DOREMIDI pedal setup - Problem solved, thanks!!

My two MPC-20 pedal controllers arrived today.
(I have eight Roland DP-10 pedals!)

However, working out which software/drivers to get them working with Pianoteq is proving to be very confusing - I'm quite new to this level of midi setup!

DOREMIDI have their own software called "Pedal Config Tool V.2.0" but I'm not sure if that's the best choice of software to be using.

Without using any 3rd-party software, Pianoteq only seems to receive a signal on midi channel 1, regardless of which pedal port is being used/mapped on the MPC-20.

Any advice/recommendations?

Many thanks!!

  Congrats for your acquisition.

Ok, let me explain how it works, you have 3 things to configure

(1) declare the pedals and configure them in the software that comes with doremidi. You ABSOLUTELY need to use this software as it will save the changes in the programmable memory of the converter .  I have attached a screenshot with one example on how to do it

(2) When the pedals are configured and attached via USB to your computer ,  in Pianoteq make sure you listen to all USB inputs . Go to Preferences menu , and select Devices Tab.
Then make sure you tick the box 'listen to all midi devices' ( quickest option)

(3) Make sure the pedal assignment in Pianoteq Corresponds to the pedal you added with right Midi Controller number identical to the one you have declared in Doremidi

How to use the Doremidi pedal configuration software , here is an example on how to configure a continuous sustain pedal in the 2nd input of one doremidi converter

(1) select the pedal number , ie in my examples its the 2nd pedal attached to a doremidi converter
(2) Choose the right type of pedal expression ( for continuous) or Switch for ( on off) Typically your DP 10 pedal  being continuous is going to be declared as an expression pedal, whereby a sustenato pedal would be declared as a switch

(3) when the type of pedal is selected , update the  DATA1 and DATA2 sections corresponding to the type of pedal you have connected

DATA1 will contain the controller number

Hope it helps
Cheers

That's absolutely amazing - I'll give this a try this evening!

Thanks!!

Yay! My digital piano now has more pedals than my acoustic piano!

Thanks again!!!
