Reversibles: global vs. per-organ

PostMon Jun 14, 2021 12:08 am

While setting up reversibles in a new HW organ with multiple sample sets, I believe now that we got in a hurry and didn't read the auto-detect right-click menu as carefully as we should have. Consequently, for example, when right-clicking on a coupler, we selected Auto-detect and / or Adjust "for all organs", when we should have selected Auto-detect or Adjust "for this organ". We did that in all of the sample sets. Then, after the organ had been turned off and turned back on later, the reversibles in the first sample set no longer worked.

I'm guessing that we need to somehow clear every last such reversible in each of the sample sets, and then start all over, this time being careful to select "for this organ".

If that's the case, is there a relatively fast way to select and clear all the affected reversibles in each sample set, or is it necessary to right-click on, for example, each 8' coupler in turn in the touchscreen graphics one at a time?

You should only set a piston to operate a HW master piston for either all organs or for a specific organ. If you auto detect a piston for both, the piston will behave incorrectly.

If you wish to change to use the global assignment for existing configured organs, you need to change each piston for every organ manually. HW does not have a way of listing the midi assignments.

(In essence, the global assignment is added to the per organ assignment; if both global and per organ assignments are set, pressing the piston tiggers both, one after another.)

Hello psallo,

To add to Iain's reply, if you want them to be assigned per-organ, not globally ('for all organs') then it's relatively straightforward, since global assignments would only need to be cleared once (not separately for each organ, given that global assignments are global).

You could:

1. Load any organ (it doesn't matter which).

2. Right-click on each of the master reversibles on the control panel in turn and select 'Clear all MIDI ...'. That will clear *both* the global assignment ('for all organs', which is what you want) for the reversible and the per-organ assignment ('for this organ') for that particular organ (which you don't really want to clear but is easily resolved by the next step).

3. Then use right-click auto-detection on the relevant the reversibles again, making sure you use the 'for this organ' entry.

There would be no need to do step 2 again for any other organ, since the global assignments would by then have been cleared. However, if you might not have auto-detected the reversibles for other organs on a per-organ basis, then you would potentially still need to auto-detect them as such. (There is no way to copy global MIDI assignments to per-organ assignments automatically).

An alternative quick way to clear global assignments would be to go to the 'General settings | MIDI/key triggers for master pistons ... (for all organs)' screen, highlight all of the reversibles simultaneously in the left-hand item list, and change the 'Input' setting on the 'Primary input' tab to 'none', and do likewise for the 'Output' setting on the 'Primary output' tab, then OK the screen. That would achieve the same step 2 above, except that it would only clear the global assignments (without also clearing per-organ assignments for any organ that you currently had loaded).
Best regards, Martin.
