Hello everyone.
I have a sustain pedal that I tried to connect to the M3. I connected it into the 'switch' jack and entered GLOBAL P2. There, I assigned the foot switch to "foot switch" (CC#82) and it didn't work. For some reason, the only it works is if I assign it to "damper"(CC#64)-and then it works (as a sustain pedal, not as a damper.) Does anyone have an idea why it happens?

And for that function you want CC#64.-

Eh, not quite...realvoices wrote:Ironically it is mis-named as a sustain pedal is normally the right pedal on a piano, sustaining the sound, and the damper pedal is the far left pedal on a piano, dampening the sound.
I've never understood why modern keyboards label the sustain pedal as a damper!
The right pedal on a piano is the damper pedal, because it controls whether or not the dampers come in contact with the strings when you lift your finger from the key. It is often also commonly referred to as the sustain pedal.
The middle pedal is called the sostenuto pedal and controls whether or not the dampers remain up only on selected notes.
The pedal on the left is called the una corda pedal (or soft pedal). On grand pianos, pressing this pedal shifts the position of the hammers to the right so that they only strike one of three strings in a triple-strung note, one of two strings in a double-strung note, and the side of single-strung notes. On upright pianos the una corda pedal moves the hammers closer to the hammers, limiting the amount of inertia that can develop between hammer and string, thus producing a softer sound.
