VSampler 3 Sustain Pedal

Hi all,

Just joined - first message...

I've been trying to get a handle on VSampler. So far I've got it to play a nice grand piano, but the sustain padal doesn't seem to be working. I use a Kawai K1 as a keyboard controller, and its sustain pedal works fine through SOANR and into my Roland JV-880 hardware synthesizer, but when I go through SONAR into VSampler it isn't working. I assume there must be some sort of enable for it, or something, but I can't seem to find it.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

I ran into the same problem with my Roland keyboard. They send an "all notes off" when the last key is released on the keyboard. I believe the MIDI spec stipulates that the sustain pedal should override the all notes off message. Vsampler, however, treats an all notes off as a "all sounds off", cutting everything off even if the sustain pedal is pressed. You may notice that the sustain pedal does indeed work until you let go of the last key you pressed. You can work around this by mapping the "all notes off" (controller #123) message to a RPN/NRPN #3FFF (NULL) in the "Options>MIDI>Preferences>Controller Map" section of Vsampler3. I'm hoping the Vsampler folks fix this eventually, as this feature does tend to protect you against stuck notes, which is why Roland did it. Let me know if this works for you or not.
