Question

In order to make the Sustain pedal work on your MIDI controller you have to do 2 things:

1.- Go to: Studio One > Preferences > External Devices
Double-Click on your MIDI device to make the Edit Device window appear. Uncheck every single box on the Filter Section. Close the Edit Device and the Preferences windows.

2.- Go to: View > MIDI Monitor
Uncheck all filters. Close the MIDI Monitor window.

Try your sustain pedal...      
                          ...You are welcome!

Answer 1

Thank you for providing this solution.

Answer 2

Didn't work over here!

Answer 3

Thank you!! I'm new to S1, this solved my sustain pedal problem after much searching.

Answer 4

My sustain pedal with my Midi was working fine yesterday, and now it's not registering the sustain pedal today. Had all of those boxes unchecked anyways, and followed these instructions to make sure, so not solving on my end!

Answer 5

thanks- This worked on 4.5.1.52729 for me!

Answer 6

Hello

i 've got the same pedal sustain than before, the same keyboard

and one day after an update from studio one 3 to studio one 4

the sustain is crazy ,  it works when i play but not when i record

(try everything on external devices / midi monitor ..... blablablabla .... it steel not workin

so i'm back to LOGIC and i don't have any probleme with my sustain

what wrong with studio one ????

Answer 7

One other thing… If you’re using a Native Instruments Komplete Kontrol A-series MIDI controller, please make sure the sustain pedal’s ¼” jack is fully inserted all the way into the pedal input.

If the jack is only partially inserted, the keyboard will transmit CC 65 (Portamento) instead of CC 64 (sustain pedal).

Answer 8

Seriously thank you. i have spent hours on this.

Answer 9

This worked for me! Thank you! Actually I only had to uncheck the box for "Controllers".

Answer 10

I went into both windows and everything was already unchecked, but just by opening and closing these windows it somehow fixed my issue...thanks for that! I was about ready to return my midi controller, which wasn't the issue.

Answer 11

Ah ok this is a weird issue. MIDI Monitor was the key to trouble shooting this issue for me. Upon opening that window, you will see all the midi input (play the keys, turn the knobs etc. this panel will display in real time what functions are being activated). By using this, I realized that my sustain pedal was being unresponsive. I simply unplugged it (M Gear pedal) and plugged in another pedal (a second M Gear, so that pedal DOES work, but it might be picky), and now it works.

Answer 12

The sustain pedal still doesn’t get recorded tho!!!

Answer 13

Thanks a Lot. This mas driving me crazy.

Regards and happy new year.

Answer 14

'LIKE A GLOVE'! Thank you so much! (Had to laugh too - because you're welcome meant you knew it would it work!

Answer 15

I just unchecked the options on the filter and it work!!! Thank you very much!

Answer 16

Hi,
It works for me, thank you for the solution ;)

Answer 17

Worked like a charm! Thanks! Wish I would have come over to ask a little sooner.

Answer 18

Thanks! Should have come here first. Worked perfectly with my Korg EX as the Controller Keyboard!

Answer 19

What worked for me is click on midi implementation icon and turn up the expression knob.

Answer 20

Spent two days on this and in my case found I had set it up in the External devices(the one in console at bottom left) as a controller by accident! I then had to click midi learn, right click and remove.

Answer 21

Thank you so much - never had this problem before but suddenly, in the middle of a studio session, no sustain! Then I found your advice which worked perfectly - such a clear and concise remedy - excellent!

Answer 22

Another reason can be that you have the pedal already as a button in "MIDI Learn".
Once you remove (or even map it to sustain) it there, it worked in my case.
