Hi there,
I'm very new to the workings of the Hauptwerk system and have recently purchased the Basic edition and have started experimenting with it and working my way through the instruction manual.
In the meantime, my friend is an organ builder who purchased a 3 manual Bradford electronic which has a wonderful drawstop, solid wood-finish console. He'd like to convert it to function with HW, instead of the aging original electronics, and sell the final product as an 'electronic' organ with a fixed stop-list as per the engravings on the drawstops.
My profession is in electronics and I'm a bit of an organ nut, so he's tasked me to get the whole system working. I'd like the above described console to operate in an entirely headless manner, if possible, as I imagine that the potential customers would not be too interested in trying to fathom out the intricacies of HW.
So to my query: Is it possible to configure or operate the capture system in HW like a simple PO capture system where a memory channel/level is selected directly by MIDI command and the piston combinations are assigned to that memory when the Set button is toggled ON and retrieved when Set is OFF?
If it is possible to do this, how does one exercise this functionality using the Registration panel?
So far, through experimentation with the Registration panel in conjunction with the instructions, I have not managed to achieve this aim. Instead, it seems that one has to create combinations and save them into different files (Combs01, Combs02, etc) and then assign each of these files to the Cued favourites list, which can then be selected and loaded via MIDI commands.
Is my thinking correct thus far?
The problem with this method is that interfacing with HW via a screen and mouse is needed which frustrates the project's headless requirement.
I've read one or two posts on the forum relating to headless operation but didn't seem to find an answer or helpful details relating to the above query.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
Gary
