I've seen similar questions asked and I've tried their solutions, but nothing is working or I'm doing it wrong.
I have an Alesis v49 midi controller hooked up to the latest cakewalk. The controller plays no problem through the default Cakewalk virtual piano.. I have a standard Proline sustain pedal plugged into the 'sustain' port on the back. It isn't doing anything at all. Might as well not be there.
*The pedal works on my regular keyboard
*I disabled the "shift" thing in the keyboard shortcuts
Not sure what else to do. I'm very new to DAWs, please overexplain. I find the Edit>Preferences>Midi style format very helpful. Thank you
