relative to data
present
in any
other
track. Keep in mind that
processing
always begins
from
the
"go-to"
bar.
Automute
has a global
end
bar
setting
, a
refinement
to which is
found
for each track in the lower panel of the Note Editor.
There
you'll find a
16ths
sustain
on mute menu setting for each loop that
determines
the
number
of
sixteenth-note
durations
the last step
plays
before
automuting
cuts notes off.
These
delayed
note-offs
do
not follow the
transpositions
of
succeeding
bars. This
feature
is
designed
to allow
creative
overlapping
of sounds as tracks enter
and leave your mix, and, like end bars, the
function
applies only
when
Automute
is
enabled.
Another function
related
to
Automute
and accessible only
from
the
Automute
window can lend
interest
to your mix. The
Autofade
button
brings up a single bar graph display at a time that
represents
all bars of the last edited Basic or Drum Loop track. A track-
switching
menu in
Autofade
does the obvious.
These
switchable
track strips store an Expression
Controller
11 value with a
range
of
0
through
127 at each bar, giving you a way to bring tracks in and
out of your Werk in a subtle
manner
over any
number
of bars.
Autofade
is always active along with
Automute,
and you can
creatively layer the two
functions.
Be aware that when Autofade
levels are down, you may not be able to
hear
anything,
but notes
enabled
by
Automute
still
consume
the available MIDI notes
(polyphony)
of the
targeted
sound-generating
device.
1.6 Basic Loops
Let's go back to the Main Screen to begin making some looping
tracks. A click on the
number
ed panel
button
for any one of them
opens the Note Editor window (as does a key
command),
and the
loop you are editing is
temporarily
solo'ed,
as shown by the
enable
indicator
LED/button
at the
bottom
of the Note Editor. Even if
Automute
is
enabled
and this track is
currently
muted,
maxWerk
suspends
muting
(enables
the
track)
while the Note Editor is open.
The first items at the top of the window, the
steps
number menu
and
loop
length
menu, set the event
resolution
for this loop and
