Meet maxWerk
maxWerk is a loop-based MIDI composition tool that gets its name
from the Max programming language with which it was built. It can
give endless musical suggestions, but it also encourages entirely
original ideas. Using tracks set up in GS mode, you can work with a
set of standardized but editable sounds in a single-device
environment, and prioritize the construction of your Werk before
becoming preoccupied with sound design and multiple-device
mixing. Using normally enabled tracks, you can include up to 16
different devices if you prefer to address a favorite synthesizer
setup that suits your creativity. maxWerk lets you experiment as you
compose, making changes to various ways of structuring your music
without disturbing or changing aspects that you already like. You
can produce widely divergent flavors of music in maxWerk without
formal training, instrument "chops", or knowledge of music notation.

maxWerk can incorporate your recorded MIDI input to its looping
tracks along with generated ideas and on-screen edits. As your
maxWerk composition develops, you can create and change any of
the following components:

each to play through any other Basic Loop instrument.
