DO NOT confuse this with programs that are *supposed* to have noise,
such as A49, A82, & E33. These use an effect to simulate the crackling of
a vinyl record. See elsewhere in this FAQ for more info.
9. When I plug any of my standard sustain pedals in, nothing
happens.
Are you plugging it into the jack labeled “Damper”, and not “Foot
Switch”? Any standard momentary type foot switch will work. The only
thing is that some foot switches have the polarity reversed. If you get
sustain when you let off, and no sustain when you press down, it’s
backwards. You can switch this in:
(6.1-1) Global -[Menu]-[Ctrl]-[Foot]->Damper Polarity
☞ Parameter Guide, Page 145.
10. Why do some Programs or Combis have the sustain pedal
disabled? The A001 AcousticPianoAT patch is a good example.
The reason is that the programmer of the patch decided that when
KARMA is active, the use of the sustain pedal caused objectionable
behavior. Or, the sustain pedal is programmed to do something else (like
activate the Note Latch function in Dynamic MIDI).
In the case of A001, I wrote this patch, and I agree in retrospect that the
sustain pedal should be active. I didn’t like certain things you could
make it do with the KARMA function active, but now I believe that it is
more normal with it functioning normally. Fortunately, it is easy to
change:
(6.1-5) [Menu]-[KARM]-[RxFilter] -> Damper CC#64 -> set to On.
☞ Parameter Guide, Page 60.
Here, in A001, we can see that “Damper” (CC 64) is OFF. This means
that when KARMA is ON, the Damper will not be echoed through (and
therefore will not work). Set this to ON and resave the Program, and it
will work in a more normal fashion.
In a Combi, it is a similar operation, except you can control the Damper
for each KARMA Module separately.
