I just successfully configured my LaunchPad Mini Mark 2 to act as a master volume control, so I can make my Swell expression pedal be a real Swell pedal, no longer master volume. This made my wife very happy. I did this by assigning one button to the '0 db' trim reset (so I always have a known reference point to return to, the 'normal' organ volume), one button to '1 db down' and one button to '1 db up'. This all works perfectly. But I have two minor issues with this:
1) With the trim set to 0 db and the master volume at 100 (where I will probably leave it, as the user can't go up from here), I have to go to the Audio Outputs window and set the Speaker Level to -15 db for every output group in order to keep the audio output meter in the green for very large registrations. It sounds fine, but this is such an extreme value that I wonder if I'm doing something wrong, although I sure can't see what.
2) It would be really nice if when the organ is finished loading, Hauptwerk could issue an internal command to 'press' this trim reset piston, so it would always start at the standard reference point. In fact, while I'm wishing, there are certain Master Couplers that I wish would be set on at startup. Is there a way to do this? In my ideal and most general situation, the user could hit a button that in effect starts a macro recorder running. The user then presses whatever pistons and stops he/she wants and then stops the macro recorder. Whatever things the user did in this macro recording would always run at startup. Sorry... maybe this should have gone into the requests bin, but there are so many features that I don't know about yet that I'm hoping something akin to this already exists.
