Problem with damper polarity on midi-keyboard to Triton Le

[CJ4ever]

Hi all,

I am not sure it is really a Triton Le problem, I guess it is more a midi-keyboard problem.

I use the Evolution MK-361 as a 2nd keyboard, to control sounds of Triton Le.

Okay, I put also a sustain/damper pedal into the midi-keybaord. Let's say for example I play on the lower board (the Le) piano patch and on the upper midi-keyboard I play strings (of the Le, controlled by etc.) .

Problem: when I play strings WITHOUT even touching the pedal it keeps holding/sustaining, but when I press the pedal THEN the sustain stops. So it is like this: when I keep pressing the pedal there is no sustain (okay) but when I release it THEN the sustain starts. It's like worlds turned upside down

I guess this is not a ' Triton Le vs damper polarity' issue, I think the problem is more the midi-keyboard vs damper. I read the manual of the Evolution keyboard for maybe damper settings also, but did not help. Also no switch on the pedals itself. I have three pedals, all tried them but same result.

Please please please can anyone help me..........hope I described the problem clearly

Thanks in advance

I know there is a guide on the internet on how to reverse your pedal polarity, what i would do is make the polarity agree with your midi keyboard, then make the LE accomodate in the global menu (wich im sure you know how to do)
M-audio makes a pedal with a reversible polarity.
However, i have a 60 dollar midi keyboard, and even that can change its polarity, so im sure these is a way
common tricks are
holding down the pedal while turning the midi keyboard on
and sometimes these controllers have a 'function' or 'advanced' button, and those will change stuff, best to look int he manual (pros to you since you have already!) and see if theres anything but im sure there is a way!

The problem as you describe it happens the same way every time, no? I think you just need to make your controller and TR (and any other gear) agree on polarity.

If they don't, then one keyboard or the other will be sustaining while the other cuts off.

BTW - Switchable polarity is a feature on most clamshell type sustain pedals now. M-audio's with its metal case is one of the better ones and still very reasonable @ around $20.
