X-Wheel of Fortune 6 (X-WoF 6) is a highly
versatile multipart music system with inbuilt cell
step control sequencer for creating tracks of
various types of music like Ambient or even
soundtracks. Just set up certain basics and let the
machine create variations for you as there are
several inbuilt algorithms just for this purpose
giving this machine it's magic touch.
X-WoF 6 features a great variety of 262 inbuilt
scales (Pentatonic, Hexatonic and Heptatonic) using
harmonical scale steps for fairly easy composition
or arrangement of tracks and even learn more about
harmony in music. Additionally you might assign a
dedicated - even experimental - User scale for each
patch.
There are 10 inbuilt soundengines: two synthesizers
for Pad parts, one for Bass, one for HiSq (high
sequences), one for Athmo-loops (like rain,
waterflow, sonar etc.) and OneShot sounds plus 5
percussion instruments. For overall interactive
realtime control there are two XY SuperModulation
pads plus one XY Master Control pad with the option
to control the other two. Thus you have up to 28
different modulation destinations under the control
of just one knob even with different polarities i.e.
directions.
This is a complete new X-WoF with the major aim from
the start to have everything built around the new
cell step control sequencer which was intended to
give best possible overview and versatility. The
Cell Step Control Sequencer is the heart of the
machine offering good overview and easy access to
it's various features. It is called cell step
control sequencer because in fact every step is a
cell of variable play length in bars (from 1 to 8)
plus options to set up different subtempo settings
for Bass, HiSq, HiHat and Perc 3-5 part and
assigning an Athmo or One Shot wave for every 2nd
step with adjustable level und tuning! You can
determine harmonical scale steps to be used for each
step independantly to be played by the Pad parts and
used as starting note for Bass and HiSq patterns.
These scale steps are derived from the currently
selected scale. For every 8 steps there is the
option to set up a different base note to transpose
the next 7 steps accordingly.
Major differences between registered i.e. enhanced
Pro and the free version:
* presets/patches: Pro = 64 / Free = 4 fully useable
and 28 with additional voice overs at varying
intervals during playback
and forced switching of edit panels - anyway
switching back to any other panel is possible;
* Athmo/One shot Part: Pro 100 waves / Free = only
60 waves (... ehem ... the more interesting waves
are from 61 to 100)
* MIDI Out: Pro for all internally generated note
events / in Free = not present
* MIDI In: Free only for MID CC while Pro offers
MIDI In for playing notes and triggering instruments
