Will any sustain pedal work for the microstation?

If you can reverse the damper polarity in your global (controllers) settings, then any sustain pedal should work.

I bought an SP-2 Universal Sustain Pedal by M-Audio.

I am not sure what you are saying Charlie67.

Some sustain pedals will default to the electronic gate being open when they are off, and some will default to being closed when they are off.

Thus some sustain pedals plugged into a certain board may cause all notes to sustain until you press the pedal - I.e. they operate in reverse.

If this is the case, you can change the polarity of the sus pedal in Global mode. Also remember to 'Write' global mode changes just like when editing a program, so that they will remain after power-off.

I use sustain pedal no problem - if your pedal has no polarity switch the microSTATION Global settings can adapt to your pedal, then save the global settings.
