Dear Hauptwerk friends,
Power management has already been discussed at various points, via master-slave sockets, etc.
With my instrument I could not solve the problem satisfactorily until today.
Organ ON
When I turn on my Mac Mini manually via the computer push key, the other electrical devices (MIDI electronics, organ light, audio interface, active speakers) are switched on via a master-slave power strip.
Result: There is a moderate switch-on noise. (At the beginning, the fuse was always blown out. This I have now replaced by a sluggish circuit breaker.)
Desired solution: Actually, the speakers would have to be switched on with a time delay. But I have not found a power strip with timed freely configurable relay for it.
After all, this power strip makes it at a fixed interval: https://www.toolab.de/deutsch/powerseq-501/
Organ OFF
To turn it off, I use the shutdown software button in Hauptwerk.
Result: After shutting down the MacMini, you will hear a very loud unpleasant switch-off sound. Only when the MacMini is turned off does the master-slave power strip take away the power from all electrical appliances. This leads to a loud bang, which is certainly not good for the speakers permanently.
Desired solution: I would prefer a shutdown script from the computer, which turns off the speakers first. Only then can the computer and the other technical devices switch off.
Does anyone know a Mac software that can send commands to a power strip when switching off? Has anyone ever used this software? https://www.dssw.co.uk/index.html
I would be very happy about all hints and solutions from the forum.
With kind regards
Sven
