PERCUSSION
The MW percussion editor is a highly intuitive ‘step sequencer’ used
to arrange original drum beats and breaks. Up to a 32 beats can be
played in each bar.
Sound sources can be Wav, Mp3, Vsti or Midi & control over all the
necessary parameters for composition are provided.
SAMPLE LOOPS
MW contains one of the most intuitive Auto Time-stretching /
Pitch-shifting sample engines available. This allows any audio
sample loop to be stretched or compressed to sync perfectly with the
current composition with a single click of the mouse. Pitch shifting
can easily be switched on or off allowing the user complete freedom
to experiment during the creative process.
VIRTUAL INSTRUMENTS
MW products support standard VST Instruments. The speed and
flexibility of the onboard VST automation makes the creation of
complex parts a purely musical process. New presets can be saved and
recalled with ease from the file browser. Additional support for
hardware controllers makes MW the most flexible and creative VST
instrument host available. A broad range of quality instruments are
included with each version of Making Waves.
MIDI
MW allows the loading, playback and editing of standard MIDI files.
MIDI files can be remixed using different source sounds and effects
including audio samples. Support for multiple midi devices is also
built in allowing MW to fully integrate with all new or existing
midi compatible hardware. MW offers a user configurable midi
environment in which external hardware such as midi synths and drum
machines can be hooked up to the MW sequencer. System Exclusive
buttons let you receive or transmit ‘sysex’ data to or from your
chosen midi device/instrument. Midi clock and MTC are also supported
allowing you to send a timing signal to selected external devices.
XG SUPPORT
MW also supports the Yamaha XG standard for midi effects and voices
including all DSP audio effects as found onboard the SW1000XG
soundcard* and other XG devices.
QUANTISE
Easily put your note sequences in time with the track quantise
option. Each track can have its own setting and quantise is
non-destructive allowing the user to experiment with different types
without permanently changing a part.
EFFECTS
Digital effects can be applied to individual tracks and sections of
a song. Master effects such as a global EQ setting can be applied to
the whole arrangement. Choose from the vast array of professional
effects included or use any VST or DirectX plugin for unrivalled
flexibility. Any effect parameter can be automated up to a maximum
resolution of 1/384th of a bar!
