using a sustain pedal with audio clips playback?

Hello Learned Ones

Simple question: I have many audio clips mapped to the keys of an external MIDI controller. I plugged in a sustain pedal which works great with my synths and Kontakt. The pedal puts out cc # 64 0 - 127 as necessary (checked with MIDI monitor program) yet it has no effect on playing back my clips... I want to press a note which then plays back a clip; then press the sustain pedal so I can add several more clips and have free hands to diddle my controller knobs. No jokes pls. Then release the pedal and end the sustain for all held notes. I have the clips launching as "gates." Searched the manual, searched this site, but it must be too dim-witted to be talked about.

Please advise! Thanks,

John
