Students and parents will often ask me which sustain pedal they should buy as they're unsure of the difference. Some of them have also been caught out by something really annoying and ask me 'Why is my keyboard pedal not working?' So be careful that you buy one that is compatible with your keyboard.

Oh thank goodness the M-audio SP- 2, was listed as a cheap alternative. It just came in today! I want to teach myself how to play the keyboard. A music teacher told me I have no rhythm over 20 years ago and I took as an insult stuck me all this time. A friend was kind enough to gift her son's old Yamaha keyboard and I'm determined to learn. I feel I need a creative outlet other than gaming. Looking forward to watching your videos.

Make sure you also get one that's continuous. That way, it won't immediately cut off the sound when you take your foot off. The continuous ones slowly dampen the sound (like a piano slowly applying felt to the string)

Don't necessarily buy another one. The pedal is likely to have a switch and if it doesn't, it's likely switchable by the keyboard/controller, or it could just be a case of holding the pedal down while starting the keyboard/controller.

I had some difficulty finding info on which sustain pedal to purchase for my Arturia KeyLab 49 MKII. Finally settled on the Roland DP-10 after contacting Sweetwater. They assured me that it would be compatible and indeed it was. The one thing I was told by the sales rep was to plug in the sustain pedal to the KeyLab before powering it on. Works like a charm. No switching of polarities is necessary. The DP-10 is extremely durable and well made. It is definitely not a flimsy or cheaply made pedal. It’s a high quality piece of gear. It doesn’t slip when used on hardwood floors. Highly recommended!

You can also look in the keyboard owner's manual (available online) to see how to reverse polarity. Without using the reverse polarity switch, (assuming it has one - the premiere Yamaha SP4, for example, has no such switch). With some keyboards you simply power it on with the pedal attached, and the KB detects the pedal and sets polarity - Williams for ex. On others, you press a certain key at power on to reverse polarity, such as with Casio.

@chriskaprys Жыл бұрын

I didn't realise until now that the keyboard could switch the polarity! I had a Roland pedal which I sold with my Roland keyboard, but I had tried the pedal on my Yamaha keyboard and it didn't work. I assumed this was because it had one extra signal input (two black stripes on the plug instead of one), but just realised if I plug my working Yamaha pedal in and hold the pedal down while powering the piano up, it reverses polarity! And yes, it's one of those awful little rectangles that seems designed to run away from your foot no matter how you secure it in place. I loved that rubber mat that swung out from the Roland pedal, great feature.

@MosesKFrost-qn2sm 3 жыл бұрын

1:53 Which actually does make a lot of sense, seeing that a real piano without the dampening layer and mechanism, would play all the strings in sustain and *with* the dampening layer and mechanism, it would be considered to be played in "natural mode", so a "normal" pedal is actually in reverse.

@SianaGearz Жыл бұрын

So here's something i found out about my 1997 Yamaha when i was playing around with the "polarity" switch on my BOSS pedal - the keyboard actually works with either "polarity" pedal, but the pedal needs to be connected before you power it on. It will just read the position of the switch at that moment when you power it on and assume that that's the released state, and the opposite is the engaged state. You can just try that with your keyboard whichever one you have by pressing down the pedal when you power it on and seeing whether it starts behaving the opposite. "Polarity" is btw a misnomer, as the pedal has no positive/negative, just whether it allows the current to flow or not, so it's the really the switch type, NC (normally closed) vs NO (normally open). But as it often happens with misnomers, they tend to stick around.

I have an M-Audio SP2 and a Roland DP-10 (that as being part of a Roland PF-90). I've got a Roland A-88 MK2 then I thought I will use M-Audio SP2, while using Pianoteq software piano. It doesn't work with SP2. When the polarity is correct, seems to work in the correct direction, but as I press, doesn't keep in sustain, in a short moment falls back the signal and the software it shows that visually also. When I plug in the DP-10 in continuous mode, I see in the software that I can control gradually how much is pressed and it works. DP-10 also works in pure switch mode. I measured the impedances between the wires of the pedals. SP2 is just a switch, with on state of cca 80 Ohm. Roland DP-10 beside that has 3 pole connector rather than 2, has totally different impedance ranges and it also changes depending on the mode. At one point I have to purchase a Roland pedal. Since in the home we already have a DP-10 with the PF-90, perhaps it makes sense to have the 3 pedal version, to let us more possibilities.

As a beginner moving fast, I do find the switch pedal that came with my Dp120 annoying as it's either on or BANG off so I just leave the sustain on and yes I know it's stretches the notes a bit long..er, but it's better than listening to the notes cut off as soon as you release the keys. I will look into getting a foot pedal when I upgrade, hopefully soon.

Hey thanks for the video. My sustain pedal in midi keyboard operates with a binary logic (on/off) without any interval sensitivity. When I press the pedal the midi value comes only as 127 (the maximum level). Normally when i play the piano i can easily fade out the sound by slowly releasing the pedal, but in midi keyboard i always find myself editing the values in DAW. Is this normal for the midi keyboard? Is there any other type of pedal to generate interval values depending on the pressing intensity?

@PianoFromScratch 3 жыл бұрын

A lot of pedals are just essentially an on off switch. Sounds like you need a pedal capable of 'half pedalling'. The Roland DP-10 for example is capable of half pedalling but only with keyboards that can do it. I'm honestly not sure about use with a DAW though i'm afraid. Perhaps searching for half pedalling with midi in your specific DAW may help your find the answer. Good luck!

But would you please tell me does all of them can send cc from 0-127？ That means I would reach any number from 0-127 depending on the pressure I am applying. I am not sure if the “half-pedaling” means it is divided into two parts or multiple small parts only, like 0 instantly to 64 and 65 to 127. I want a continuous pedal that can send cc from 0-127 smoothly like a real pedal. Also I am using m-audio oxygen pro 61. I think it compatible with all of the pedals I have mentioned too?

Hi, yes m-audio pedal should do if your keyboard has a 1/4” jack input for a sustain pedal. Says on their website 'compatible with all electronic keyboards’

Hello. I have a Ctk-1550 Casio and it only has two slots for wiring, one of which is is always in use when I'm actually using my keyboard as it it's an electricity source. The second slot is labelled output/ phones and so I'm not entirely sure if my keyboard will be suitable for a pedal.

@PianoFromScratch 3 жыл бұрын

Hi, unless there's one labelled either sustain or damper, then I think maybe your keyboard doesn't take a sustain pedal. Just had a quick look on the casio website and it doesn't mention anything about sustain i'm afraid

Hey sorry to bother. Is it possible to get some sort of adapter? Because I reallllyyy wanna play my keyboard with a pedal.

@PianoFromScratch 3 жыл бұрын

I've never heard of one myself. It's really the keyboard that sustains the notes and the pedal is like an on/off switch so if your keyboard doesn't already do it, my best guess is that won't be a way of getting it too. Perhaps it's best to do what you can with it for now and then think about an upgrade when that's possible.

The thing is I bought it just recently and then I moved houses so I've chucked away like the packaging and the receipt. Unlucky ig haha. But I'll definitely continue with what I have. Thank you for your help, much appreciated 😊

I have jen piano 73 and wondering which pedal can I use for this old e.piano?

@PianoFromScratch 2 жыл бұрын

Don't know that particular piano but all sustain pedals (That I have ever seen) just use the same 1/4 inch Jack input so if you get one with a polarity switch, you should be good

I own a Yamaha PSR-433 keyboard and Yamaha FC3 sustain pedal, but the pedal is not working properly. Either it sustains, no matter what I do, either it doesn’t work at all. Anyone can help?

@Bo van Burken Sorry the video didn't help but it was more a guide on getting a pedal and a common mistake people don't realise. I couldn't cover every possible thing that could go wrong unfortunately. Good luck getting yours sorted

Hi nice video btw!! Does the DP-10 have a polarity switch on it?

@PianoFromScratch 3 жыл бұрын

It doesn’t unfortunately

@PianoFromScratch 3 жыл бұрын

@DikoMan That's not a polarity switch. That's a switch for half pedalling which only works if your keyboard supports that too

Unfortunately I see this comment too late. Maybe it would be better if you pointed it out in your video. I bought based on your recommendation. I stayed dissapointed when I tried it out with my Akai MPK249 today. Verdict: it's REVERSED. Ah.. My bad, I better have to doublecheck its features next time. Anyway, I wish you nice Easter!

Off the top of my head, I think the Roland’s and casios don’t work together. Seem to remember a student who had a problem once but double check on google, I’m sure there’s a forum answer somewhere.

@PianoFromScratch 4 жыл бұрын

You could get the Yamaha FC4A pedal which will be compatible as it's the same brand. But they're usually more expensive so honestly I would go for the M-audio SP-2 which is universal, really good and a better price

Thanks for replying sir. I was confused between the two but I finally decided to order maudio sp2 .. i have heard yamaha dont has a half pedal feature I don’t what is that but I ordered this one you preferred thank you 😊

If you mean the m-audio pedal, yes it does, works with any keyboard that takes a pedal, may just have to try the switch either way to see what works

Thanks for the video. I have a question. 1.What's the difference between FC4A & FC5 pedals. Are they similar? 2. Do I need an expression or volume pedal like FC7 even if I have mod wheels? Or Mod wheels are just enough to assign and make desired modulations? Note: I'm using Yamaha PSR -S910 keyboard and I would like to use it as a midi keyboard for the Kontakt on my PC. Thanks for the reply in advance. :-)

@PianoFromScratch 3 жыл бұрын

FC4A is more like the design of a real pedal so much better to use physically. As far as other pedals go, really depends on how you like to use the keyboard, some people use them, some don't. Perhaps try them out and see what you like

Hi. Yamaha have the FC4 pedal but I think it's quite expensive. The m-audio universal one will work and is much cheaper. If you go for another brand liek Roland dp-10 for example which is really good, i'd check with who you buy it form that it works with a yamaha keyboard.

Both M- Audio pedals that looks like a fancier Dp-2pedal i have bought don't always stay sustaining.....the overpriced Roland Dp-2 works every time but being Roland costs too much
