For a very long time I had noticed an odd effect whereby an assignment of one of my illuminated stop switches to a stop or coupler on one of my organ sample sets, seemed sometimes to be retained and passed to the next successively loaded sample set.
When I installed the Caen set a little time ago, I soon noted that part of the MIDI assignments of four of the Caen Anches Combs seemed to affect the corresponding same four stop switches of subsequently loaded [but not every one] organs.
Anyone without illuminated stop switches or solenoid driven drawstops would probably never notice this occurence because it seems that the feature only has an effect on the MIDI OUT destination: thus causing the LED to light, or the solenoid to pop out, even though it serves no function. Note that if said illuminated switch or draw stop has been assigned to a stop in that newly loaded organ the fault/effect does not occur.
I believe that I have now discovered where the fault/feature/buggette seems to lie: somehow, if a stop or coupler is assigned as ON by default (which we are entitled to do, are we not?) that setting is passed to the same stop or coupler of many, but not all, organs which might be loaded subsequently in the same HW session.
Here is a setting which provokes the effect:
I will look forward to receiving any opinions.
Many thanks, and belated seasons greetings to all!
