If you examine carefully the pictures of the two products I linked above, you will notice that M-Audio pedal has a connector that is 1/4" TS (two conductor), while the Yamaha is 1/4" TRS (three conductor)-the continuous sustain requires an extra electrical contact, and this requires that your keyboard hardware be compatible.Īs luck would have it, I have an M-Audio keyboard sitting next to me as well, and while I can't be sure if it's the same as yours, it is a basic model and the only jack it has in the rear is labeled "Sustain".
The one I have at my feet is the Yamaha FC-3, and it did cost extra when I purchased my digital piano. Of course, MIDI keyboard manufacturers have been questing after the perfect acoustic facsimile forever, so it is possible to buy sustain pedals that are continuous from 0% to 100% (MIDI typically sees this as 0-127)-these are typically more expensive and require that you purchase them separately. For example, the M-Audio SP-2 is a basic keyboard-style sustain pedal that is on-off only. If the pedal in question came standard with your keyboard, there's a good chance it's binary only. Specifically, the model number of your keyboard and pedal, or if you don't have the model number of the pedal, a picture of the pedal including the plug would suffice (you might be able to find it online).īasically, most MIDI keyboard sustain pedals are binary ONLY-the pedal can only communicate on or off to the keyboard nothing in-between. It may not be possible with your setup-we'd need to know some more information about what equipment you are using.
