Hi everyone,

last week I bought the DS-1H damper pedal from Korg. As specified on the Korg website the DS-1H is intended to support half-damper characteristics ... not only "on" and "off". Well, the pedal seems to work so far. However, I just wonder if my pedal is defective because the pedal reacts rather late. Let me explain: If the distance between "pedal released" and "pedal pressed" is 100%, then the values between 0 and 127 are generated by the pedal only on the last maybe 20% of the whole pedal distance. So, it's nearly impossible to use the damper for other effects like filter sweeps or wah's.

What about your damper pedals? Are they behaving the same way?

Regards,
Stephan

Hi again,

just another question concerning the damper pedal. I've noticed that everytime I switch on my Triton Extreme, the damper is not working anymore. So, I have to calibrate the damper pedal in the Global mode every single time my Triton is switched on again. I already tried to save the global settings but that does not solve the problem.

Is this the expected behaviour??

Regard,
Stephan

Yes, i have the same one and NO, you cant do sweeps with it, that pedal
works just as a regular ON/OFF button, nothing else, thats why its called
DUMPER PEDAL and thats the onlything it can be used for, and yes it can
be used as ASSIGNABLE PEDAL for ON/OFF functions, START/STOPS,
drastic changes of FX or FILTERS or whatever, but nothing SWEEPING.

Hi Nedim,

thanks for the reply! Just another question: Do you have to recalibrate your damper pedal each time you switch you Triton one?

Thanks,
Stephan

Nope.

Okay ... seems like I have to contact Korg support Sad

Wouldn't it be easier to try another pedal, maybe that one is screwed up if you have to calibrate it each time you turn Triton on?

It might not be axactly the same problem, but I also have issues with my Korg pedal on the Oasys: I noticed that when depressed, the pedal sends a 64 controller at 127, wich is normal. But whn released, the value sent is not 0, but something between 30-40, which makes some plugins to freak out (Ivory for instance)

Have you exprerienced something like that ??

Thanks !!
