I think that to clarify the position it is perhaps worth noting that:
If the digital organ's stop controls send a recognisable, distinct and consistent midi code for each physical stop control and If the digital organ's combination system can be set so that the pistons send a recognisable, distinct and consistent midi code for each pistons AND so that the digital organ's combination system does not make any changes to the physical stop controls on the digital organ, then the digital organ's stops may be autodetected to operate the virtual instruments stop controls and the digital organ's pistons may be autodetected to operate the virtual instruments pistons and / or Hauptwerk's master pistons.
I think the manual does not really make this (quite common) case clear.

Hello Iain,
Do you mean that within your digital organ there is some setting by which you can effectively disable/disconnect its internal combination system (i.e. so that its pistons never affect the states of its stops)? I'd never heard of a digital organ where that was possible (unless removing its internal electronics and rewiring it, etc.).
What make/model is it, if so?
