The registration sequencer Registration sequencer frames are 'invisible' general combinations, and are always saved into combination files. A maximum of 512 can be recorded. The current frame number is displayed in the status bar along the bottom of the main Hauptwerk window:
When a sample set is loaded, all registration frames are empty, and changing the current frame will have no affect upon the current selected registration. You can capture the state of all virtual console switches (stops, couplers, tremulants, etc.) to the current frame by using Combinations | Re-activate current registration sequencer frame whilst in capture mode. You can advance and decrease the frame number using the Combinations | Advance/Decrement registration sequencer frame menu options. If Hauptwerk is in capture mode whilst either of the advance/decrement options is selected, Hauptwerk will capture to the next or last frame and make it current. If it is not in capture mode, it will recall the registration:
The capture mode status is also displayed in the status bar at the bottom-right of the main window:
Hence to record a sequence of registration changes for a performance, you would set the virtual switches to their positions for the beginning of the performance and enter capture mode:
... then select Combinations | Re-activate current registration sequencer frame. Remaining in capture mode, you would then make the first set of registration changes, then select Combinations | Advance registration sequencer frame, and do likewise for all subsequent changes. When all registrations were recorded, you would then leave capture mode. The 512 frames available are considered organised as eight consecutive banks of 64 frames. You can use the Combinations | Go to start of registration sequencer bank 1-8 functions to jump to the start of any of the banks. For example, if you jump to the start of the third bank, your active frame number would become ( 3 x 64 ) + 1 = 193 (plus 1 because frame numbering starts at 1). You could use one bank for each piece in a recital, for example. The registration sequencer menu functions can all be triggered by MIDI, and, together with the capture mode, are some of the most useful functions to assign to external MIDI switches for playing convenience. |
