Topic: Half pedal functionality - what should I expect?

I just plugged in a new Roland DP-10 pedal into my Komplete Kontrol S88 Mk2 and I can see that the sustain pedal is moving according to how far I depress the pedal.
However, I am not experiencing any change in the sound of the sustain.
Based on my upright piano I expect that I should get some sustain but not as much as fully depressed and that this should gradually increase as I press the pedal further down.
What I am experiencing however, is no change in sustain (despite seeing the pedal gradually move down in the UI), it sounds like when sustain is off, and then sustain 100% on once it is fully depressed.
Doesn't seem right to me. Am I missing something else.

I tested with the Steinway D, and the Petrof piano

Re: Half pedal functionality - what should I expect?

I solved this as soon as I posted. The problem was the calibration assistant had a curve that was making it behave as I described.
Once I set the curve to a straight linear line the pedal behaved as expected.
