As far as I know, for continuous sustain pedal you can take any midi-keyboard and sustain pedal and run them through a MIDI Solutions Pedal Controller, which is designed exactly for this purpose.

For the continuous sustain pedal, if your controller has an expression pedal port, you can probably get away with using that and assigning it to CC #64 for sustain pedal. Any standard pedal with a TRS 1/4" jack should work with such a setup.

As for system requirements, your PC is powerful enough to get very decent results from Pianoteq.

You really should have a controller that supports continuous sustain pedal if you want to get best results. Check out Studiologic MIDI controllers.

Sorry for many questions but I've been drooling over a RD700NX for a long time.

The thing is the price is way too high. What I have now is a Casio CDP200R.

And a i3 2.4Ghz laptop with 8gb of ram.

I do not intend to use monitors and rely on headphones. Is this a decent set up?

Secondly the CDP200R has an on off sustain pedal therefore I assume the CDP200R will send midi values of ON or OFF. How can I get full continuous sustain capability?

Thank you.
