- The powerful system is just the system file. It's the engine that the EWHS is running on
- The powerful system is very CPU heavy and requires more overall system resources than any other articulation in the library
5

What does ‘DXF' stand for?
- Dynamic Cross Fade
- Dipole Cross Fade
- Double Cross Frequency
- Dynamic Cross Frequency
6

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

What is the difference between a slur and portamento?
- A slur is slower than portamento
- A slur is sloppier and has indeterminate time when moving from note to note
- 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
9

Why would you create a separate lane for key switches?
- To make exporting MIDI files without the keyswitch notes for a scoring program easier.
- To help use those keyswitches for other sections and instruments
- To use the keys with data to create new melodies
- To convert the keyswitches to other kinds of MIDI data
10

What does ADT stand for?
- Automatic dual tone
- Automatic Double Tonguing
- Assisted Divisi Template
- Automatic Double Tracking
11

What is a special way that the Play engine can speed up load times?
- You can have multiple Play engines loading sounds concurrently
- 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
12

What does ‘On Bow' mean?
- 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
13

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.
14

What does ‘Legato MOD' do exactly?
- 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
- 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
15

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
- Mod Wheel should add dynamics as well as vibrato
- The instrument was recorded in an expressive way with vintage microphones
16

How would you route the audio from EWHS out of the Play engine to separate tracks of your DAW?
- Audio is routed from the advanced instrument preferences
- Audio is routed from the Play mixer
- Audio is routed per articulation in the player
- Audio is routed out from the microphone placement mixer
17

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.
- 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.
