THE SEQUENCER
MW can support up to 1000 tracks for sequencing, though a typical
arrangement requires only a small percentage of the available
tracks. Audio samples, audio loops, mp3’s, virtual instruments and
midi sounds can all be sequenced along with any effects that are to
be used in the composition. The MW sequencer has one of the quickest
and easiest interfaces to master.
Arrangements within the sequencer can be edited and changed during
playback including the addition / removal of effects, note
arrangement edits and overdubs giving the user total creative
freedom and control over compositions. The Track Tools facility
allows users to drag and drop in-progress audio projects from MW
into other applications - for example into a dedicated audio editor
for additional specialised processing.

SEQUENCING
OPTIONS
All MW versions support 4 general sequencing modes- Single Play,
Note, Percussion and Loop. A brief explanation of these modes can be
found below. It is important to remember that any song arrangement
can be composed using some or all of these modes simultaneously. MW
also supports further creative sequencing options including: Beat
Splicer & Cut-off, both of which are explained later on.
SINGLE PLAY
This can be any sound source and will be played back by the
sequencer with no pitch or tempo correction applied. Perfect for
adding sample sounds and effects.
NOTES
The MW note arrangement facility allows Wav, Mp3, Vsti, and Midi
sounds/notes to be arranged over six octaves and provides total
control over all the necessary parameters including envelope for
attack, decay, sustain and release of audio samples.
All note information can be input via the mouse, or played ‘live’ or
in ‘step time’ via midi or standard pc keyboards – all with zero
latency. Using a midi keyboard to input a sequence will also capture
the velocity of every note you play.
A number of additional creative arrangement tools are also provided
including an arpeggiator and chord toolbox, with presets to help
boost productivity.
