Questions & Answers
As for my P105, it worked for me, so I predict that it will work for you as well.
There is no support for the Nord Electro with this. "Continuous sustain" is what it is. In order for the Nord to function properly, persistent on/off sustain is needed. My chagrin at this was that I only found out after it was too late.
Yes, I believe that is the case.
The answer is unknown to me. I have had no issues with mine.

As can be seen, it does not mimic the half sustain possible on an acoustic piano simply put, it goes from no sustain to full sustain so fast that you cannot hold the pedal accurately. Leave 1/4 and 3/4 out of your mind. As I measured, it takes about 5/8" before the wheel starts to sustain, and then it cannot go any further before it becomes fully stable. "Yes, that is the way it works," Yamaha says. It is their belief that you should depress the pedal all the way and then raise it slowly while going through the half sustain. Is there even anyone in the piano world that you have talked to regarding this matter? Have you ever gone to a real piano and seen how it works? A grand piano would be best. The idea that a piano company, which makes so many pianos of all kinds, can have so little experience in maintaining sustain pedals is simply unbelievable to me.
To reach my desired level of sustain effect I wanted the very best pedals I could find. I am confident the FC4A will make a great pedal, but I think the FC3A makes a great half peddling pedal. There is nothing more than an on and off switch with the FC4A. Whether there is enough sustain or not will depend on how everything shakes out. Some times you need to sustain your effort. The game you are playing just determines how it works. The FC3A has been a great asset for me. After I lost the sustain pedal after a recent performance, I bought this to replace it.
There was a problem with this unit. With the pedal plugged in, a piano's sustain was always present regardless of whether the pedal was up, down, or somewhere There was a description that said It is supported for a wide range of P-series, assuming that is true for ALL of them I tried charging and connecting it after it was on, but it was defective. I also tried holding it down when turning it on, but it didn't do anything. The experiment did not work. In spite of that, I plugged it into my 76-key Dexibell just to see what would happen. Contrary to what was expected, sustain was pushed up and damping was pushed Because of this, I think maybe it's just not compatible. The Yamaha FC5 pedal I use for travel works just fine on both keyboards if polarity is set properly. Secondly, there was a pedal that came with the P200 that could double as a half-pedal I had the same problem with my Dexibell pedal when the polarity was correct. Depending on the model, Yamaha bikes may have more or less compatibility, but their pedals do not have switches. Their tricks rely upon the use of tricks, such as holding the key down while it starts and then releasing. In the event you forget to hold it down when you power it on, and then start playing, you may be left regretting it. This is not a very professional way of doing things, according to me. Once I replace my 30+ year old P200 with a Roland or other Dexibell, I probably won't go back to a P200.
This is the best because its just built well, it's heavy and solid, it performs well, and it will last for an extended period of time. A latch/unlatch switch is not provided on this pedal as is the case on some competition. In electronic keyboard players, each keyboard brand requires an internal switch that keeps the foot pedal latched or unlatched, so having the switch is nice to work with all brands of keyboard. However, the FC3A only works with Yamaha keyboards with the internal.
Keyboards which support the "half damper" feature of the FC3A pedal are developed by Yamaha. A piano damper is an effect used on keyboards like the Motif X and the S series to simulate a more realistic sound. With an acoustic piano, the damper pedal (also called the sustain pedal) lifts a set of felt "dampers" from the strings, causing the strings to vibrate and sustain the It is possible for players to just barely kiss the felts to the string using this mechanical action, allowing them to create an interesting tone. With the help of the FC3A pedal, keyboardists can perform these actions on those keyboards that support the feature. There can be no doubt that this is a high quality pedal The pedal feels like a real piano damper pedal with its heavy duty construction and substantial resistance.
A couple of my less expensive pedals began squeaking as soon as I got them. I haven't heard any squeaks from this pedal so far, and it feels much sturdier than other pedals. On my hardwood floor, it is also heavier and doesn't move around as much as a light mattress. It has been a great experience so far, and I highly.
My Yamaha key board was sold at Guitar Center, and it came with a Pro-Tune amp. A line sustain pedal, that they said would be compatible with my Yamaha FC3A keyboard (they were out of stock on the In polarity I, it was reversed. The pedal does not have to be pushed for full sustain. My time and effort was wasteful. I spent an hour and a half trying to figure out the FC3A's manual, Youtube, and Yamaha's web site, but it did nothing for me. I bought the FC3A from Amazon and it arrived the very next It worked right away once I plugged it in. Additionally, it feels like it is of higher $15 is about right. In contrast with the time I wasted by getting poor advice, the extra $10. 00 is not a great deal.
I consider this a necessary accessory. There is no real purpose to the tiny sustain pedal included with Yamaha keyboards you can't use it on any keyboard other than theirs It has only the advantage of carpeted surfaces and is only a small size (which is convenient for people who carry equipment regularly). Otherwise, you'll be missing out on every advantage you might have if you don't replace your current device The reviews I've read suggest that some buyers had issues with the units breaking or failing, or being too loud, but I haven't encountered any such problems. In the event that it doesn't hold up for a year, a further review will be added, but so far it's been a great product.
