Any way to turn sustain on without a pedal?
Anyone know?
Re: Any way to turn sustain on without a pedal?
Yes: you draw it into individual midi clips as a clip envelope; it occurs on a per-clip basis so you'll have to do it for every clip that you want it activated for. Go to the Clip Envelopes box, select "MIDI Ctrl" in the upper white box, then select "64 - Hold Pedal" in the lower box. Now increase the value of the envelope depicted to the right in the envelope field to 100% (just drag it all the way up). Now that clip will have activated the sustain/hold midi message.

Thanks man works like a charm. I'm gonna have to buy a pedal though eventually.mholloway wrote:Yes: you draw it into individual midi clips as a clip envelope; it occurs on a per-clip basis so you'll have to do it for every clip that you want it activated for.

Complication regarding have a sustain pedal with a midi controller
FYI to everyone you cannot use a sustain pedal with MPE turned on in the midi preferences! Turn off MPE and it will work! Hope this helps, cheers
Re: Complication regarding have a sustain pedal with a midi controller
Mmmh, this doesn't sound right. MPE doesn't prevent the sustain pedal from working; but PolyPressure and Slide aren't "sustained".
If you're seeing something different then something's not working as expected.

Incorrect. Sustain pedal plugged into my push2 & works fine with MPE on and using my Sensel Morph
