Sustain pedal not working with split patches

[leaid]

Hi all,

Just wondering if other rev2 owners have had issues with the sustain pedal not functioning for both layers when split mode is used. It seems to only sustain the layer that is currently active for editing. I have logged this with tech support, but just wondered whether others had had the same problem (OS 1.1.0.1).

Cheers

Whilst I don't have a sustain pedal myself, I remember people talking about this in this thread:-

Thanks for the link, I saw that thread too and checked that global parameter sustain arp is set to sustain.
I have got a reply from the DSI tech support, who say that this has been added to the bug list for future OS updates.

I think that it's actually useful that the sustain pedal is only working for the "active/selected" layer, since I don't necessarily want all notes from both parts to sustain...

Thats a fair point. Perhaps a misc parameter to define which layer(s) responds to the sustain pedal or not would be a useful option.

I agree.
Customer service told me that it was designed to work the way it is, and that if I want to use the sustain pedal to control both sides of a split, I should hold the B button until it flashes.
