Another note for AKAI MPK2 users…
I don’t do it this way. I resort to a transformer in software as described above since I ALSO use a continuous CC pedal in port 3, but…
Do you have a continuous pedal/breath-controller/whatever plugged into EXPRESSION PORT?
If NOT, then you can try using that port instead, and invert the events in the MPK2. I don’t know if it’ll work for all pedals, and for everyone, but it’s worth a try.
If you have a transformer active in Cubase as described above, disable it.
- Plug your problem pedal into the EXPRESSION port, rather than switch ports 1 or 2.
- Tap edit on the MPK2.
- Stomp the pedal and let it up a few times, and on the MPK2 itself, Assign it to CC64, change: min value to 127 and the max to 0.
At this point, hopefully your sustain pedal works properly. If so, save the preset and global settings on your MPK2.
Note, if you use this ‘port 3’ method, then you do NOT need a global transformer anymore…as the MPK2 itself would be sending the proper event.
