Do you have the MIDI out from Hauptwerk connected to the Rodgers MIDI input? Not necessary unless you want H/W to control the Rodgers.
I had a similar situation and did a sort of kludge fix. Between the Rodgers MIDI out and the Hauptwerk MIDI input, I put a MIDI merge. One thing that does is it permits Rodgers (manuals, etc) to connect to Hauptwerk but blocks Hauptwerk from controlling the Rodgers. A "one way" MIDI traffic situation. I also installed two separate sets of pistons. One for the original Rodgers C/A and the other set for H/W control.
Further, I have 2 separate audio setups, one for the Rodgers and one for H/W. But that is for another reason.

(BTW, not relevant here in this thread, the MIDI merge, because one of my keyboards (manuals) is for a separate connection to a synthesisor and that 2nd MIDI in port of the merger is connected to the MIDI output from the synth.)
