Just like David's already replied, my keyboard lacks that input. Hell, even if it did have an input for expression pedals I think I'd prefer this on/off solution anyway, being new to keyboard instruments. Got my hands full (pun intended) just putting my fingers on the right keys. David, I had a look at TenCrazy's various plugins, but looking at the descriptions of those various plugins had me confused which one I'm supposed to get. Suspect it's the one called "CC Map", just wanted to double check with you first.

Thanks again for your elaborated replies. Unfortunately, it seems despite clear instructions I'm too thickheaded to understand. So, exactly how are the two histogram sliders supposed to be set? I have the MFX Quantizer applied to my Sampletank 4 instrument track. So, the sliders I'm supposed to be fiddling with are the ones my screenshot below shows or am I in the wrong area? If it's not too much of a hassle for you I'd be extremely grateful for a pick of how it's meant to be set! Sweet lord, I think the state of my brain just changed from solid into liquid. So, from the start of the chain am I right to assume this order: Sustain pedal (sending CC64 right) > MIDI keyboard (sending former mentioned CC64.. right?) > DAW > MIDI Mapper MFX > do some computing magic tricks turning sustain pedal (CC64 still.. right?) into something else before going into Sa- actually, I don't think I'm able to grasp any of this.

A big thanks to all of you for your replies, really appreciate it! I was suspecting with the equipment I have it would be difficult to get the sustain pedal to act like an expression pedal, in the truest sense, so thanks for clarifying that. However, you mention that my pedal probably isn't capable of producing continuous output and if 'continous output' means what I think it does, then no, it cannot. So, continous output - am I right to guess that's the kind of output type that would be found on most foot rocker pedals? If such is the case, then I fear I might've worded what I wanted to achieve inadequately (non-native English speaker) and apologize for that, if so. Not trying to insult or undermine anyone's intelligence, just wanna clarify: I actually want my sustain pedal to function as a ramping switch (with hold operation); push down - cab spins up, release - cab slows down. This intrigues me, gonna try setting that up tonight. I'll write back again if I can't make it work if that's OK? Best regards, /Ben

Hi, y'all. This is my first post here. Was humbly hoping to find some help here regarding a MIDI keyboard problem of mine. I'm not very familiar with all this as I am first and foremost a guitarist, but I'm such a bloody sucker for Hammond organs... But anyway, here's the issue: I recently bought a sustain pedal I was hoping to use both as a sustain pedal and/or expression pedal (or at least as a toggle between chorale and tremolo for the rotary cab in SampleTank 4) and it works - unfortunately simultaneously. Is there a way to "unassign", if you will, the sustain function until I want it active again? I got it working as a toggle switch by using the "MIDI Learn" function appearing as an option when rightclicking the little selector switch at the bottom of the "Rotary" effect strip, and then engaging my sustain pedal. Gear: MIDI keyboard: Evolution MK-36 1C by M-Audio Sustain pedal: Supreme SSP-2 (couldn't find any decent info about it online), but it's very simple. Connects with a 1/4" plug and has a polarity switch. Although I guess they are quite universal the two switchable modes are marked with Yamaha and Casio respectively. PC/software specs: latest version, standard free edition of Sonar if that matters, W10, Sampletank 4 free version, with the included Hammond-type organ. Most grateful for any advice or tips, so thanks in advance! /Ben
