you want by indicating a step value
(note)
using the vertical slider to
the right of the display. As you move it up and down, you'll
hear
a hit
on each kit sound at the
corresponding
display position. The
arrow-
shaped
test
buttons
move the slider up or down one step with
each press. Drum hits sound
repeatedly
in
eighth-no
te time as long
as a test
button
is held down. Press the
add
button
to
trigger
the
generator
to
enter
beats at the
slider-selected
note. The
undo
button
works by
remembering
the last note value placed by the
generator.
It lets you
remove
all
generator-plac
ed hits at that display
value, so long as you have not
manually
added
a hit at any
other
value
before
you use it. To
remove
all hits of a
certain
drum
sound
at a later time, set the slider at their note value level, press the add
button
to
re-target
the display value, and then use the undo
button
to
remove
all instances of that value.
Drum Editor
controls
for
normal
play or for loop start point
variation
are the same as those in the Note Editor. Along with the
solo
button
there
is a drums 1&2
button
to solo both Drum tracks
together,
and one to
hear
them as
automuted
. To the lower right of
the displays is
another
to
switch
drum parts directly to edit the
other
Drum
Loop,
bypassing
the Main Screen access panel.
Track
names
are not given to Drum
Loops;
they simply have the
designations
"drum1"
and
"drum2".
2.11 Control Tricks
The MIDI
controller
number in the Controls A and B windows' right
side section makes available the full
range
(1
through
120)
for
selection. If you are Werking in a GS
mode
track, select
controllers
instead
from
the GS
Control
menu in the lower section. The GS
scheme
for
real-time
sound
shaping
uses
non-registered
parameter
number
sets (NRPN's)
rather
than
conventional
controller
numbers;
hence
maxWerk's
separation
of
controller
assignments by type. The
GS
base
number-box
next to the GS Control
menu
shows you the
default
value to which maxWerk
reverts
when you stop play and
when the
controller
is
reassigned
or
disabled.
You can
enter
control
number
assignments
for both
normal
MIDI and GS
modes,
and
