Topic: Half-pedaling - any suggestions for a make/model?

I use CME 88 note weighted keyboard and Protools.

I have pedals for sustain and for soft pedal, but the sustain is unsatisfactory in that it does not allow for half-pedaling. The logo is "M Gear" and despite looking like real piano pedals, they do not work at half pedal, so I get this nasty on/off sound in the sustain.

Can anyone please recommend a make of pedal that will work with my setup and fix this? I live in the USA.

Incidentally, does half pedaling work with PianoTeq using the una corda pedal?

Many thanks,

Harry.

You can drag each of the four pedals up and down to intermediate values, indicating continuous functionality supported by Pianoteq. As for the pedal, there is the Roland DP-10, DP-8 or Yamaha FC3 which support half-pedal functionality, unlike that M-Audio SP-2. Of course, this all assumes your keyboard also supports continuous sustain, which thankfully, yours does (TRS = continuous functionality).

Re: Half-pedaling - any suggestions for a make/model?

I didn't read your reply to my post about half-pedaling until today when I actually posted another identical inquiry. I guess it wasn't forwarded to me - must fix that. But I want to thank you for the response and will get hold of one of the pedals you mention.

Apologies for incredibly late response.

Best wishes,

Harry.
