- Zing, bop, bam, diggity
2

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
3

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
- 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
4

How are MIDI performances used with the SD2 library?
- 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 played within SD2, but the note data only determine a timing and tuning guide for the performance loops 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
5

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 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 very CPU heavy and requires more overall system resources than any other articulation in the library
6

What is an example of an effect articulation for the woodwinds?
- Shake, doit, smear, and ‘san cuerpo', or ‘without body' (Ligature only)
- Bop bop a lu bop bop bam boom
- Doit, shake, minchamba, and bubble mute
- Trill, cluster, Run, flutter tongue
7

What is the difference between MIDI multis of SD2 and the performances of SD3?
- 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
- In SD3, the MIDI files are located in the ‘MIDI performances' folder and can be quantized in different ways
8

What is a waterphone?
- A waterphone is an instrument that has a metal water jug with spikes coming off of it. It is played by bowing or striking the spikes
- The waterphone is a cylindrical instrument that has a ports membrane at the top that you pour water through to get interesting, ghostly tones
- The waterphone is an underwater microphone that was used to capture how transients travel underwater
- A waterphone is an instrument that is a blend of an alpine horn and a trombone that is meant to be played into a small vessel of water
9

In Stormdrum 3, how do you turn on the SSL channel strip?
- In the Mixer, simply route any articulations and instruments through the master bus, and then in the Player window assign the SSL modules individually based on the bussing system
- In the browser, choose the ‘FX' folder and load a preset there. The SSL section will pop up in the Player shortly after
- In the player, choose the ‘FX' power button and route whatever articulations you like there
- Turn on the ‘FX" button on the Play mixer, then turn the power button on for the input of the channel strip. There are power buttons for the transient designer, the reverb, and the compressor as well
10

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
11

What does ‘Legato MOD' do exactly?
- The Mod Wheel is used for volume
- 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 to switch the instrument between legato and spiccato articulations
12

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

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 can load sounds into RAM from a virtual cloud
- Play uses data compression to play instruments before they are loaded
- You can have multiple Play engines loading sounds concurrently
14

What is David's favorite instrument from the Gypsy library?
- Cimbalom
- Bandeon
- Flamenco Dancer
- Trombone
15

What was the name of the producer that Doug Rogers and Nick Phoenix teamed up with on the Hollywood Strings library?
- Thomas Bergersen
- Nile Rogers
- Phil Spector
- George Martin
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 library folders are common to each instrument in EWQLSO?
- Long, Short, fast, slow, and grouped
- Long, Short, Effects, ModXfd, Keyswitch
- Heavy, Light, Big, Economy, and Layered
- Long, Short, Loud, Soft, and grouped
18

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 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
19

What does ‘SUS 6' mean in a string ensemble?
- It means there are 6 stages to the SUS instrument to pass through via the volume envelope
- It means there are 6 articulations loaded
- There are 6 voices playing at the same time for the attack of the sound
- It means there is a chord being played with a suspended chord with a 6 in it
20

Who was the engineer on EWQLSO?
- Richard Chycki
- George Martin
- Keith O. Johnson
- Phil Spector
21

How would you route the audio from EWHS out of the Play engine to separate tracks of your DAW?
- Audio is routed per articulation in the player
- Audio is routed out from the microphone placement mixer
- Audio is routed from the Play mixer
- Audio is routed from the advanced instrument preferences
22

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 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 setting Play to several different concert pitches like 432 Hz and 415 Hz
23

What external controls work with the EWQLSC library?
- CC70, CC71, Aftertouch, and CC27
- Bank MSB changes, LSB changes, CC20 and aftertouch
- CC25, CC26, aftertouch, and CC90
- Mod Wheel, CC11, CC7, and velocity as well as CC20 for restarting a phrase
24

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.
- 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.
25

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 based on just intonation, and Tuning ‘B' is based on Indonesian tunings
- 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
