Does the sustain pedal work?

chapelierfou · 2014-02-01T18:24:12.000Z

Hi, i can’t get it working. But it could be a computer setup thing, since i am going thru the computer and out from my soundcard.
Anyone could confirm it works and that the problem comes from me ?

When playing your A4 with a midi keyboard, does the sustain pedal work ?

… apparently not, i’d never have guessed ! cc64 btw, irrespective of polarity

the midi command is actually mapped to a performance knob fwiw ! and this makes sense given its origins, strengths and the market demographic

wow this is bad news…
Thanks for doing the test… i guess it’s time to send elektron an e-mail.

This is a bit of an oversight for a poly synth.
Perhaps they can implement it in a future OS …

I’m using the A4 as a synth module, controlled by a Roland keyboard. Having sustain CC64 control mapped to a performance knob is causing me problems when I play, especially when using piano where sustain is used. In my tests, using sustain caused the A4 to go silent. I’m a total newbie to the A4, so if anyone has a suggestion on how to block cc64 or modify performance knob F so that sound does not cut out, please let me know.

assign nothing to performance slot F ! - clear existing assignments if any

Avontronica, Thank you so much for the tip. Still trying to grasp all the capabilities.
