Hauptwerk's MIDI recorder does record any movements of the 'Volume' slider (on the '
Audio, MIDI and Performance' large control panel), so if the person creating the MIDI file had been using that dynamically whilst playing (e.g. as a substitute for an expression pedal) then those movements would play back. If the person playing the MIDI file normally had his/her volume slider set at less than 100% then that could make the result louder.
Mel -- in case that's the issue you're experiencing, my advice would be normally to keep Hauptwerk's volume slider at 100%, and turn the output level down on your amplifier instead.
