Sustain Pedal
The Sustain parameter allows you to determine whether each of the individual
tracks will respond to sustain controller events. The effect of all sustain
commands received from MIDI is controlled by this switch. There are two
settings for this switch:
• ON sustain events will affect all notes played within the active key range for
this track. Sustain events will be retransmitted if the Retransmit
parameter is ON.
• OFF sustain events will have no effect on the notes played on this track.
Sustain events will not be retransmitted, even with the Retransmit
parameter set to ON.
For example, it may be useful to turn off sustain events on a track set up as a bass
sound in a split keyboard configuration. This allows you to play staccato bass
lines on the lower part of the keyboard while playing chords on the upper part of
the keyboard and using the sustain pedal. The bass notes will not be affected by
the sustain pedal because the track is set to OFF, but the chords will sustain.
