Questions & Answers

Have just received a pedal, but it behaves in the opposite way Notes are stopped with the up key, and sustains are left on. Why is that happening? How can I reverse it?

The pedal needs to be plugged in before the keyboard can be turned I encourage you to disconnect everything, plug in the pedal, then plug in your keyboard. I hope you will be able to solve your problem this way. By doing this, the sustain polarity should be reversible. I wish you the best of

I had a problem with mine. Is there anything you can think of? Although I know about reverse polarity, it hasn't been working at all for me. ?

The plug can be plugged in and out again a few times by taking it out. Test it on a known good keyboard that you or a friend have or a keyboard you can purchase locally. The pedal is attached with screws at the bottom. If there are any loose connections, open it up and inspect it. There's a possibility that the jacks in your keyboard are shorting out, but I'd suggest trying a known good keyboard before giving up on this one. You know, they're made abroad In that case.

Could this pedal be fitted to the clavinova clp-26 Three hundred? It was a pleasure working with ?

There is a sustain pedal on the Yamaha CLP 300, but I'm not sure why you would need to add one more. There is a chance that this will not work, but am not certain.

The NI Komplete Kontrol S88 Mk2 is compatible with this set-up?

The chances of this pedal working are pretty good. As this pedal does not have a polarity switch, you might need to change the MIDI value of the keyboard and make the polarity change (not a huge issue). For use with the Arturia Keylab 88, I had to modify the code. However, reversing the wiring by hand is easier, and you can also do it in the midi assign if you need to.

This pedal is the one you need

5/5

The pedals I needed were for my home studio because I am a working musician. This is the Yamaha Solid and worth the extra money (but at $29, is there any real option here? 1) They are built like tanks, and will forever last. With Yamaha pedals, I never have a problem on the road. The "bargain" pedals are not worth it It feels uncomfortable to sit on them as they are too light and move around on the floor. In case you are considering this pedal and unsure whether to buy it, here are some tips for you You Can do it! (Nike!.

There may not be a note on your piano informing you of Okay, so you just bought this pedal and plugged it in to your Yamaha Digital piano, but it appears to work Does the pedal sustain when the pedal is up? Your adapter has been plugged in without being unplugged, so the polarity has reversed

4/5

For your safety, turn off your piano, turn off your pedal, then turn on the piano, then plug in your pedal and piano adapter, then turn on your piano, and all should be well.

After 6 months, the system still stopped working despite a solid build and design

3/5

The sustain pedals that I have used as a professional keyboard player have been many. It is not uncommon for even the most expensive ones to be unreliable. This pedal is a Yamaha that I purchased 6 months ago because I know the name and it looks sturdy, and it has been rather troublesome to find a pedal that will comply with my needs. The peddle has stopped working entirely over the past few days, and despite the fact that I take great care of my gear and store it in a case, etc. My disappointment in this matter is very great because the pedal feels great, and I cannot even imagine how it could have stopped working (internally). My search for the best sustain pedal has not made any difference in my case I'll probably buy cheap sustain pedals again, as (unless this was just a dud), it appears that paying more for the higher quality name did not result in better reliability.

The reverse operation is as follows The damper pedal doesn't do the one thing it was intended to accomplish! Trying different combos of on-and-off for 45 minutes was a waste of time On the off-chance The plug - When I thought I would be plugging it into my Privia PX- I unplugged it You have a sustain pedal that works with the 350M

3/5

If it is meant to be dual-purpose, why isn't Yamaha thinking of adding a switch to it? The unit did not come with any instructions. Reviewing bad solutions is tedious. Why should I read reviews instead of finding the best solutions? The item will be returned to you.

Works with Casio CTX-E but not with Casio CTX-D This switch worked very well with my Casio CTK-S

4/5

I tried all of the methods listed here to make it work with my Casio CTK-S. I tried 481 times, but it did not work. Due to a faulty pedal, I was forced to return it. It is quite heavy though so stays in place. The quality of the pedal is very good, as well as its construction. This one is likely to be a better choice if you have a Casio. I am giving it four stars since it's not Yamaha's fault that it won't work with Casio, but they should include a switch on the unit so that it can reverse the polarity for those keyboards requiring.

Polaroid Opposite

3/5

This pedal feels more like the sustain pedal on an acoustic piano than it does on an electric one. We tried Yamaha's advice on switching polarity for several hours and it never worked (despite efforts to research and find the solution). It is still not clear why the manufacturers did not just include No longer works with my Akai keyboards, so I returned it and replaced it with an M-Powered keyboard A pedal for musical accompaniment.

There is no problem with the pedal

4/5

Rather than moving so much, I would like it to be still. Because the pedal that came with my keyboard moved when I played, I bought this one. The pedal has to stay in place while I hold it while playing since I stand up while playing. As the pedal in question is much heavier than the one that came with the keyboard, I expected it to be more rigid. There is as much movement with this pedal as there was with the original. I'll be making a bracket to hold it in place for sure since I do some woodworking. It's a good pedal. It looks great. It works great. However, I can't get it to stay in place.

With the Alesis "V" Series Midi keyboards you can use this pedal! Reviewers stating that it does not work with Alesis "V" series keyboards should not be believed

5/5

As someone with an Alesis V49, I can confirm that the polarity is backwards (where sustain is depressed), but anyone with an Alesis "V" series keyboard knows there is Alesis Editor software that can be used to edit various controller parameters You can also specify the velocity curves, the MIDI channels, etc. ) You can choose between "Pressed" and "Released" settings on the sustain menu, which allows you to switch polarity (thereby switching from one to the other). Definitely worth the money.
