When I am playing MSI from my MIDI Master keyboard, the Sustain Pedal does not work as it should and this is more noticeable with the Piano sounds. MSI is indeed receiving the Sustain Pedal (MIDI CC 64) and this shows on the MIDI activity LED, BUT in order to sustain the sound, it is necessary to first play any note (higher or lower pitched)and keep it pressed indefinitely, in other words, only NOTE-ON and never a NOTE-OFF and it is only then that the rest of the notes are sustained by the pedal.
This does not happen when I play sounds from my outboard gear or external HardWare Synths (trough DP 5), that sustain perfectly fine.
BTW, I have been using my Master keyboard controller, a Roland MKB-300 for almost 15 years, fist with Opcode Vision and now with DP Performer V.5 and I have never had a problem with it, in fact, if I play any of my outboard gear through DP, they all work as expected when I apply the sustain pedal, but for MSI playing it either as stand alone or through DP the behavior is different compared to when I play any of my external synths and samplers. It seems that I am going to need to hire someone to keep the upper most treble key pushed down through a recording session while I play the rest of the keyboard (kidding), but seriously, it is the first time I see this issue and it has me baffled.
Now, I am pretty sure that the pedal sends CC 64 and it shows when I try to apply the "MIDI learn" function within MSI,: It detects immediately the CC 64 !
I was thinking of recording just one note (with it‘s velocity set at 0), either the most upper or the lowest and have it extended all the way without having it‘s corresponding note-off, maybe that will do the trick and only then the pedal will work as it should.
I think I will have to resign myself, unless of course, any of you guys can come up with something really brilliant to solve this not so bad but nonetheless, annoying problem !
