Intermittent Sustain Pedal Problem

Hi Everyone,

I'm using an M-Audio SP2 sustain pedal with my Korg Kross 61 (purchased in 2016). The pedal has no obvious defects and has not been damaged. When I'm doing a 3- or 4-hour gig, however, the pedal will intermittently stop functioning. I have to unplug the pedal then plug it back in to get it working again. I've read in other Korg forums that people were also experiencing this problem with other pedals. I'm trying to figure out if the problem is with the pedal or the keyboard but because it happens so infrequently it's difficult to troubleshoot. Has anyone else had this problem? How did you fix it?

Thanks!

I'm experiencing a similar problem with mine. Not sure if it's because I'm using the damper port but occasionally it just doesn't react on tapping on the footswitch. Only after a second time it does.

Hello Everyone, just an update here. I've been using the "Korg PS-3 Momentary Footswitch/Sustain Pedal" for about a month now and have not experienced any problems. I think maybe the M-Audio SP2 pedal I had was defective.
