2.16 Werk Files

Be sure to name and save your new Werk via standard Macintosh File menu commands, while it's under development and before you make a midifile recording. Werk files save with the extension .mWk automatically added so the program can identify and load them.

There are buttons to save and load individual basic loop files and drum loop files in their respective Editor windows. Single-loop files include all the information in the Note Editor window as well as Controls A and B and Bend. Take care to differentiate between the two types of loop when you set up file folders for them, and store them separately from Werk files. Note that when you import a saved single loop you may need to adjust the number of steps before you play it to make it compatible with a Werk of a different Meter. You'll need to double-check its THRU assignments for Offset Note Lines, as well as stored program changes, controller assignments, and the GS bend range too if GS is your instrument mode.
