Sub 37 Sustain Pedal

Post by viqbang » Wed Jul 01, 2015 4:03 pm

Part of the new firmware that had me intrigued was the mapping of the Gate to Sustain Pedal mode.

I've been playing it in "default" mode (wherein a pedal press opens the envelope and sounds a note) and just being cautious about when I depress the pedal when doing pad work.

With sustain pedal mode...nothing seems to happen. I've changed the CV Mapping in the Global Menu, played with the Gate Invert (and the switch on the pedal itself) and there is simnply no effect to the sound. Am I missing something obvious?

Since you have a key down the gate is open anyway. Try pressing the pedal and letting up on the key; the note should remain on. Or am I misunderstanding?

No you aren't misunderstanding...it just isn't doing that. :)

With a MAudio SP2 plugged into the KB Gate, the Gate set to SUST PED in the CV Mapping and using an Init Preset.

press a key, depress pedal, release key, sound ends.
change pedal polarity, same behaviour.
change Gate Invert in CV Mapping, same behaviour.

(and fwiw, Per Preset is set to off).

Now, if I have GATE set to 'Default'.

Depress a key - there is sound
Depress pedal - sound continues until pedal is released.

However on something like Bank 2, Preset 11 (Stryngth). Unless I press the key and the pedal simultaneously...the gate reopens and sounds again.

In short...I can't make the 1.1 KB GATE setting in my global mapping actually do anything.

Hello
I had exactly the same problem.
I even bought a new pedal with reverse pol just to see if it made a difference.
In the end I gave up.

Mine worked with a pedal which would trigger amp env 'latch' (sustain). But it stopped working! Can't recall if that was after the 1.1 FW update that it stopped or just random.
