Thanks, Ken.

To satisfy myself that I am not going bananas with this ( !! ) I am going to double-check my reply to your question by setting up some other organs as "culprit-first", and using St. Anne's as the guinea pig "victim-second". I believe that any MIDI switches with OUTPUT configured as "ON by default" will turn on the same corresponding LED if said switch/led is unconfigured in the next organ loaded.
It trying that test, it would be helpful if you could do it as follows, please:
- Launch Hauptwerk via a 'spare' '
Hauptwerk (alt confg N)' configuration (desktop shortcut) .
- Use '
File | Revert all settings to factory defaults' within that configuration to ensure that all of its settings are (still) at their defaults. (Hauptwerk will exit after you revert the settings.)
- Re-launch that same '
Hauptwerk (alt confg N)' configuration, and select the audio device and the minimum MIDI IN and OUT ports necessary for reproducing the problem.
- Stick to using that configuration for your testing.
- For the two organs, if possible, stick with just MDA-supplied organs (e.g. St. Anne's, any of the CODM organs that are installed as standard with Hauptwerk, or the MDA Salisbury, since I understand you have the latter). That way, if you need to send us a diagnostic file we could try loading the organs with your MIDI settings to examine and test them, and also we know that those organs don't have any unusual logic within their organ definitions.
- For the organs used in the test, configure/auto-detect as few virtual controls as possible to reproduce the problem, so that it's easier to identify the relevant MIDI messages that are responsible in the log.

It should be absolutely impossible for organ-specific MIDI settings or states from one organ to affect the MIDI output sent by any other (provided that their OrganIDs are different). However, note that also it's possible to control Hauptwerk's master combinations and menu functions on a 'for all organs' basis, e.g. by auto-detecting those functions with the 'for all organs' right-click option on their control panel buttons or via the "
General settings | MIDI/key triggers for master pistons and menu functions (for all organs, unless overridden)" screen. (However, even if MIDI settings for master combinations are configured on a 'for all organs' basis, combination sets/files, registrations, and organ's virtual control states will still always be entirely organ-specific.)
It would be key to identify from the MIDI log the specific MIDI output message(s) from Hauptwerk that are causing the problem with your console, preferably tested as above (with minimal settings and MDA organs, so that we can load and look at your settings meaningfully if needed).
