Hello Ken,
If:
1. Your console sends (exactly and only) a MIDI note-on message as you turn one of its stops on, and (exactly and only) a corresponding MIDI note-off message as you turn that one of its stops off again,
... and:
2. During auto-detection you make sure that you turn the stop on, and then off again, and don't touch anything else on the console, and that you don't tick the '
Toggle state ...' option on the auto-detection screen,
... then Hauptwerk will detect the event type as '
Stop or hold-piston: MIDI note-on/off'. Hence presumably your MIDI stops are behaving differently from 1.
What type of MIDI stops does your console have? Draw-knobs or tabs? Solenoid-actuated or illuminated? Do they have different physical 'on' and 'off' positions in which they remain whilst in that state (i.e. a latching action physically), or do they spring back to their standard positions after changing state (i.e. a momentary action physically)?
Please also:
- Load the St. Anne's organ.
- On the '
General settings | General preferences | Advanced ...' screen tab, turn on the '
Diagnostics: log all MIDI messages received ...' option. OK the screen.
- Wait 10 seconds or so (without touching anything, so that I can tell the relevant MIDI messages apart easily in the log).
- (Being careful not to touch anything else, for the same reason), right-click on the Open Diapason Large 8 stop and select '
Auto-detect ...'.
- (Being careful not to touch anything else), turn the relevant MIDI stop on (or, If it has a momentary action, then perform whatever push/pull/press action you would use to turn the stop on in normal use).
- Wait 10 seconds or so (without touching anything).
- (Being careful not to touch anything else), turn the relevant MIDI stop off again (or, If it has a momentary action, then perform whatever push/pull/press action you would use to turn the stop off again in normal use).
- Wait 10 seconds or so (without touching anything).
- (Being careful not to touch anything else), make sure that the '
Toggle state ...' option is set in the way that the action of your physical stops require (i.e. ticked if their physical action is momentary, not ticked if their physical action is latching). OK the screen.
- (Without touching anything else), use '
Help | Create a diagnostic file' and send the resulting file to us:
http://www.hauptwerk.com/forms/support/ . That will allow me to see exactly what MIDI messages your MIDI stop is transmitting.
- Turn MIDI logging off again on the general preferences screen.
Thanks.
Best regards, Martin.
