HW 7


HW just sent me an offer to upgrade from 6 to 7 for $99. The website states "Please see the Hauptwerk 7 Release Notice for a full list of all new features and enhancement and bug fixes." As usual I can't find any list of new features etc. Could someone who worked on the beta version share what they think are the most important updates in this release?

Thanks Marco, I'm not seeing anything listing the updates, just installation steps. Probably they are minor items or they would have made a big announcement.

And I saw upgrade from HW4 to HW 7 is as expensive as HW5 to HW7

I tried to copy the link to a pdf document with the Release Notice, but it doesn’t work.

Better: go to Hauptwerk.com and select (menu) Support -> Documentation -> Release Notice

Regards,

RE: HW 7


The Release Notes were right in front of my eyes the first time I looked but I didn't see them. HW is so rich in detailed features, I don't have any need for most of it but I do love the authentic sound. Worth the upgrade if only to keep current.

Thanks for your help Marco

RE: HW 7


I use a touch screen and I'm constantly clicking on the wrong menu item since all the menus are meant for use with a mouse. It says that it now has a proper touch screen interface. If that pans it out it will be worth the $99 to me.

RE: HW 7


OK now after installing HW7 I'm sold! Working great and I've tried to overload my cpu, etc, but everything works with no indication of stress in the audio, or PC. The 96k is even better than it was in version 6 (there had been a few slight pops after playing for a few minutes but they are gone in 7). The organs do load very slowly the first time but much more quickly after that. If you haven't updated Ilok recently, do that before upgrade to HW7 or it will tell you the key is no good. (not so, just need to do the update and then follow the HW instructions.)
