Topic: Duplicates with midi mapping to pedals

I have to the following issue and would appreciate any hint:
I'm using PT5 with a Roland F-120R. I want to use the Soft pedal and the Sustenuto pedal to switch to prev and next presets respectively.
When I assign the respective program events to midi controller 66 and 67 I get duplicate events. So any pressing of the pedal switch 2x backwards or forward.
What do i do wrong or isn't this possible?
Thanks or your help.
Thomas

Re: Duplicates with midi mapping to pedals

Hi,

I think this is still not possible. I even remember making a feature request a while ago concerning threshold controller values in Pianoteq exactly for that reason. That you see two events is correct, since pressing the pedal should result in a controller value of 127 and releasing it in a value of 0.

I have had some success with a Korg Nanokontrol 2 if that is an option (i.e. if you don't necessarily need a foot switch). That device is actually a DAW control surface, but it is freely programmable and any button can be set to send any CC (and optionally only one event per key press, i.e. value 127 on the first and 0 on the second). It was a bit of work to get it to do exactly what I needed, but now it is very nice. I can even directly control e.g. the volume of Pianoteq with it.

Re: Duplicates with midi mapping to pedals

If you use the pedals slowly, do you in fact get one increment on pedal down, and a 2nd one on pedal up?
EDIT: Ah. I see that kalessin posted at the same time

@vic-France: Yes that's what i get.

@kalessin: Thanks for the explanation! Nice idea with the Nanocontrol, but it would require another USB port. Right now both of my MBP are used (one for the keyboard and the other for my KEF speakers)

Re: Duplicates with midi mapping to pedals

Are you using Pianoteq as Standalone? (in which case, there's not much you can do about it). But if you are using it as a plug-in inside a DAW, you probably have the possibility of filtering out the pedal-up CC values before it reaches Pianoteq.
