where you can
enable
or mute all 128 bars of the track at once from
any point in the Werk,
depending
on the status of the window's
control
button.
Double-clicking
the track label brings up a
pattern-
entry
dialog
, where you can
enter
a binary
pattern
of ones and
zeroes
that will apply
starting
with the last set
"go-to"
bar.
At each bar where a track is
muted,
maxWerk also resets the loop it
plays to its
beginning
state.
For
example,
if you play a
three-bar
pattern
muted
after
two bars and
enabled
several bars later, the
pattern
restarts
at the head of the loop on being
enabled
without
having played its third bar. With multiple
patterns
in play, it may spoil
your intent if you mute and
enable
at the wrong places; so a helpful
dynamically
updating
feature
of
Automute
is
provided
as follows:
Say for
example
that track 1 does its looping job over four bars. It
has a
two-bar
graphic
editor
pattern,
but on
alternate
repetitions
a
function
is
triggered
that
produces
changed
note values, so that four
bars of listening are
required
to
appreciate
the effect. maxWerk
automatically
displays the
number
of bars in one pitch cycle by way
of the small number tag located to the right of the track label. The
gradual
'mutate'
function
is an
exception
not
reflected
this way.
Noting the
reminder
in this case, you might
enter
a
pattern
such as
001111
into the dialog
presented.
This
appears
in the track strip as
a
repeating
sequence
starting
from
the
"go-to"
bar all the way to the
last. This
particular
pattern
causes two bars of silence followed by a
full
function
cycle. After it plays you'll
hear
two
more
silent bars, and
then the play
pattern
of ones
repeats.
On its own in the
upper
left window
corner
is a setting to
loop
the
song
in its
entirety,
and across the top of the
Automute
window
under
the bar
locators
is a set of editing
buttons. Enable
improv
settings
automatically
bring in and silences one
interlude
from
maxWerk's
bonus strolling musician.
Another
setting specifies the
end
bar of your Werk and optionally applies it to all the loops.
You can move mutes, shifting them by several bars in either
direction.
You can
randomize
mutes or copy and invert mutes
