Dear Friends,
Today we announce the release of our new product - iStop.
(Promotional code at the end of this announce!)
This is the MIDI control unit which you needed to build stop jambs with "live stop labels".
This unit works simultaneously as LCD "label" controller and stop encoder-decoder/driver.
It can work with SAM/SDK solenoid-operated stop switches as well as with lighted momentary pistons.
When working with SAM/SDK switch:
- Upon Stop On/Off command received from Hauptwerk (for example on preset recall), iStop unit will move the SAM/SDK switch to proper position to reflect the new stop status.
- Upon manual change of SAM/SDK switch, iStop unit will send to Hauptwerk status update message.
When working with lighted piston or combination of momentary switch and LED:
- Upon Stop On/Off command received from Hauptwerk (for example on preset recall), iStop unit will update the status of the LED to reflect the stop status.
- Upon manual piston/switch actuation, iStop unit will send to Hauptwerk status update message.
The 2x8 LCD display on iStop supports Hauptwerk text message protocol so that it can be updated upon loading each sampleset to actual stop name.
Each iStop unit has three essential parameters to make it unique within same Hauptwerk installation:
- Hauptwerk LCD ID for the display;
- Stop Channel;
- Stop Note.
The LCD display will respond to Hauptwerk text message addressed to its ID.
The stop will respond to that Stop Note on Stop Channel when controlled by Hauptwerk and will send that Stop Note on that Stop Channel when manually operated.
There are few more user-configurable parameters.
All parameters are uploaded by device-specific SysEx messages.
We have developed free Windows utility for this purpose, but since the SysEx format is open, the unit can be configured using third-party software, sequencers etc.
Last but not least: iStop is chainable. Many units can be chained on single MIDI line so that entire set has common MIDI input and MIDI output. This woud greatly simplify the wiring and installation.
We offer various iStop sets (bundles) at verrry reasonable prices.
More details can be found on product pages:

The promotional 15% discount is valid between 12 February and 12th March 2016 for all iStop related bundles to everyone that used following promotional code:
