vocal samples taken from mental institutions
The Dark Side is an industrial library made up primarily of recordings of welding shops and metal work

6
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 settings are used to remap the entire Play library to be used with the APC40 controller from Akai
The Zendrum is a MIDI controller. These instruments map in an intuitive way for zendrum users
Zendrum is a drum from the Remo company that makes several different kinds of sounds depending on the tension of the drum head
7
What does ‘On Bow' mean?
The bow is flipped upside down and played with the wood
The bow's horsehair is bowed with another bow to create an effect

The string player is playing a short articulation that ends with the bow stopped on the string.
8
What does ‘Legato MOD' do exactly?
The Mod wheel is used to switch the instrument between legato and spiccato articulations
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 to create a volume crossfade between samples
The Mod Wheel is used for volume
9
What is the difference between ‘Master', and ‘Elements' libraries?
Master' has all of the articulations mapped to a keycap, ‘Elements' loads the articulations, but does not activate them
Master' controls all of the articulations of Play as a whole, allowing for the changing of parameters easily across multiple instrument types
‘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
10
What is WordBuilder?
Wordbuilder is a synthesizer built on formant synthesis.
WordBuilder allows the composer to create phrases for the symphonic choir to sing.
Wordbuilder uses a combination of physical modeling and granular synthesis to generate speech.
Wordbuilder uses spectral synthesis to playback speech patterns.
11
What controller should you always try with East West libraries?
ModWheel
Macro
Aftertouch
CC70
12
What category is the Harp under?
The Hollywood Harp is actually in the EWQLSO
The Harp is a Hollywood Solo Instrument
The Hollywood Harp is in the vintage items libraries
The Hollywood harp is in the ‘odds and ends' library
13
What is ‘double-tonguing'?
It is a way of stopping a brass instrument with the tongue to create a muted sound
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 an in-joke among brass players
It's a technique of creating a false harmonic from the horn using the soft palate of the mouth
14
What purpose do the Goliath instruments primarily serve?
Goliath is a gargantuan drum library that is primarily used to create massive cinematic drum patterns
Goliath is a great way for new users to have a wide, general palette of East West sounds for all genres
Goliath is a multi-sampled very large piano that uses a combination of physical modeling and spectral synthesis to create tones far outside the range of a normal piano and is used for very unique sound design purposes
Goliath is a gigantic library of drum kits that were recorded in very unique spaces around the globe, from decommissioned nuclear reactors to old churches. It is a very unique drum library
15
How are MIDI performances used with the SD2 library?
MIDI files may be played within SD2, but the note data only determine a timing and tuning guide for the performance loops in SD2
MIDI files may be dragged into the sequencer in the Player and separate channels can be played back on separate instruments in SD2
MIDI files may be downloaded to the player, and they are retuned and retimed to match the performance of the SD2 sound library's live performance patches
Multi-channel MIDI files play within a DAW to control Multi-channel Play instruments. They are multiple SD2 instruments that are on different channels, to create a great thunderous performance loop
16
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
17
What is portamento?
An articulation with a short attack followed by a crescendo
It means ‘to play very softly'
A setting that allows a note to slide from its current pitch to the pitch of the next note played
A brass articulation that has a long volume fade
18
What are the 3 languages of WordBuilder?
German, Italian, and Russian
Russian, Latin, and Greek
Russian, Latin, and German
English, Phonetics, and votox
19
How do accents work in the Hollywood Strings library?
Accents are a volume spike that is applied at the front end of samples
Accents are used in the performance script section to add influence to the beginning of a given sound
There is a staccato or marcato articulation that plays layered at the beginning of the sustained or legato string articulation
Accents get their own articulation and instrument
20
What is ‘microtuning'?
Microtuning is a way of manipulating the formant shift of an instrument
Microtuning is a way of emulating the tuning tables of other cultures by altering the scale to include deviant tunings that are off by a couple cents here and there, as well as leaving out notes altogether for pentatonic scales
Microtuning is a way of setting Play to several different concert pitches like 432 Hz and 415 Hz
Microtuning is a way to change the entire instrument's pitch by a matter of cents to get it in tune with an out of tune arrangement
21
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.
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 can only be used with libraries that are programmed to take advantage of the sims.
22
In Hollywood Strings, what does NV NV VB MV mean?
It means that the instrument can have No Vibrato, Vibrato, and Molto Vibrato played via velocity
It means there is a different dynamic per channel: No Vibrato, Vibrato, and Molto Vibrato
It means that the articulations for No Vibrato, Vibrato, and Molto Vibrato are loaded and ready to play with CC11
Using the Mod Wheel from 0-127 passes through 4 dynamic changes: No Vibrato, Vibrato, and Molto Vibrato
23
What is a special way that the Play engine can speed up load times?
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
Play can load sounds into RAM from a virtual cloud
You can have multiple Play engines loading sounds concurrently
24
What is the advantage of using the FX version of the Dark Side instruments?
The effect version of the instrument is usually lower in memory usage
When switching between the FX processed and unprocessed instruments, the samples are common amongst the instruments, so the load time is very fast
Switching back and forth can create an interesting zippering effect, and that can be bounced to disk for effect
The FX versions of the instruments are used to create interesting cinematic sound design for film
25
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
