Topic: Question to CA 65 owners - problems with sustain pedal
Hi there,
recently I combined a Kawai CA 65 with Pianoteq and I really enjoy this setup.
However, there is a problem with the sustain pedal, which provides gradual MIDI values (instead of just 0 and 127). Whenever I use the sustain pedal at intermediate stages, e.g. about half way, the CA 65 literally flushes the MIDI-out port with so many pedal-messages that the actual notes get delayed very much, resulting in an unplayable situation. This can well be seen in the MIDI tab of the Options window in PT (To be clear: The issue is caused by the DP, and not by PT)
Kawai has been very helpful and will look at this. In the meantime I thought I'd check with you all to find out if someone has had a similar issue with a CA 65, and if so has maybe found a solution.
Cheers

P.S.: I checked if it is indeed a problem of the DP by switching off local control and looping the MIDI-out of the DP back into the MIDI-in of the DP. This results in the same delay of notes when using the sustain pedal.
