existing file, you will find copies of alternative
template
files in the
"maxWerk
Filing Cabinet"
folder
that can save you having to make
many tedious
associated
editor
window
changes.
Once you are
used to
maxWerk,
you might wish to use these as a basis for
creating
your own
template
files, especially if you find you often use
loops
longer
than one bar. Be sure to
rename
Werk files you wish to
save! It's a good idea to use a
sequential
numbering
scheme
to
save each
update;
for
example,
"TuesdayTune_03".
maxWerk
automatically
appends
the suffix .mWk when you
name
your file.
maxWerk
doesn't
use the
standard
Macintosh
Edit and Windows
menus,
and you should leave "All
Windows
Active" checked for it
to work
properly.
The
MIDI-thru
menu lets you
change
the
target
for your
controller
keyboard
input to any of the
instrument/channels
assigned
to tracks. Note that when the
Auto-thru
checkbox in the
upper
left section of the Main Screen is
enabled,
MIDI thru will follow
each track visited for editing. At the top of the
menu
is a switchable
item THRU-ENABLED, which disables and
enables
keyboard
thru
play. This does not disable MIDI notes
triggered
by the
computer's
QWERTY keys. You can quickly check the state of this
function
by
the
presence
or
absence
of color in the MIDI
indicator
LED. When
external
MIDI input is
enabled,
you will see a
green
background
against which the LED flashes yellow on
incoming
MIDI signals.
When it is
disabled,
the LED
continues
to flash yellow in
response
to
computer
keyboard
play, but the
background
color is gray.
The
Arp-thru
menu lets you
redirect
notes
from
the
chord-
auditioning
Arpeggiator
to any
pitched-note
track
other
than the
default
Noodle.
Learn
about
this
feature
under
"The
Transposer".
The Panic menu includes a
manual
trigger
for
maxWerk's
normal
Stop Play
procedure,
which resets several
internal
functions
and
sends an All
Notes
Off
command
to all MIDI
destinations.
The
second Panic
menu
item
triggers
the
notes-off
message
by itself. As
a last
resort
in case of
intractable
behavior
from
a GS
module,
choose the item GS reset to initialize your device. Built into this
system exclusive
message
is the GS
command
assigning Channel
11 as well as the
default
10 to Drum Kit
instruments.
The Reset
Controllers
message
addresses
all
targets.
