S Mk3 sustain pedal bug

Does anybody else get this issue where the sustain pedal changes polarity randomly in the S-series Mk3 keyboards?
My S88 Mk3 constantly randomly switches Sustain pedal polarity - on a global level. It has nothing to do with the program presets. It will change while I'm on the same patch. It's quite annoying

    Hello,

    I own an S49 MK3 and don't have this issue, I have one simple switch pedal and one controller pedal and both work perfectly. What pedal do you use with what settings?

    I own an S61 MK3 and have not encountered that issue, while using my Roland DP-10 pedal in continuous mode.

    I'm using an M-Audio sustain pedal with a switch on the bottom that allows me to switch polarity. But this was happening with a Yamaha sustain pedal before I switched to the M-Audio one — because it was more of a pain to navigate with the Yamaha sustain pedal (there was no polarity switch on that pedal). Now with the M-Audio, I can just switch it on the pedal — but it is still very weird and annoying.

    What settings do you have set for tip and ring contact, cause ring and sleeve get shorted with the TS jacks those switch pedals have, it can cause issues in some cases. So set ring to something unused like cc14 maybe. Tip should be set to gate mode if I remember correctly, I can have a look at my keyboard and report my working settings.
