Sustain pedal affecting first controller knob instead?

Maybe you need to play around woth the MIDI settings.

Either that, or just use in-DAW automation instead.

It has more freedom, power and creativity.

What MIDI settings should I play around with? I'm just using all of the default and didn't do anything to controller assignments, this just started happening after I upgraded to 3.0.3.

And in-DAW automation is not an answer for the sustain pedal on a piano when playing piano.

You can use automation for sustain as well.

I have it on my Cakewalk.

Just be more experimental with automation.

If you mess up something, just click on the Undo on the project.

Yes I know how to do that, but that's not a natural way to play piano.

Okay I figured out what's causing it, for some reason the first knob is getting set to CC 64:

What I can't figure out is how to stop this from being the default.

With that, I don't know.

I tried my best.

@fluffy If you're using a MK1 keyboard, using Komplete Kontrol 3.0.3 might bring some issues, since the keyboard is no longer supported. We recommend to use 2.9.6: Komplete Kontrol 2.9.6 - Last VST2 supported version

Not 100% sure if it's related to your issue though, so a few things to check:

If you open Komplete Kontrol in standalone, do you have the same issue?

If you click on that x here, it should remove the MIDI assignment. If you do that, does it come back the next time you open the Komplete Kontrol standalone application?

Also make sure that in Controller Editor, there's no other assignment for CC 64 on the knobs.

It happens even when I'm using controllers other than my Komplete Kontrol S88 (which is an mk1 but which I am in the process of selling and is no longer connected to my computer).

And yes I figured out that I could remove the controller mapping, but the problem is that it keeps coming back as the default mapping even on a brand-new project. It also occurs in the standalone Komplete Kontrol app, and does not go away.

@fluffy What other controllers are you using?

Casio Privia PX-S1100, Akai MPK47

It does seem like some bad configuration happened but I’m not sure how to fix/reset it.

If you clear the CC64 MIDI assignment then disconnect these controllers, does the assignment come back?

The assignment comes back every time I create a new instance of the Komplete Kontrol plugin, regardless of which controllers are plugged in at the time.
