1
If connection time between a VEPro plugin and an Instance seems slow, what course of action can you try to speed things up?
Replace the existing cable because it might be going bad.
Change the IP addresses in both computers.
This problem is best solved by a qualified studio tech.
Try using a crossover cable.
2
Is there an advantage to configuring a multi-timbral setup with several keyswitching patches for the same instrument?
Yes, because you can use the same keyswitches for each of the patches.
No, because the individual sounds have to be engineered across several Aux channels, which is unwieldy.
No, because it creates a "mosaic" of the part that is difficult to create a printed score from.
Yes, because the entire pool of articulations can be used to expand the expressive range beyond that of any one patch.
3
The term "coupled", as used in the tutorial, refers to:
The "Off" state of the Decouple button
The "On" state of the Decouple button
When the ALL button is illuminated
When saving a DAW project file only includes the names of the Instances
4
A Multi-Timbral instrument typically has...
...one instrument receiving on one MIDI channel.
...several instruments receiving on different MIDI channels.
...several instruments receiving on one MIDI channel.
one instrument receiving on several MIDI channel.
5
Why is a Single-timbre approach generally more flexible than a Multi-timbre one?
It saves RAM.
It is easier to set up and work with, with one channel per instrument for mixing and automation.
It saves on the CPU activity.
6
Which of these best describes what a
stem
is?
The low-range instruments of a score or project.
An audio file containing instuments that belong together.
It's another word for
folder
.
7
Sample streaming is used to:
Facilitate the use of slower hard drives.
Allow data on partitioned disks to be accessed more quickly.
Minimize the amount of RAM needed to start sample playback.
Minimize the amount of CPU needed to play back samples.
8
Which of these is
not
true about the slave computer?
It has lots of memory (RAM.)
It runs the DAW.
It's holding all the samples.
It's doing the sample playback.
9
Which computer does the VEpro plugin get installed on?
A remote server
The main computer
The slave computer
10
Partitioned drives give you increased performance over non-partitioned ones. True or False?
True
False
11
A SATA drive (internal) gives you better performance than an external Hard Drive. True or False?
True
False
12
A duplicate track of the same instrument uses twice the RAM because samples are loaded twice. True or False?
False
True
13
When we say that VEPro "preserves loaded samples", what does it mean?
The samples do not need to be loaded again for another project.
VEPro create a backup for the samples.
The connection VEPro instances can't be corrupted.
VEPro keeps the samples in the right format.
14
What is the name of the funny-looking dog used to humorously illustrate the concept of bad-sounding, unusable, or un-useful samples?
Ophicleide
Astral
Askew
Astro
15
Distinctly different sounds contained in a mapped instrument or instrument collection are not considered multi-timbral because:
You can't use velocity to control the volume of each individual note.
"Multi-timbral" in this context refers exclusively to plugins loaded with several sounds that respond on different MIDI channels.
"Multi-timbral" isn't a term that orchestral musicians ever actually use.
16
Though not specifically discussed in the tutorial, what would be a downside of using 1st violin samples in place of 2nd violin samples?
It wouldn't be possible to hear both violin tracks simultaneously.
Twice as much RAM would be used by loading the 1st violin samples twice.
Though the 1st and 2nd violin parts would sound the same, it's a minor compromise when RAM capacity is an issue.
The realistic aspects of a mockup would suffer significantly.
17
What type of cable is used to connect the slave computer to the main computer?
XLR
USB
HDMI
Ethernet
18
Which of these terms does not apply to Vienna Ensemble Pro Instances?
VI-Frame (viframe64)
