I use an empty controller (90) for control changes with Hauptwerk VST. Is it possible to have the controller automatically reset to 0 (zero) between flows?
Currently working on a large multi-flow choral piece with organ accompaniment. The control changes are used to change organ registrations using Hauptwerk’s general pistons.
Unfortunately, when starting a new flow and a control change at the very start of bar 1 in the key editor, the change is at the time play begins but the previous registration plays for about a half second after start of play because, apparently, the automation is a bit slower than immediate. This results in an fz effect that isn’t terribly pleasant if the previous flow was on a louder registration.
It would be helpful to be able to send a CC0 slightly before play begins. Thoughts?
You can use the init section of the expression map. But it sounds like you want something automatic between flows while playback is uninterrupted. If so, you might need a custum ‘reset’ play(ing|back) technique that emits CC0.
So I am very inexperienced with expression maps and what’s what in Init and other aspects of such. Is this a correct example of what you were alluding to?
Is there detailed instructions (as in a manual) for the syntax and order of things used in Expression Map Data switches and the like? I find nothing in the manual about the details…
Yes, you’d click the “cc” bottom left and a new row will appear. Then change first value to 0 and 2nd value to, well, I don’t know – whatever value resets the VST to some default state.
