Now it is time to do your homework
1. Go to the Hauptwerk User Manual (to be found under the Support tab)
and print out most of the pages (unless you enjoy reading many pages on a
computer screen, which I hate.) Consider putting these pages in a loose leaf binder for
easier reference. You can come back to these later if you need to. You may not
understand a lot of this. For me, it was like learning a foreign language, but you
will be able to understand enough to find out the capabilities of this astounding
program; and you will know where to turn when you have questions.
2. Go to www.midworks.ca Look at the different keyboard configurations
and at the piston layout on the Classic Keyboards. You can choose wooden or
plastic keyboards. You can choose no pistons, square (CMK) pistons, or round
(CMK Pro) pistons. The square ones are less expensive, but they do make a slight
sound when you press them – like the sound that buttons make on the typical
midi keyboard. The round (CMK Pro) pistons are completely silent. You say,
‘what will I ever do with all of those pistons?’ Welcome to the world of midi,
where any one of these pistons can be a general, divisional, reversible, a stop, or
even a menu command.
