Hello Tmeagher,
Yes -- Hauptwerk runs as a stand-alone application, outside of any sequencer/DAW software (Cubase, Logic, Pro Tools, etc.). You can optionally use the Hauptwerk AU/VST Link to route MIDI output from a sequencer/DAW into Hauptwerk, and audio output from Hauptwerk into a sequencer/DAW.
Please see the 'MIDI sequencing, the Hauptwerk AU/VST Link and applying external real- time effects plug-ins' section in the main Hauptwerk user guide (on the Help menu in Hauptwerk -- pages 218-239 in the current v5.0.1 version) for full details, and the 'Composing pieces off-line from a MIDI sequencer configured conventionally ... (Hauptwerk as a ‘slave’ MIDI device)' sub-section (pages 223-228) in particular for step-by-step instructions.
Note also that Pro Tools isn't an AU/VST host that we officially support for the Hauptwerk AU/VST Link plug-ins, but it may work anyway (assuming Pro Tools can use AU or VST plug-ins).
Best regards, Martin.
