I have owned an A49 for several years but never connected a sustain pedal to it. I just bought an M-Audio SP-2 and for some reason I just can't get it to work. I have tried the following:
- The sustain pedal works fine when used on other keyboards, and I have tried with the polarity switch in both positions
- With a MIDI monitor app open I get MIDI messages for portamento when I depress and release the pedal with values of 127 and 0 respectively. In Komplete Kontrol I have the CC set to 64, but it looks like it's 65
- In Ableton Live or Logic (both on MacOS Sonoma) I can use the sustain pedal on other keyboards successfully for various plugins, just not the A49
- I have followed instructions on this site to check the functioning of the A49 using Komplete Kontrol (plus a number of plugs/unplugs and reboots)
It seems that the pedal is functioning correctly and sending MIDI signals, but I can't actually get it to sustain anything.
Any ideas on what I can do next?
