I am involved with a Theatre Organ console with a Z-tronics relay, and fairly recently added Z-tronics capture action and MIDI interface.
The MIDI interface sees every action of the console and can record it on a Johannus MIDI+ Sequencer to SD card, and replay a performance in detail.
I am able to copy these MIDI files from the SD card to my computer and have succeeded in linking all keyboards and all stops to activate their match or closest alternative on the Paramount 320 sample set.
I am hoping for advice as to how I can get the Console Swell Pedal information to be recognised in Hauptwerk?
The messages generated are not in the more common "analog" CC message format of 0-127.
They are a stepped "digital" Controller Change Message as follows:
The messages are on MIDI Channel 9, opening Main Chamber shade 1 (of 10) is 81-1, shade 2 is 81-2, shade 3 is 81-3...shade 10 is 81-10.
Closing the Main Chamber shades is, 80-10, 80-9,...80-1
Opening the Solo Chamber shades is MIDI Channel 9 81-11, 81-12, 81-13...81-20
Closing the Solo Chamber shades is, 80-20, 80-19,...80-11
While I have successfully used these Controller Change 81(on) 80(off) to control Stops, I have not yet seen a way I can have Hauptwerk see them as valid Swell information.
Has anyone worked through this?
Are there any suggestions?
(and no, using potentiometers is not an option)
Thank you
