The question is, which is a good sustain pedal that will not give me problems like this, something that I can just connect and play. I will use this pedal primarily for my Korg Extreme.
Thanks in advance.

Appropriate sustain pedal for Extreme
Hey guys. I have a question regarding sustain pedals. I have a pedal that has given me a lot of trouble. I haven't been able to make it work. I have the Studiologic VFP 1/25 and sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. It will sustain notes randomly while connected. I have tried switching the polarity in the GLOBAL menu, but that doesn't make a different, it won't work. I am thinking that is not the right pedal for this Keyboard. I used to use that pedal for other Korg a long time ago and it worked fine. Now the pedal doesn't work with my Korg M1 either, so I am assuming is the pedal.
The question is, which is a good sustain pedal that will not give me problems like this, something that I can just connect and play. I will use this pedal primarily for my Korg Extreme.
Thanks in advance.

I have the same issue. Tried 3 different pedals. Did you ever resolve it?
My story
I just bought an 88 key Korg Triton Extreme (first operating system--I don't think ever been upgraded). It also did NOT include a sustain pedal, so I purchased an M-AUDIO SP2 universal sustain pedal from Amazon, but when that wasn't working, I bought a universal sustain pedal universal 'Soraco' brand (includes Korg compatibility per Amazon. My third attempt was to actually go KORG, and bought a DS1H. But the problem still exists.
The Issue:
during play, it intermittently stops working.
To reconnect pedal:
Sometimes, I have to step on the pedal before plugging in.
Sometimes, I have to turn off/on with my foot on the pedal
eventually, after a combination of attempts mentioned above, it starts working again.
And on a rare occasion, it will kick in and start working again, mid playing)
Please help

The unit may very well have a bad or cold solder joint where 5he sustain pedal is located. Its a simple repair. A techcian can easily do it for you. Just wiggle the pedal input and see if that clears the hanging notes.

I Use a Roland DP-8
Hi,
I am successfully using a Roland sustain pedal for years with my Triton extreme 61.
This pedal is a Roland DP-8. I think the DP-10 should fit the job too (but not tested personally).
Additional info : For the Pedal Switch, I am using a Korg PS-1.
Hope this helps !

The KORG DS-1H works with all KORG keyboards

If this pedal does not work, the problem is not with the pedal.
