I'd quite like to be able to switch between using my speakers and headphones by using a midi control on the console. Although I can do this by getting off the bench and operating the audio interface from the front panel, this is rather inconvenient.
I can get so far with a solution to this:
a. by dedicating a midi control to advance the audio preset selection and having another control to go back one preset selection and
b. by making adjacent presets be speakers and headphones only.
For example make audio presets 1 and 2 have identical routing except that preset 1 connects to the "speaker" devices and preset 2 connects to only the headphones ("devices"). By advancing the preset by from 1 to 2 (via the midi control) the system changes to use audio preset 2 (headphones) and pressing the preset back button the system switches to audio preset 1 (speakers).
It works. However, it is inconvenient to have to remember what is selected and you can go forward or back too far.
It could be improved, a little, if there was a control panel to select a specific audio preset, at least then on a per instrument basis you could set two controls to activate defined audio presets, one for the speakers and one for headphones.
Has anyone got a good solution to this for Hauptwerk?
Other solutions involve using the audio interface control application to change the active profile (to be one for headphones) and this probably could be automated (with some work), provided I could trigger the action from a midi event. Getting a midi event such as a piston press to "pass through Hauptwerk" isn't something that's provided in the system. It seems to require another little program intercepting this midi event rather than passing it on to Hauptwerk.
Any thoughts?
