maxWerk offers "GS" and "Studio" MIDI modes. In Studio mode, parts may be assigned to any available OMS Studio Setup device. The alternative GS mode is specifically designed to function within the sonic environment of a single tone module from the global-standard Roland Sound Canvas series. The inclusion of GS mode was a conscious design decision from day one, because maxWerk's primary goal is to focus on the development of notes and rhythms, and to encourage the user to put off until a later time the sound-design and production enhancements of a full studio equipment arsenal that may ultimately showcase the composition.

1/3/2010:

Redmoon's maxWerk, a comprehensive MIDI environment for
loop-based composing, is now at version 8.0.5.

Improvements have been made in the Transposer's chord
entry function. maxWerk now has the ability to assign
independent chordal bass notes in the Transposer. Complex
chord progressions are easier to create, other features
have been streamlined, and the Users' Guide is updated.

A saved setting has been added to optionally gate all
MIDI OUT during realtime recording of midifiles for export.

An undocumented Array View item in the Extras menu displays
Transposer, Noodle or Melody track notes in Array System
(Circle of Fifths) format.

As always, this application works only on Macintosh computers
running System 8.5 to 9.2.2 with OMS. If you're curious about
why, read about the Mushrooms Studio at www.cikira.com.

System Requirements for maxWerk

    A Power Macintosh G3 or better with Operating System 8.5 through 9.2, running OMS. See your OMS manual for instructions about how to install this MIDI management system and how to create a studio setup document.
    40,000K of free RAM
    A MIDI interface
    While a MIDI sound module compatible with the Roland GS standard is highly recommended, you may address multiple polyphonic and multi-timbral synthesizers. Bear in mind that maxWerk allows up to sixteen polyphonic parts, and you are likely to think of uses for all of them!

"The Complex Chord Map" seems a great idea.
... but the remaining things on the program are a big ugly mesh.
IMHO.

Perhaps... someday I'll have to remove the dust to my CodeWarrior...

it is what it is... a different approach. im surprised it even works this cikira chick is intriguing
have u seen the rest of her site? all her synth collection??
im betting this has to be a max application? built on its framework?

[IIO]

she works with max v.3 in mac os 8.

which is a pity, because i once wanted her to test my modular sequencer but that requires the v4 objects.

[supernova777]

interesting, so you've been in contact with her! i dont blame u! heheeh

[IIO]

i once told her she can keep maxwerk and her hardware, but what i really want is her house. you can twist err... turn it around!
