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
- 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
- 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
12

What does ‘H' and ‘W' mean in the woodwind trills?
- Half-cent and Whole-cent
- High and Wide
- Half-tone and Whole-Tone
- Hurried and Wait
13

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 for volume
- The Mod Wheel is used to create a volume crossfade between samples
14

How do the timpani libraries make rolls easier?
- The rolls are time-stretched to match the session tempo
- The roll can be saved as a MIDI file to be used in a DAW
- The left hand and right hand strike of the same pitch are placed an octave apart
- The rolls' speed is dedicated to the Mod Wheel
15

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 convert the keyswitches to other kinds of MIDI data
- To use the keys with data to create new melodies
16

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
- You can have multiple Play engines loading sounds concurrently
- Play uses CAF files to store Lossless encoded files for playback in real-time
- Play can load sounds into RAM from a virtual cloud
17

What is a waterphone?
- The waterphone is an underwater microphone that was used to capture how transients travel underwater
- The waterphone is a cylindrical instrument that has a ports membrane at the top that you pour water through to get interesting, ghostly tones
- 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
- 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
18

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 per articulation in the player
- Audio is routed from the Play mixer
- Audio is routed from the advanced instrument preferences
19

In Stormdrum 2, what is the purpose of the ‘Zendrum' settings?
- 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
- 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
20

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

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 is used to get more dynamic layers out of an instrument where they previously did not exist.
- 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.
22

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
23

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 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
24

In Stormdrum 3, how do you turn on the SSL channel strip?
- In the player, choose the ‘FX' power button and route whatever articulations you like there
- 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 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
- 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
25

How do accents work in the Hollywood Strings library?
- Accents get their own articulation and instrument
- 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 are a volume spike that is applied at the front end of samples
