Does anybody know why my sustain pedal effect doesn’t get recorded on Sequencer, yet it works fine when playing?

And where can I find that?

[GregC]

in SEQ mode

its a tab titled " Midi filter/zones"

Look for that tab and press it.

you will then see more tabs, midi filter 1, 2, 3 etc.

Get familiar with these controller/cc options since when you record, you will be using this quite a bit. The choices enable or disable the controller/cc's

I think you misunderstood me, my sustain pedal works in SEQ mode when playing and while recording. But when I’m playing back the recording, sustain effect isn’t there.

Im using a Korg DS-1H pedal, it’s connceted to the damper slot if that’s what you meant. Damper is enabled for all midi tracks in midi filter section. It doesn’t work no matter which midi track I pick, It’s the same on all of the instruments I’ve tried. Can you explain me a bit more in detail abot what CC message is?

Some of the above seems more appropriate if the sustain pedal isn't working at all, instead of just not on sequence playback as you describe.

This is the simple approach I'd take: Start in program mode, pick a piano sound, verify your sustain pedal works as you expect. Take this piano sound into a blank song in sequencer mode using the record + enter shortcut. Verify sustain still works as you expect.

Now, start recording, wait for the countdown to complete, and after recording begins, very carefully record only this:
A) press the sustain pedal down.
B) press middle C, hold for a bit, and release it after say one beat.
C) keep the sustain pedal down for say 7 more beats.
D) release the sustain pedal.
E) stop recording.

If what you describe is correct, when you play this back, the piano will release after one beat, instead of after 8 beats like we all expect. Verify this.

Now, go into the track edit event editor (as I recall you go to the track edit tab, and select event editor from the upper right corner menu; leave all boxes checked so you see all kinds of events and press OK). There may be a few events at the beginning of the track, but the last few events should be the CC for sustain pedal down, the NOTE event at the time you pressed the note (and a duration of about one beat), and 7 or 8 beats later, a CC event for sustain pedal up.

All of those should fit on one screen easily, so you could then post a picture for us to see.

OH, and it just occurred to me that Karma has swallowed filtered out sustain events for me in the past. Has Karma been off for all your attempts so far?

Okay, so:
1. I recorded what you told me to record, pressed middle C and held sustain for 7 beats, and yes, as you said, piano releases after 1 beat.
2. I went into event editor, and this is what i got:

3. No I did not use KARMA.
