Thanks, Axel.
The important thing is that your AU/VST host (sequencer/DAW/etc.) is set to use the *same* sample rate that Hauptwerk is set to use. E.g. for 48 kHz:
- On Hauptwerk's 'General settings | Audio device ...' screen make sure the sample rate is set to 48 kHz and OK the screen.
- Set your AU/VST host to use 48 kHz for its sample rate. E.g.:
----- Cubase (v9): Use 'Project | Project Setup: Sample rate'.
----- Logic (v10.4.8): Use 'File| Project Settings | Audio | General: Sample Rate'.
----- Reaper: Use 'File | Project settings | Project Settings: Project sample rate'.
- Note also, that some Hauptwerk organs have default pitches and temperaments other than A440/Equal, so if using Hauptwerk with other software or hardware instruments, with the relevant organ loaded in Hauptwerk, you probably also want to use Hauptwerk's Pitch control panel (which can be opened via 'View | Large floating control panels ...) to set:
----- Temperament = Equal
----- Base pitch Hz = 440.0
I don't have experience with Dorico myself, and it it isn't one of the hosts that we officially test with or list as supported, but the same should apply, i..e. you'd just need to make sure it's using 48 kHz.
(Nearly all Hauptwerk sample sets are sampled at 48 kHz, which is why Hauptwerk doesn't have an option for 44.1 kHz. You can play a sample sets at a higher rate than it was recorded with no loss of quality, but playing at a lower rate would lose some quality and need additional anti-aliasing filters, which would themselves lose some quality and add some CPU overheads.)
