Andy, I am very curious how your utility manages to apply the same de-tuning parameters to multiple perspectives of the same rank; for example, to the Chancel, Nave, and Surround perspectives of an 8' Principal. That is, if the user selects the "Natural" de-tuning pattern when running the utility. The different sample set makers do not necessarily refer to the multiple perspectives using the same terms. What one calls "Chancel" another one calls "Close." How on earth did you manage to sort out these different terms and enable the utility to collate all the various perspectives (where they exist) of each rank? This seems to me a very significant accomplishment and one that the native de-tuning function in Hauptwerk cannot as of yet duplicate. I know you prefer the added chorus effect of de-tuning the different perspectives differently, but many users do not share that preference (myself included). So we are delighted to be able to keep different perspectives in tune with each other.
I suspect this is one of the reasons you recommend setting Hauptwerk's built-in randomized de-tuning to zero. Otherwise, it will put the different perspectives out of tune with each other. I imagine it will also affect the de-tuning results of your utility in unpredictable ways. So there would seem to be no advantage to allow it to operate. One could also disable the wind modeling and randomizations associated with it, but as Martin has made clear in this thread, the wind modeling really has little effect on the tuning.
