My sustain pedal is not working for Kontakt

I use Kontakt 7 as a plug-in for mainstage. when I load up a library, the piano is sustained the whole time. I tried to look for the problem but I couldn't seem to find the solution for it. My MIDI keyboard is an Arturia keylab essential and my sustain pedal is proline universal with a polarity switch.

    Is it with all pianos in kontakt or a specific one. Have you tried to automate the sustain pedal and does it then behave differently or is it sustained all the time no matter if you press the pedal or not.

    Can you make a picture what the midi monitor shows if you press and depress the pedal?

    If you move the pedal up and down, does the 5 pin plug sign, left from midi ch. blinks? it should with every incoming midi signal.

    How is the pedal behaving in Kontakt in standalone?

    I see this on your screenshot:

    Is there another assignment on CC64? CC64 is the MIDI CC for sustain, there shouldn't be a need for further assignment. Have you tried to delete this MIDI assignment?
