Chord files, which may be saved and
imported
to the
Transposer,
consist of data for any or all of the four
graphically
represented
transposition
types along with any
mid-bar
changes.
Chord files may
be up to 128 bars in length.
maxWerk can make
Standard
midifiles
(SMF's)
for
import
to
other
sequencers.
Its
internal
recorder
temporarily
imposes a
recording
Tempo
of
either
60 or 120 BPM (a Global Setup
parameter)
and
disables the
Tempo
Map. maxWerk applies this
Tempo
constraint
during
recording
only, so that the
resulting
file can receive the most
accurate
possible event
time-stamps
on
transfer
to a
full-featured
sequencing
environment.
The
spacebar
press that stops play also
stops
recording.
As an
alternative
to
manual
stopping,
if you are
recording
a fully
automated
Werk Perf
ormance,
you can specify in
the
Automute
window an
automatic
end
bar
number
to be the last
bar played. Without
either
setting, maxWerk stops
recording
by itself
after
128 bars. When
recording
finishes,
Tempo
reverts
to the initial
value
stored
with your Werk, and maxWerk
offers
to save the
midifile. After you
import
a maxWerk midifile to a linear
sequencing
application,
adjust playback
tempo
and map
tempos
to your liking in
that
environment.
