and automatically moves to the gate-off position. This mode is
good for pads and special effects. Be careful about adding Offset
Note Lines (described below) in this mode, for they can greatly
increase the demands on your sound module for polyphony
(notes that can sound at once). Experiment with various gate
times with the remaining modes described below!

Random retrig - maxWerk follows all pitch changes but decides
at each step whether to sustain or re-trigger repeating note
values. The timing of pitch pattern changes is preserved, but
there is variety in the rhythm pattern of the notes.
values. The timing of pitch pattern changes is preserved, but
there is variety in the rhythm pattern of the notes.
Alt1 and alt2 notefilters - The last six menu choices are based
on the principle of selectively triggering passing or non-chordal
tones. On alternating loops, maxWerk substitutes or sustains the
last played triadic tone at each passing tone, thereby ignoring any
passing tones while preserving the basic figure. Passing tones are
scale steps 2, 4, 6, or 7, pitches that are not part of a triadic chord
built on the Tonic note value 1. The effect of alt1 all-steps, alt1
changes, and alt1 random on any loop that contains passing
tones is that a musical statement in chordal tones is followed by,
and then alternated with, a response with added passing tones.
The difference in the alt2 notefilter set is that maxWerk plays the
unfiltered figure first. Obviously, these modes can't enhance any
step pattern of notes that does not already include passing tones.

To be thorough, we'll revisit explanations of the pattern graphics
with added detail. The notes display has values that represent
pitches of any seven-step Scale. When you arrange these values 0
through 8 in patterns, a value of 0 (a rest) always causes silence,
whatever the value in the velocity display below. Values 1 through 7
trigger Scale notes in the various modes of play described above,
and their pitches wrap around as you transpose the Scale. Value 8
always triggers the independently transposable note, referred to in
maxWerk as a (+)Note. With a transposition of 1 set for value 8,
maxWerk triggers the current Tonic as though the step with value 8
