Title: keylab 88 continuous expression pedal
Post by: mac.tad on September 30, 2015, 01:01:30 pm

Hello everyone,

I just became a proud owner of the Keylab88. I noticed my sustain pedal is only on/off so it doesn't utilise all possibilities of some software like pianoteq, which use intermediate steps for pedaling.

I read here http://www.arturia.com/faq/utilization/handling-sustain-pedals-with-my-kl88 (http://www.arturia.com/faq/utilization/handling-sustain-pedals-with-my-kl88) that the keylab88 also handles the continuous expression pedals. Do you have any recommendation? I sometimes play classical pieces so it would be good to have a piano-like feel. I know, nothing replaces the real instrument...

Pianoteq recommends Yamaha FC3 or Roland RPU-3. Maybe some of you tried it with Arturia gear?

Thanks for help!
Maciej

In case anybody has a similar question, I bought Roland DP-10 and it works well with the keylab. You have to set it up for the continuous mode and then calibrate it in your VST instrument. Makes a real difference when playing classical music.
