Expression pedals with piano emulations…?

Sivante

I’ve got Komplete, a with all the various piano packs (Alicia Keys, Maverick, Grand, etc)…

the keyboard I’m using is a Korg Prologue…

wondering: if I were to get an expression pedal and plug into the Korg, would this automatically route to being the sustain pedal for those piano vsts?

if not, how exactly would I go about setting it up to?

thanks!

If you want to trigger sustain, then just get a regular sustain pedal. Like this…

https://www.amazon.com/M-Audio-SP-2-Universal-Electronic-Keyboards/dp/B00063678K/ref%3Dmp_s_a_1_3?crid=WKB2KZZUAMXF&keywords=sustain+pedal+for+keyboard&qid=1659796139&sprefix=sustain+pedal%2Caps%2C90&sr=8-3

then just plug that into the pedal Jack of your KB and you should be all set. The libraries you mention are all enabled to accept sustain midi cc (#64).

Expression pedals are continuous controllers that act like volume pedals which are not suited for sustain (On/Off)…Hope that helps!!!
