v4.2 [May 22, 2015]
May include unspecified updates, enhancements, or bug fixes.
v4.1 [Sep 29, 2014]
Hauptwerk USB key drivers and evaluation/Free Edition 90 day license key:
- The drivers for the Hauptwerk USB key are no longer installed or updated automatically by Hauptwerk’s installer and are no longer
required for using Hauptwerk in evaluation/Free Edition modes. To use Hauptwerk in licensed mode, please ensure that you download and
install the latest drivers for the Hauptwerk USB key from the main downloads page on the Hauptwerk website: www.hauptwerk.com
- Hauptwerk version 4.1.0 required a 90-day evaluation/Free Edition license key to be installed and refreshed each 90 days, in order
for Hauptwerk to be able to launch without a Hauptwerk USB key attached. That is no longer necessary for version 4.1.1 onwards, which
can launch indefinitely, with no need to install or renew any keys.
- This version fixes various important compatibility and stability issues relating to the USB key and its drivers from version 4.1.0.
Other improvements:
- Using the combination stepper /- frame functions no longer affects the cued frame (but the 000 function does still reset the cued
frame to 00x).
- Combination set and recording 'save as' windows now have the initial (=default/last) filename text highlighted, so that it can be
over-typed immediately, with no additional key-presses.
- Hauptwerk never now defaults Hauptwerk VST/AU Link MIDI ports to enabled, to avoid any potential for compatibility issues.
- LCD panel MIDI output messages are now logged in a human-readable form when MIDI logging is enabled.
- More detailed information logged for the virtual controls events trigger, and for MIDI events received via MIDI player/sequencer,
when MIDI logging enabled.
Bug-fixes:
- An organ could fail to load (unload or crash) if particular functions had previously been assigned manually to piston toolbars in v4.0.0.
- Licensing errors could be given incorrectly with a few sample sets (such as the IA Kolozsvar).
- Hauptwerk could hang when loading sample sets with exceptionally short release samples(such as the Prospectum St. Johannes).
- The menu function switch settings screen could give error code 0814 if a switch had been configured for automatic MIDI output in an earlier Hauptwerk version.
- There was a slight chance that other open applications could possibly lose data if the computer was shutdown from Hauptwerk on Windows (since v2).
- Uni-directional organ continuous control stage switches could fail to trigger (pizzicato stops/couplers with MDA MW-331 theatre organ).
- Master reversibles didn't always capture properly if they already had registrations stored to them.
- The organ continuous control percentage LCD line format was incorrectly showing values in range 0-127.
- Specified prefix text was also truncated more than necessary.
- Non-ANSI characters in recording filenames weren't working properly on Mac OS X (only since v4.1.0).
- The combination stepper frame sequence ( /-) was incorrect if the number of stepper trigger pistons was set to less than 10.
- If launching without a valid license, the options selected on the edition selection screen might not take effect until the subsequent launch.
- The first high-resolution controllers in a MIDI file could be processed twice, causing the St. Anne's FF piston to stick on indefinitely. (It has now been fixed to behave as v4.0.0 did, whereby the FF piston can be turned off by pressing it once, or twice, if it wasn't turned off again within the MIDI file.)
- The X-Keys sendScanCode() scripting function was working with Hauptwerk v4.0.0 but not with v4.1.0.
- The user guide incorrectly referred to 'scoped' instead of reversible pistons on v4.1.0 page 108.
