Hello,
I am new to the virtual organ scene. I am converting my home instrument from pipes to virtual in order to downsize and spend more time playing and less time working in the chamber.
I have an Artisan Legacy relay system in my 2 manual console which has midi capabilities.
I have a computer setup with HW 3.30 and the Paramount 310 organ which is running OK so far. I do have 2 quirky issues so far that I am stuck on:
1) The pistons send Midi Program Change messages. I used MIDI-OX to capture the midi data and verified that Piston 1 sends data 1, piston 2 sends data 2 etc. I mapped the pistons (I have 12) to generals 1 - 12 in HW which are connected to generals 1 - 12 on the Paramount 310. For some reason, when I hit piston 1, it actually actuates piston 2 in HW and so on up to piston 12 operating HW piston 13. I double checked all the settings and can't figure it out.
2) I setup some generals using the computer directly. I made sure I saved before exiting but upon restarting, they were not right. I then cleared everything and set just General 1 doing just 1 stop each on pedal, accomp and great. I saved the settings and backed up the settings to a file. I exited the program, went back in and the piston had changed. I ended up with a different stop on pedal, 2 stops on accomp and 2 stops on great. I then reloaded my HW backed up settings. The piston was then correct UNTIL I hit another piston and went back to it, then it was incorrect again with the same wrong / added stops as before.
