ber of dynamic and vibrato layers. Refer to the instrument descriptions to learn exactly
how many layers are contained in a particular instrument.
Other Discontinued Abbreviations
Abbreviations like Ni (Niente) have been removed from instrument naming, because
all instruments now use CC 11 (Expression) to fade to silence as a standard across the
entire library.
Likewise, the KSFP (Keyswitch Finger Position) abbreviation is no longer necessary,
since instruments no longer use Keyswitches (KS) to switch between the 4 Finger Posi-
tions. Instead, the Performance section of the Player Window populates with Finger Po-
sition selectors only when an instrument is loaded (and selected) that contains it. Also,
MIDI CC 70 can still be used to switch Finger Positions.
3.2.4 Tips When Using the Instrument Database
The Database mode of the Browse page is very useful to search for instruments based
on specific criteria. By selecting attributes across a variety of categories, you can narrow
down the instruments that appear in the Results List (far-right column).
Switching Categories
The column headers at the top of each category can be used to switch categories. When
building templates you may want to find all the short marcatos in
Hollywood Orchestral Woodwinds.
Click in the category header of Category (far-left column) and select
Library, which lists all the libraries in EastWest’s catalog. In the
list, select EW Hollywood Orchestral Woodwinds. Next, swap in the
Articulations category by clicking in one of the middle column’s
category headers and selecting it. Then, click on the desired articulation type from the
list. You can quickly narrow down whatever your template calls for based on a variety of
attribute categories (style, timbre, articulations, and more).
