The Control and Bend windows differ from the main Note Editor in that once you enter values, to have them transmit you must enable MIDI output via the activation menu in the right margin of the display. This lets you block and unblock controller and bend effects while you consider patch selections. You can invert transmitted values here too, and maxWerk remembers the activation setting.
It's best not to move Controller and Bend windows because they open positioned over the Note Editor on your computer screen, so you can conveniently compare their patterns against your pattern of notes. While you can draw in values by hand, both Control Editors and the Bend Editor offer generated patterns of sawtooth, sine, pulse, triangle, or either of two parabolic curves. You can auto- generate one to four cycles of any of these waveforms, and you can compress values on entry. As an alternative approach, you can quickly generate repeating sequences by entering one instance of the desired set beginning at step 1. Press the button labeled repeat a series, and enter the number of steps to be repeated into the dialog box presented. You'll find the same function available for each of the displays in the Note and Drum Editor windows.
