Sustain pedal for TR

Post by Jompa »

Hi,

Just recently got myself a TR88 and even more recently got a pedal for it. I, being a piano player, want to use this as a sustain pedal, i.e as the pedal for a piano.. I have however not managed to use the pedal for this purpose.. I find it very strange that this function would not exist so this is probably a stupid question, but anyway. Can anyone help me with instructions for how to make my pedal work as a sustain pedal?

Thanks in advance.

ps. i was looking for a "questions-thread" but couldn't find one, sorry if this is not how you usually go about asking questions in the forum..

You'll probably get a better response if you post in the right board/category. You want Korg Triton LE / Korg TR - Discussion relating to the Korg Triton LE and Korg TR

but anyway, the answer to your question is:

Use the 'Damper' socket. A sustain pedal is commonly called a damper pedal because on a piano it disengages the dampers from the keys :wink:

Oh, i just saw the undertext "the Korg Trinity and TR rack." and assumed this was the right subforum :oops: I'm not very familiar with the selection from Korg, as you might guess....

Your suggestion worked perfectly. I never thought about that socket being there, and didn't know that the pedals were called damper pedals either :)

Thanks a lot! playing has been awfully limited without the damper pedal, up until now :)
