Hello Iain,
In case your thumb pistons send MIDI control change messages: Hauptwerk v7.0.0 had this bug in it:
- Bug-fix: since v7.0.0, MIDI pistons ... that send MIDI control change messages would fail to auto-detect to menu functions (control panel or piston toolbar buttons). Other types of MIDI messages (including MIDI note-on/offs, program changes, NRPNs, etc.) and other types of virtual controls (such as virtual expression pedals/sliders, stops, or a sample set's native virtual pistons), would auto-detect properly. Since MIDI control changes are rarely used for MIDI stops/pistons, the problem was usually only relevant if trying to auto-detect the top row of round buttons on Novation Launchpads to menu functions. Previously-auto-detected menu functions would continue to work properly, and as work-around the MIDI settings could be configured manually for those MIDI controls (for example by enabling MIDI logging temporarily to determine the MIDI messages that those MIDI controls send).
That was fixed for v7.0.1, but v7.0.1 hasn't been released publicly yet, although hopefully will be soon. If you'd like a temporary build with that fix then please send a message to Francois at Support. (I think you'd need to submit a support ticket to do that, which involved being logged into your account on MDA's website:
https://www.hauptwerk.com/submit-ticket/ . Please also attach a diagnostic file to it, so that Francois can see which CPU type your computer has, and therefore which build you would need.)
If that doesn't apply, then the only relevant difference in behaviour between v6 and v7 to be aware of was the ability for per-organ MIDI assignments to override global assignments (which is enabled by default). See the "
Per-organ vs. global MIDI assignments to menu/master functions" section in the v7.0.0 changes section in the v7 release notice for details about that:
