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
2

What is ‘microtuning'?
- Microtuning is a way of setting Play to several different concert pitches like 432 Hz and 415 Hz
- 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 to change the entire instrument's pitch by a matter of cents to get it in tune with an out of tune arrangement
3

Which controllers does the EWHS like to see the most?
- CC3, CC4, CC5, CC6
- CC20, CC21, CC70, CC71
- CC13, Aftertouch, pitch bend, and CC70
- Mod Wheel, CC11, CC7, and velocity
4

What does ‘EXP' mean in a Hollywood Woodwinds library patch?
- Mod Wheel should add dynamics as well as vibrato
- Expression is added to the instrument with CC10
- The instrument was recorded in an expressive way with vintage microphones
- Aftertouch is used to get more vibrato out of the instrument
5

In Hollywood Strings, what does NV NV VB MV mean?
- It means there is a different dynamic per channel: No Vibrato, Vibrato, and Molto Vibrato
- It means that the instrument can have No Vibrato, Vibrato, and Molto Vibrato played via velocity
- 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
6

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
7

What was the name of the producer that Doug Rogers and Nick Phoenix teamed up with on the Hollywood Strings library?
- Phil Spector
- Thomas Bergersen
- Nile Rogers
- George Martin
8

What is a way to free up track areas in your main window?
- Have a Play instance on the master bus and route all MIDI there
- Use keyswitch instruments instead of having multiple tracks per articulation
- Have all articulations summed to a single bus in your mixer
- 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
9

What is another name for ‘Tam Tam"?
- Thundersheet
- Timpani
- Gong
- Crash cymbal
10

What controller should you always try with East West libraries?
- Aftertouch
- ModWheel
- Macro
- CC70
11

What is the difference between a slur and portamento?
- A slur is sloppier and has indeterminate time when moving from note to note
- A slur is slower than portamento
- A slur is used to tie a legato instrument's passage together, and portamento is used to smoothly transition pitch
- A slur has a shorter duration between the first and second pitch, giving it a different curve than the linear portamento
12

Why would you create a separate lane for key switches?
- To use the keys with data to create new melodies
- To convert the keyswitches to other kinds of MIDI data
- To help use those keyswitches for other sections and instruments
- To make exporting MIDI files without the keyswitch notes for a scoring program easier.
13

How would you route the audio from EWHS out of the Play engine to separate tracks of your DAW?
- Audio is routed out from the microphone placement mixer
- Audio is routed from the Play mixer
- Audio is routed from the advanced instrument preferences
- Audio is routed per articulation in the player
14

What is WordBuilder?
- Wordbuilder uses spectral synthesis to playback speech patterns.
- 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 is a synthesizer built on formant synthesis.
15

Why does the Powerful System have its own folder?
- The powerful system is an algorithm that uses advanced core threading to get more efficiency for the CPU
- The powerful system is very CPU heavy and requires more overall system resources than any other articulation in the library
- 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
16

Why would you use a script sim?
- 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.
- 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.
17

What are the main singers of Symphonic Choir?
- Sopranos, Altos, Tenors, Basses, and Boys Choir
- Bulgarian, Indian, Chinese, American
