Sustain pedal in MIDI controller not working properly

Post by FancyGoose »

Happy saturday to all of you!

I'm trying to use a sustain pedal plugged in the back of my Novation Launchkey 49 MK2 controller, for use in Mixcraft 8.1 Pro.

In the Pianissimo VSTi, it appears to be acting as a damper pedal rather than a sustain pedal?!

Any tips on setting this up properly as a sustain pedal would be appreciated. I have tried doing things with MIDI learn and going in the MIDI Control Surface settings panel in Mixcraft 8.1 but couldn't fix the problem.

Thanks a lot friends!

Hi,

It's working correctly for me. Is the problem that the polarity is reversed? Does your pedal have a swtich on it?

Right, it works! Thanks Greg... I didn't even notice that switch on the pedal :( Oops!

Take care.
