Topic: Roland DP10 pedal - is it actually 'continuous'?

I recently bought Roland FP10, just as a controller for Pianoteq and connected Roland DP10 so-called continuous pedal. It has switch allowing to choose '0-1' mode or 'continuous'. When I connect it to FP10 and then use it with Pianoteq, even in continuous mode it sends 3 velocities: 0, ~64, 127.

With my Korg Grandstage and DS-1H pedal, I am able to get full range of velocities for sustain.

I'm wondering, is DP10 not actually 'continuous' and sends only 3 velocities, or Roland FP10 is limiting it and sends only those 3 values by MIDI? I cannot test DP10 with Grandstage currently so I would appreciate information from you guys.

I have a hunch that the FP10 may be limiting the pedal, as you suggest. If used with FP30, the DP10 pedal is properly continuous.

Agree. My DP10 works properly with my FP30, which means that is continuous.

I use the DP-10 on a Roland A-88 and the pedal responds continuously on Pianoteq. On the Roland FP-7F too.
