Half damping on Krome

Hello all, I have a question.

Is it supposed to be really hard to obtain half damping with the korg DS1H pedal? It feels like I have only a few millimeters to work with.
Is it this hard too on a real piano? I have no experience on a real piano. Or is something wrong with my pedal?

And also: When I try to calibrate the half damping on my Krome, what exactly is supposed to happen?
It says : set MIN/MAX then press "Done"
But how do I do this. I can only press the pedal (MAX?) and a bar fills up then I release the pedal (Bar stays on) and i press "Done".

Is this the right way to calibrate half damping?

Thanks in advance for the help.

I've never done it on a digital piano but on a real piano it is a very small range. You get a little more physical feedback though.

Thank you Sander,

Still not convinced mine is working correctly. Half damping is almost impossible to achieve.

And also when calibrating, half of the time the black bar doesn't even show up.

Are there some other users that like to share their excperience with this please?

Hi.
I use the DS1H with the Kronos and I can confirm the same.
When you really want to obtain the half fdamper effect if you are very careful you can. But in a live situation it's very difficult to be that precise.
The calibration does not help too much. I guess it's more like checking the polarity of the pedal.
