be the
target
for each of
maxWerk's
tracks and your live
“Noodle”
play. maxWerk
creates
a list of available
preset
names
for GS mode
use
according
to the GS
module
model
parameter
setting in this file.
You can find the GS
mode
MIDI
channel
layout of
maxWerk's
tracks
in the "Werk Files" section
near
the end of this Guide.
Checkboxes
let you
transmit

recor
ding to
midifile of
normal
banks/program
changes
as well as GS
patches
and
sound
settings
.
Other
Global Setup
parameters
include MIDI
clock
source
and
clock
enable
for driving
external
devices. You
can make click
settings
for the
metronome,
and
there
are options
to
send
transposer
notes
to an
external
device along with MIDI
beat clock. You can
read
about
QWERTY keys and the
keyboard
map mode settings for MIDI input
from
your
controller
at the start of
Part II of this Guide,
"maxWerk
in Depth".
After you have
prepared
a Global Setup for the
device/channels
desired,
you must
reload
any
already-open
Werk file in
order
for the
MIDI
information
it contains to be
directed
properly
to the newly
defined
setup. A useful trick to know is that the "Back to Werk in
progress"
command
under
the Panic
menubar
heading
lets you
quickly
re-transmit
the
current
Werk's MIDI settings to the
currently
enabled
set of
sound-generating
devices.
maxWerk
launches
with an untitled
(default)
Werk
template
or
opens one of your choice, and then
routes
MIDI thru to the
Noodle
track, which is
dedicated
to your live playing. Open the window for
this track to make basic settings for MIDI input
from
your
controller.
These
include an offset for
incoming
note velocities and an octave
shift
from
center. Other
settings for your live play
directed
through
Noodle allow
optional
automatic
mod wheel or
aftertouch
ramping,
along with
forward
or
reversed
ramps
of GS sound
shaping.
1.2 Menu Items
Whenever
you choose New
from
the File menu, maxWerk loads an
8-count
meter
Werk file of
default
data called
untitled.mWk
, a copy
of which resides in the maxWerk
application
folder.
You should not
change
this locked file. While it's possible to
