Thanks very much Martin. All the best in 2025.

There's no native way to export the current states of all stops/switches to a text file, I'm afraid. You could conceivably configure all of the virtual switches individually to output MIDI on/off messages (e.g. NRPNs) and write an external application to receive them all and keep track of the ...

Thanks for the quick answer, Martin. Too bad, I was hoping this idea could work. I did see the "List/View combinations..." option and already tried a few things with it. The problem there is that the user has to uncheck lots of options in a dialog, and even then the output is too much information ...

The menu item "Copy registration to clipboard" appears to be placing RAW data on the clipboard (the clipboard probe shows the string "The app cannot read the current registrations from Hauptwerk"). I'm working on an app which needs to read this data. Can you please tell me what the RAW Identifier ...

Thanks, those steps work. I'm just looking for master general buttons.

Now I've got the buttons, but MIDI detect isn't working. Obviously, this is a different problem. I'll see if I can sort it out.

Thanks Martin, I had tried all the options under "View / piston toolbars (for this organ)" and none of them are what I expect to see. On the first option there sre indeed "set" and "gen cancel" buttons, but the rest of the buttons are all something else which I don't need, and there is no set of 1 2 ...

I had HW4 working fine with buttons onscreen in a sidebar numbered 1-10, a "set" button and "cancel" button (basically what one expects to find on an organ). After upgrading to HW7, this sidear disappeared, and I've never been able to get it back. Navigating the HW menus is a nightmare. There are ...

UPDATE: After playing this keyboard for while, I've determined that the action is slightly more stiff than the Yamaha NP-series, especially noticeable on the sharp/flat keys. The stiffness of the action is determined by the silicon plungers, so it can't be changed.

The feel of the Nektar SE61 key action is actually pretty comparable to the Yamaha NP-11/31 or NP12/32, light and solid-feeling, but not quite as good. Considering that the Nektar keyboard costs less than 1/3 those Yamaha keyboards, and is accordingly much more cheaply made, it's surprisingly good ...

In case anyone is interested — I just posted this video showing how I converted a Nektar SE61 into an F-to-F controller to use with my Hauptwerk harpsichord from Sonus Paradisi (the Mietke instrument). https://youtu.be/M4CtmSF_u6M The first part of the video shows you how to rearrange the keys from C ...

In the mean time, there has been an iLok Manager update, and another macOS update, and so far the problem has gone away.

Fortunately, I have not faced this kind of annoying problem, but I know that on a Mac, many "upgrades" will just fail if you do not run a clean install... I've used Apple computers since the early 90's, and these claims and conjectures sound like nonsense to me. My Mac Studio was new in October '22 ...

It's still happening about every other day. François, thanks and that may be true about the IP, but I doubt that's the cause. The problem never appeared before the macOS update. My guess is that the update changed something about process boot order during startup, but what do I know. Thanks Martin ...

Yes, as I had confirmed already above, my iLok Manager is up to date (the version is 5.7.0) As I mentioned, I have no other software that uses the iLok Cloud, so I can't say if this problem only to do with Hauptwerk, but I do have other iLok licenses (none which require a dongle) and none of them ...

Hi Martin, Yes, the problem is that the iLok cloud session randomly *doesn't open* when the system starts up. When I manually go into the manager and open the cloud session, then it works. I never had to do this before the MacOS update. I have no iLok dongle, and I use only one machine. Here's ...
