Hi Martin, those are the MOTU answer.

Hi Antonio,
It sounds like this is a specific issue related to the hauptwerk software.
To confirm the function of your Audio interface, please follow these instructions for setting up a basic loop test:
1.) Connect your Audio interface to your Mac.
2.) Open your DAW, create a new project and add two audio tracks. Import any audio file to the first track. Set the first track's output analog 1.
3.) Physically connect a cable from analog output 1 to analog input 1 on the interface.
4.) Set the input of the second audio track to analog 1.
5.) Record enable the second track and record. The audio on track one will be recorded on track two. Note* certain DAWs will require a track to have both an input and output to be selected for recording. If this is the case, make sure you set the output of the second track to an unused output to a avoid any feedback loops. In Logic, you don't need just an input or output.
6.) Repeat step 5 for each of your outputs (or inputs) on the interface you suspect is problematic. If the recorded audio on track two sounds clean, we can conclude that the problem is likely elsewhere in your setup.
Keep me posted.
Thanks,
Andrew

I am not using a DAW I am using the Motu as an interface audio only with Hauptwerk, so I can not experiment with the instructions you explain.
There is a sound retard, a silence on 20 seconds going from an organ sample 44.1 to one of 48.0 and viceversa.
Maybe there is something you can do in the next software update to avoid this?.
All you explain does not clarifie the issue.
Thanks.

Antonio,
Unfortunately, without testing in a different software environment we will be limiting our testing resources. When the organ samples are changed from 44.1khz to 48khz, does this require the audio system to switch sampling rates? Or does Hauptwerks do a real time sample rate conversion? Changing the hardware's sample rate will require the unit to re-clock. Any audio interface will take a brief moment to re-clock. It will never be seamless.
Also, why are you changing sample rates between samples? This is not a good idea.
Thanks,
Andrew

This is understood, every sample is made at a sample rate some at 44.1 others at 48.0, this is fixed when you load a sample it loadas at his sample rate, Hauptwerk does not do any rate conversion, so the only explanation is the moment the interface needs to do a re-clock, 20 seconds?, this is to long. You said changing sample rates between samples is not a good idea, why? samples are made this way, so tell us why.
Thanks Martin
