The Sustain Pedal does not work on the PA3X - amiright??????

Post by hellboy44 »

So I've gone thru 3 Pedals - that all work on other PA boards (PA 2x and PA 800) NONE of those Pedals work on my PA 3X for any real length of time.
I have:

1. Calibrated the Pedal.
2. Changed pedals and not pressed the pedal while changing tones
3. Rebooted the Keyboard

The only thing I haven't done is use an actual DS1H Pedal - which is the reccomended pedal - it's currently unavailable to me.

So: Does anyone else have this oroblem with their '3, and do I absolutely HAVE to use the DS1H to be able to play?

IS THIS AN OS FLAW...? (I'm using OS 1.11)

I'm going NUTS here - anyone help with ANY info or suggestions at all??
Just pretend I've written something funny, yet wise and ironic here...

That was odd! Mine stopped working, and I thought it may be because it was an old pedal... So what is this all about?

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!

(it's NOT my imagination :D)

I'm testing as we speak......


I even thought it was certain Midi Files triggering the Sustain Pedal to go inactive (yeah, I don't know how either) but it's not so far.....

Oh , and Roni, are you using a "Generic" Pedal, or specifically the DS1H as recommended....????

I am using an ordinary damper pedal. After calibration works perfectly. The pedal has just a simple switch inside.

Same here....
No issues at all.

My friends have EC5 routed to Damper, no problems there either.

Ok so gigging yesterday (Wednesday) and all was ok.

I will keep you guys posted though, because it WAS a BIG issue for me I can tell you.

Certainly, with certain instruments (an Organ sound or two) the Pedal suddenly stops working... Maybe it's a half damper issue????

if using performances, make sure the damper is actually turned on, as some have it turned off by default
