You can use
external
hardware
or
software
as a MIDI clock source
or
destination.
Your finished Werk plays in a
locked-tempo
mode
as
it
records
its
output
to a
standard
midifile for
export
to a
full-featured
sequencer.
Support
for an
optional
Peavey PC-1600 or PC-1600x
MIDI
controller
unit is included.
What maxWerk Doesn't Do
maxWerk contains no music at all when you begin a new Werk,
except for
arpeggiated
chords
that help you
audition
progressions
. It
is not an
auto-accompaniment
program
with
canned
patterns!
Its
huge
array
of possibilities begins with choices
made
by you.
maxWerk is not a n
otation
program
either,
but it saves all the types
of
information
about
your
composition
listed
above,
and it
creates
a
reference
text you can save and print that shows, by bar,
everything
you need to know
about
the
structure
of your
composition.
Although
you may use fewer than seven scale pitches (as in the Pentatonic
scale, for
example),
maxWerk does not
support
scales that have
more.
However, it does let you store a custom scale for each Werk.
maxWerk does not directly
produce
audio files. Because it deals
with MIDI data, a world of possibilities
remains
for
developing
the
music you begin
here.
maxWerk is not a
full-featured
sequence
production
environment,
but it can be a
partner
to your
favorite
one.
