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!
