Hauptwerk Tip - Coupling Manual | Making the most of three or more manuals

[@BrooksLehnig]

Great tutorial of this feature! I love how you are exploring these little Hauptwerk nooks and crannies.

[@jerrymartin79]

Glad you like them! I'll keep digging!

[@theojager]

Many thanks for putting your knowledge into these videos, Jerry! Regarding this coupling video I would like to mention the option to create coupled keyboards with floating manuals. The advantage of that option is: versatility, also because you can create normally non-existing combinations. With 1 button you can change which keyboards are coupled (e.g. Grand Organ to Swell), and another button will change it for the same keyboard to e.g. Positive to Swell.

Thank you very much and I am glad you found this easy to follow - thank you also very much for your tip - that's a great one! Appreciated!

[@moraynichol]

Perfectly explained. I wouldn’t have thought of doing that. Thanks Jerry.

[@jerrymartin79]

I appreciate it 😊 Thank you for dropping by

[@ClaraOrgan]

Woo-W!! Thanks for sharing useful information and knowledge today! I haven't fully understood it yet.. (English and computer operation are still difficult for me! 😥 ) But... your voice is as clear and smooth as a CNN news anchor~ You are awesome! 😍😍😍 Congratulations once again for your 1,000 subscribers 🎂🎂🎂

[@jerrymartin79]

Thank you so very much Clara! I appreciate that ☺

[@remi-chapalain]

What you can play sounds impressive with those settings ! Thank you for the tip

[@Roerfloejte8f]

Yeah, that answered my question perfectly, Jerry 💪🏻😊 I’m so thankful for your taking the effort of making an extra video to answer my question! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Will try this out this evening before exercising a Brahms prelude which challenges me for many months. Yeeaah!😊

[@Roerfloejte8f]

Works as shown in the video! Thanks a lot.

[@jerrymartin79]

My pleasure! I'm so glad it worked out well for you too! I'll be using this myself too going forward - I'm glad you asked about this!!!

[@MarkusDrejaOrganist]

Like vidas said, i love this program too! It's so well explained everything. Please go on with this Jerry. Thanks a lot

[@jerrymartin79]

Thank you so much 😊

Thanks for showing this! My church has a 2 manual Visser Rowland tracker with a third (lowest) keyboard as a permanent coupler, no levers or draw knobs for that purpose. I’ve set up all my two manual sample sets in HW with the lowest keyboard to match this, so it’s easy to go from practice to performance. Strassburg and Noordbroek are my two go-to sets for this.

[@jerrymartin79]

That's fantastic to hear. Despite being a long time hauptwerk-er, I have never played around with these possibilities before and am amazed at how useful it is! I finally have one of the 3m french sets set-up so that I can flip the G/Ch on demand via the floating divisions depending on whether I want to play continental-standard or english/american standard 😊

[@dfuhrman]

@@jerrymartin79 Yes, super useful to add a little extra kick to the sound (like your Eben demonstration) without having to turn the manual coupler on and off like crazy! I'm going to have to play around with floating divisions next, as I've never messed around with those at all, I think because the only 4+ manual set I have is Rotterdam. Between the built-in couplers/switches and having the Borstwerk mapped to the Bovenwerk, there's a lot of room for control without having to scratch my head and figure out which buttons to push! Love the new floors in your living room upgrade, too. Cheers!

[@musicarrangestudio9134]

It's a good lecture! I'm using this program, too. I don't play it myself, but there will definitely be times when I use your lecture. There's nothing bad about knowing! Thank you!

[@jerrymartin79]

I appreciate it 😊 Thank you for dropping by

[@Goodchappy]

Jerry. This is something I have actually done in the past. I've also used my third manual as a solo to play all the 8ft reed stops without the reed stops being drawn on the Great or Swell. Just have to remember they will always sound with no stops pulled out. In effect it turned my St. Anne's into a 3 manual organ

[@jerrymartin79]

Very cool! Thanks for sharing what you did with it!

[@RienSchalkwijk]

Very informative and useful Jerry. Thanks!

[@jerrymartin79]

Glad it was helpful!

[@karlosdergal]

This is so beautiful! Love it so much!

Wow this is so cool, I love the pipe organ!

@@jerrymartin79 you are welcome!

[@mitpfeiffenundsayten]

Great explanation - really very helpful. Thank you very much!

[@jerrymartin79]

Glad it was helpful!

[@OrganMusicYT]

This is similar to how I use the Solo manual on the Albee Wurlitzer. I have set it to play from my accompaniment manual as well as the organs accompaniment manual, this allows me to have the essential colour reeds on the accompaniment manual which are sadly missing in the organs new specification.

[@jerrymartin79]

Great to hear how others are using these options - thanks for that tip! 😊

[@norbertsaremba9036]

Very helpful - thx Jerry 😀

[@jerrymartin79]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Markus.K]

Great explanation! Would implement it immediately... I have only one problem: I still need a third manual 😅

[@jerrymartin79]

Thanks MarkusK 😊 Things to look forward to!

[@RalphLooij]

Thanks for another interesting insight, Jerry! I wish you were my Informatics teacher on high school, I think that would have worked ;)

[@jerrymartin79]

Haha! Thank you Ralph! Glad you found it helpful!

[@magnifyoparah2402]

Excellent Video. The meme @ 2:53 🤣🤣🤣🤣😃

[@jerrymartin79]

Thank you so much 😊 And I am REALLY glad you got a chuckle from the meme :)

[@Engineer9736]

1:55 You can just do autodetect a second time on both virtual manuals to map the lowest manual, that will accomplish the same without going into menus 😉 Nice video!

[@mauricecoates1856]

Useful to know too but Jerry and I like to know ‘how it did that’ rather than just auto fix it. Thanks for sharing the auto method though.

[@jerrymartin79]

Thanks Richard! Actually I hoped that would work (that would be intuitive), but it appears when you autodetect a *virtual* manual with a second *physicial* manual it switches the primary assignment! (The inverse is not true - you can indeed autodetect the same *virtual* manual to separate *physical manuals* -- went round in circles for a while trying to figure this out! 😆)

[@grahamtwist]

Another great tutorial and a great idea! Oh dear . . . for me . . . FOMO (two manuals alone requires other 'trickery' - thank goodness for the stepper!).

[@jerrymartin79]

Thank you so much 😊 FOMO - that's why we do what we do!!

[@SecretsofOrganPlaying]

I love this feature Jerry! It could be useful in echo situations and making general symphonic crescendos. Will you record Motto ostinato sometime too?

[@jerrymartin79]

Thank you so much 😊 And yes - I want to record it... I need more hours in the day! It's a great piece!

[@philippowell3320]

Great video? Just curious, what is the monitor setup you are using?

[@jerrymartin79]

Thank you so much 😊 These are a pair of Acer T232HL, to use on Mac I have to use a driver from touch-base.com

[@james.flores]

But y tho? 😂 Thanks for this Jerry. Another useful tip ✅

[@jerrymartin79]

Thanks James!
