UNCLE! Ok, I concede. HW has beat me. Here is the situation…
Our church has had it’s Moller pipe organ refurbished and the action replaced by a Classic OrganWorks system. A Hauptwerk installation was provided to supplement the Moller. The HW side is now running on a Mac Mini, with Motu MIDI interface and a Motu Ao24 audio interface connected via AVB Ethernet. Our chosen virtual organ is the Salisbury Cathedral set.
I have three know issues: No audio output, an apparent conflict of assignment between the Great manual and one specific stop (Great 8 Trumpet,) and the virtual keyboards for the Salibury set can’t be found!
I have worked my way through HW’s abstraction levels of audio output to set up multi-channel output. Briefly, on an initial attempt, I had output without any stops activated! (Thus validating the signal chain from the audio driver, forward through the interface, amps, and speakers.) But I have lost even that. HW’s large status panel confirms MIDI console input (apparently on the correct channels.) The Audio bargraph remains flat dead. My understanding is that if reflects HW’s streaming output to the host device driver. Thus I assume there are still errors internal to HW’s configuration.
The next bit really puzzles me… So I went looking for the Salisbury’s virtual keyboards/manuals to see if the Midi input was reflected on the virtual keys. There don’t appear to be any! I’ve been all through the menus, but all I can call up are the L/R stop panels and the middle section showing only the pistons. No keyboards!
At any rate, I have included a diagnostic file of the present state. I have no confidence in the configuration, having made many different attempts, but it should illustrate what I am attempting to do/learn/accomplish. Any suggestions welcome.
Next bit…
To get a feel for associating the physical organ with HW, I started with physical stops that are found within the Salisbury set. Using Auto-detect worked great for the stops. When I proceeded to the Manuals, HW complained that one of the stops was in conflict with what it learned of the Great and ask which/either/or both to respond to. I took that to mean that some key was producing the same MIDI message as the cited stop. Using a MIDI monitor utility, I have examined the output from both the manuals and the stops. Everything looks good. The keys report on the proper channels for the associated manual (1-4,) with corresponding note value and on/off (64/0.) The stops come in on channel 16, also looking correct. There doesn’t appear to be any overlap of MIDI data from OW.
What is HW complaining about?
Thanks,
Fred
