Hexrow

What it does

• Note entry by key position

  Notes follow the physical key, so the layout works on QWERTY and QWERTZ. The cursor row stays centred, F1 to F8 set the octave, and effect values go in as hex.

• Opens XM and MOD modules

  Hexrow loads and saves XM modules and XI instruments. It loads 15- and 31-sample MOD files and saves MODs with 4 or 8 channels.

• Instruments with 12-point envelopes

  Each instrument has volume and panning envelopes, a 96-key sample map and up to 16 samples, plus its own MIDI output.

• Sample editor with recording

  Load WAV, AIFF, FLAC, MP3, IFF 8SVX or raw data, or record from the audio input. Crop, reverse, normalize, resample and search for loop points with crossfades.

• Render to WAV or to a new sample

  Export the song as WAV at the sample rate and bit depth you choose. A song, pattern, track or block can also become a new sample.

• Play along and record

  Jam on the computer keyboard or a velocity-sensitive MIDI keyboard and record into the song while it plays. Each track has its own oscilloscope and meter.
