Hello,
I own an old Korg Sampling Grand (SG-1) and Pianoteq makes it so delightful to play
But, the Damper is a footswitch (DS-1, the ancestor of the DS-1H it seems).
I wonder if a simple Damper input can pass through the full Data Byte 0-127 with a full range pedal like a Roland DP-10...
Does anyone know about how midi is usually handled here...?
If it's not going to work is there a possible mod? Solution?
Thanks
Cheers
On my setup, the Korg DS1H pedal puts out 0, 38, 74 and 127 depending on how you press down it. I'm running it on a Korg SP-200 digital piano keyboard.
Thanks edhastie for your answer and the data provided.
My real question is more if the "port" can handle more granularity, like if you put a DP-10 in your SP-200 if you would have full velocity with more values or if it's clamped to them even in midi through.
And in my case if I can have full velocity or at least half-damper as you have with my "old midi". I guess I'll have to try anyway...
Have a good day
The port itself is just a circuit. It doesn't decide how many steps the microcontroller will receive. I'm pretty sure DS1H pedal has its own internal quantizing to those 4 steps, rather than full continuous range (for reasons only Korg knows)...
Thanks EvilDragon "Quantize" that's the word I couldn't remember when I wrote "clamped"...
So I'll buy a pedal and hope my microcontroller doesn't quantize the signal it gets to ON/OFF.
Methinks the pedal itself quantizes, not the microcontroller. But who knows...
