Good evening all.
I have recently been setting up an LCD Display (2 x 16) for displaying the currently loaded (and loading) organ, and the selected Combination Set. This is for my new organ (OPUS II) which is nearly complete.
The display is driven by a fairly simple program (written in C) which also allows four buttons to select the object to be loaded (organ, combination set, or temperament), to scroll back and forth through the available entries, and to choose which to load. The control program runs on an Arduino Teensy (a tiny ARM-based micro controller computer) which in turn sends user defined or Hauptwerk-generated textual messages to the LCD display.
This works fine and is rather lower cost than many of the commercially available LCD Displays, and has the advantage of allowing the user written program to be flexibly amended.
And so onto my question: Is there a MIDI message associated with Hauptwerk shutting down, which Hauptwerk sends to the LCD display device, which I can detect in the Teensy control program and thus display a message that Hauptwerk is shutting down, and then has shut down? If so, can the MIDI message details be released so that I can capture the MIDI data and use it in my code?
I have analysed the MIDI messages (which seem to be in MIDI SysEx/RAW rather than SysEx - I expected the latter) and cannot quite see what I am looking for. I know that Hauptwerk sends a MIDI message when all organs are unloaded, which is fine - but I would like to know whether I can detect a Hauptwerk shutdown.
Many thanks ...
