Re: Pedal note intermittent

Perhaps you could just try swapping in a different magnet? If only to rule out the magnet itself as the problem.
What elements are you talking about swapping? the reed switches are soldered, and don't have any experience with that.

Re: Pedal note intermittent

I’ve been wondering if you could swap elements from, say, the top G pedal for testing, or even permanently if you don’t use that pedal much… I didn't, but after your post I did play around with it and got it to where it was working like the others, it would sound at same breaking point. The problem i ...

Re: Pedal note intermittent

My recollection is that the descending pedal passes a magnet, the position of which is adjustable. Having you tried moving the magnet a wee bit in one direction or another? So I went to the troubleshooting guide for the pedal board. It says if one or more of the keys do not produce a MIDI sound and ...

Re: Switching between speakers and headphones

My solution is similar. My audio interface (which speakers and headphones are plugged into) has separate volume controls for each. To use headphones, I just lower volume for speskers. This does require the audio interface to be accessible from the bench.

Better than that, it’s guaranteed . . .
But isn’t that just during the warranty period (two years for my new iLok 3)? What happens after that ends?

Re: Free upgrade for new customer ?

Having upgraded to v4 Advanced essentially 90 days before "V" was announced (120+ days before availability) I was hoping for a free upgrade or at least a special discount - and even thought I saw a hint of this coming in a message written at one point by one of the beta testers or sample set ...

My v5 upgrade steps

Today I performed my upgrade from v4 (advanced) to v5; all went very smoothly. And I must say, v5 sounds grrrrreat! Many thanks to the MDA team! Seeing that some folks have missed a step here or there, I thought I'd post the upgrade steps which I derived from the user manual and from various key ...

Upgrade steps order

Martin's advice for upgrading has this sequence of steps: 4. Run the Hauptwerk v5+ installer to perform a clean installation of Hauptwerk... 5. ... use 'File | Restore ...' in Hauptwerk v5+ to get your previous Hauptwerk settings/combinations/voicing back 6. Use 'File | Install ...' in Hauptwerk v5 ...

Re: No buy button in webshop for upgrade HW4 to HW5

But what does it mean for an order to be "processing" (Dashboard/Orders) an hour later?? Shouldn't a license show up (unactivated) in my iLok license manager? Some orders are getting hung up with a Paypal issue. I am checking your account now to get this resolved. Thank you! Michelle Since I was ...

Re: No buy button in webshop for upgrade HW4 to HW5

Of course, when you're done there seems to be no information as to what's next! That's easy too. After the payment is accepted you are routed to a checkout completion page that shows the activation code. You also get an e-mail with the same information. Start HW and click on the option to activate ...

Re: No buy button in webshop for upgrade HW4 to HW5

It's working again now. I just completed the purchase. You need the Promo code that was sent in the e-mail to apply the discount, then it asks for your iLok ID, which it then verifies. All very straightforward. Of course, when you're done there seems to be no information as to what's next! A future ...
