Thank you for reading this. Around December last year I completed the putting together of my Hauptwerk Virtual Organ but regrettably I have had little time to do much more than tinkle out a few hymns on it. Nevertheless, I realise the extreme capacity I have to do many things with Hauptwerk.
My set up is Hauptwerk 6 Advanced edition running on a pretty fast Intel I7 multicore computer with 32Gb RAM and SSD etc., touch screen monitor, AGO pedalboard, 4 manuals made up from M-Audio Series 3 64-key midi keyboards mounted in a bespoke Acetal module with music stand and light. I am mainly running the Salisbury Father Willis (1, 2 &) 3 on the platform.
I am asking whether due to my lack of organ knowledge, Ianyone that knows Hauptwerk inside out that could help me or that I could employ for a few hours to get me over a few hurdles either remotely or in person (SW England, Dorset).
The sort of simple things I am struggling on at this stage are:
Being able to programme and save the open stops so that when I restart the organ, they are still available on those settings. I have read the manual on this many, many times but either my brain's dead or I'm missing something or the organ has a fault which I acknowledge is unlikely.
Understanding divisions well enough?
Although I have set up physical swell and solo pedals which do work, understanding how I should go about addressing the volume control on the other two manuals - I have delved into this a bit by adjusting the volumes for particular stops or ranges of stops in the "back office".
The possibility of loading a different organ which I can do but then getting back to the original one correctly seems difficult.
At the moment I don't have any pistons fitted but I have room and I am able to do that but I'm not sure what I would wish to control with them as if everything mentioned above functions o.k. I may not have the need . . . just yet.
