- The string player is playing a short articulation that ends with the bow stopped on the string.
- The bow's horsehair is bowed with another bow to create an effect
- The bow is flipped upside down and played with the wood
- The bow is placed on the string and rubs along the vertical of the fingerboard
2

How do the timpani libraries make rolls easier?

- The rolls' speed is dedicated to the Mod Wheel
- The left hand and right hand strike of the same pitch are placed an octave apart
3

What category is the Harp under?

- The Harp is a Hollywood Solo Instrument
4

What is the difference between a slur and portamento?
- A slur is used to tie a legato instrument's passage together, and portamento is used to smoothly transition pitch
- A slur is sloppier and has indeterminate time when moving from note to note
- A slur is slower than portamento
- A slur has a shorter duration between the first and second pitch, giving it a different curve than the linear portamento
5

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 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
- Microtuning is a way of manipulating the formant shift of an instrument
6

What does ‘DXF' stand for?
- Dynamic Cross Fade
- Double Cross Frequency
- Dynamic Cross Frequency
- Dipole Cross Fade
7

What does ADT stand for?
- Automatic Double Tonguing

8

What is a special way that the Play engine can speed up load times?
- Play uses data compression to play instruments before they are loaded
- Play can load sounds into RAM from a virtual cloud
- Play uses CAF files to store Lossless encoded files for playback in real-time
- You can have multiple Play engines loading sounds concurrently
9

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 can only be used with libraries that are programmed to take advantage of the sims.
- The script sim is used to get more dynamic layers out of an instrument where they previously did not exist.
10

How are MIDI performances used with the SD2 library?
- 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
- MIDI files may be dragged into the sequencer in the Player and separate channels can be played back on separate instruments in SD2
- 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
- MIDI files may be played within SD2, but the note data only determine a timing and tuning guide for the performance loops in SD2
11

What is an example of an effect articulation for the woodwinds?
- Bop bop a lu bop bop bam boom
- Doit, shake, minchamba, and bubble mute
- Trill, cluster, Run, flutter tongue
- Shake, doit, smear, and ‘san cuerpo', or ‘without body' (Ligature only)
12

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, 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
- In SD3 actual recorded performances are time-stretched to match the tempo of the DAW instead of using MIDI files
13

What is David's favorite instrument from the Gypsy library?
- Bandeon
- Flamenco Dancer
- Trombone
- Cimbalom
14

What controller should you always try with East West libraries?
- ModWheel
- Aftertouch
- CC70
- Macro
15

What is Bisbigliando?
- It's an effect that is achieved by lightly tapping the instrument with a soft mallet
- It is a special method of tremolo that is created by a rapid rubbing of the fingers on the strings of a harp
- It is an effect created by wind blowing over the strings
- It is an articulation that is made by the bending of harmonics created on the string
16

In Stormdrum 3, what is the difference between Tune ‘A' and ‘B'?
- 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 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' is simple tuning that also speeds up or slows down the sample. Tuning ‘B' is using time stretching to adjust tuning while retaining timing
17

What 3 countries provide Silk with its sounds?
- Italy, Germany and France
- China, India, and the Persian Empire
- Latin America, Cuba, Iceland, and Italy
- Italy, Russia, and Egypt
18

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
19

In Hollywood Strings, what does NV NV VB MV mean?
- Using the Mod Wheel from 0-127 passes through 4 dynamic changes: 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
- 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
20

Which controllers does the EWHS like to see the most?
- Mod Wheel, CC11, CC7, and velocity
- CC13, Aftertouch, pitch bend, and CC70
- CC20, CC21, CC70, CC71
- CC3, CC4, CC5, CC6
21

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
- George Martin
- Nile Rogers
22

In Stormdrum 2, what is the purpose of the ‘Zendrum' settings?
- Zendrum is a drum from the Remo company that makes several different kinds of sounds depending on the tension of the drum head
- 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
23

What is a way to free up track areas in your main window?
- Have all articulations summed to a single bus in your mixer
- Have a Play instance on the master bus and route all MIDI there
- 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
- Use keyswitch instruments instead of having multiple tracks per articulation
24

What is ‘double-tonguing'?
- It is a way of stopping a brass instrument with the tongue to create a muted sound
- It's a technique of creating a false harmonic from the horn using the soft palate of the mouth
- 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
25

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 just the system file. It's the engine that the EWHS is running on
- 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 an algorithm that uses advanced core threading to get more efficiency for the CPU
