Thanks, Andy.
All of Hauptwerk's models are configured by settings within the relevant organ definition file. For example:
- Whether and how the wind supply model affects each pipe (magnitudes or pitch, harmonic content, and amplitude modulations in response to air flow, topology of the wind system, flow pressures, flow rates, damping, and other behaviours throughout the various parts of the wind supply).
- The magnitudes, probabilities and probability distributions of tuning randomisations.
- Magnitudes of frequency, amplitude, and harmonic content modulations, probabilities and probability distributions of flow randomisations.
- Tremulant modulations (behaviours, shapes, modulation depths, etc.).
- Swell box modulations (behaviours, shapes, modulation depths, etc.).
The user voicing controls (and similar controls on the 'Audio engine' tab of the organ preferences screen) simply allow you to amplify or attenuate the effects of such modulations on pipes, but if the models aren't configured at all within the organ definition, then the output of the models will be zero, so multiplying zero by any amount will still be zero.
Even if the voicing controls were instead to override the modulation magnitudes that the organ definition specified, it still wouldn't help (and the results would be at best zero, or at worst rubbish) because all of the other aspects of the models need to have been configured within the organ definition in order for the models to work properly (or at all).
