theadman95 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Enjoyed Stephen Fortner's review of Garage Band in Keyboard magazine. My problem is the 'sustain' button on keyboards in Garage Band while playing with an external MIDI to USB keyboard. The sustain button seems to be either ON all the time or OFF all the time. It doesn't respond to damper pedal appropriately. If I hit the damper pedal, the sustain changes to ON all the time, and doesn't go off when I let up the damper pedal. Very frustrating - otherwise this would be great to play with external keyboard. Does anyone have a solution to this? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekewaka Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 What pedal and what USB keyboard? Some have issues transmitting sustain CC messages. I use KX61 and an M-Audio sustain pedal, not GarageBand but MainStage/Logic which is pretty much the same engine and MIDI environment and no problems.

Daniel Heslop Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Occasionally both with garageband and especially mainstage, If I open the program before turning on the usb keyboards, I run into these sorts of problems. When it happens, I close the program, turn off the keyboard, turn it back on and re-start the program, and it has always solved the problem for me. Stage: Korg Krome 88.
