Aloha,
Ok, I now have all three manuasls and the pedal board putting
out midi signals, all on Channel 1.
I have read through the chapter, "The Hauptwerk System Set Up
Window", Chap. 12. I guess I don't follow the language since
I don't know anything about midi!
All I need/want to do is correctly number my manuals and pedals
with unique to each channel numbers, I think. There seem to
be various ways to do this, per the above Chapter 12. My
question is about the only set up window I believe
which applies to my case: "Fixed Manual MIDI Inputs".
As I presume that this will stay constant no matter whose
Hauptwerk organ I plan to use, i.e., a Milan Digital Audio,
one from OrganART Media, or Evensong, for example -- or
do these input definitions need to change with the organ
selected for use?
I presume the correct channels to assign would be Top Manual,
Channel 1; Center Manual, Channel 2; Lower Manual, Channel 3;
Pedal Manual, Channel 4. Or is some other numbering used,
needed, or anyway it changes depending upon whose organ
you want to use at the moment?
Whart I find confusing is the illustraed set up given in Chap 12 showing,
for example: "Input 1 (Pedal):.....Midex 1.......Channel 1.....Keyshift 0"
Ok what is a "Midex"?, a "Keyshift" ?
Or, am I supposed to use the "Redirectable MIDI Input" Example.
Also, I find the short paragraph of explaining words under each
of these example windows non-underastandable, at least to me!
However I set these manuals to Channel numbers, I intend to
connect all four to a midi merge unit which has only the single
output to the midi input connector on my PC (which is not together
just yet, Elaine is still in California). I guess if she were here
I wouldn't be so confused.
Anyway, a couple sentences of simple explanation of what
I need to do in my very straight forward application of my
keyboards to the soon to be built Hauptwerk PC would be appreciated.
Sorry to be ignorant!!
Thanks so very much,
