Melody Phrases to
capture
incoming
MIDI notes. You can
enter
step
values
from
your
controller
or the
computer's
QWERTY keys, so
long as you are
careful
to
release
each note
before
playing the next
and
remember
to
repeat-enter
notes in
order
to
extend
durations.
Keyboard
step entry for Melody Phrases uses a step
resolution
that
is fixed for that track
according
to the
meter.
Played note values
appear
in the Melody display only if they fall within the available two-
octave
range.
To allow
keyboard
step-entry
of notes to Basic Loops and Phrases,
maxWerk
necessarily
activates
keyboard
mapping
to the
current
Scale, and a
number
of other play settings
revert
to their
defaults.
When you switch off the
function,
maxWerk
restores
the status of
keyboard
mapping
to that displayed on the Main Screen. When you
use your
computer
keyboard
to
enter
notes to the Basic and Drum
Loops,
maxWerk
genera
tes
random
accompanying
velocity values.
As each set of step
information
appears
in the displays, the
progress
bar
advances
to the next step. While the
function
is active,
incoming
values
overdub
existing ones with each pass
through
the
available steps. To
enter
a rest, press the 0
[zero]
number
key. You
can
overwrite
the
last-entered
step of both Basic Loops and
Phrases by
pressing
any MIDI key below the split point and
entering
another
value.
Toggle
the
function
button
or its
command
key (by a
double
press) to
enter
notes again
from
the
beginning
of the loop.
When you are making Drum
Loops,
keyboard
step entry
temporarily
disables MIDI
keyboard mapping,
so that you can play any notes
that are
assigned
to or offset
from
the
range
of MIDI note
numbers
35 (B1)
through
68
(G#4)
on your
controller
keyboard.
To place
Drum notes into steps with
imaginative
help
from
maxWerk,
use the
drum
pattern
generator
, which
enters
and
removes
sets of beats
independently
for each
drum
kit
instrument.
The
keyboard
step entry
button
flashes yellow as a status
reminder
if you leave it
enabled
while your Werk is in play, and maxWerk
automatically
disables the
function
when you exit Editor windows.
