How to setup a Yamaha FC3A as a continuous sustain pedal?

[Soundsurfer8000]

How do I setup a Yamaha FC3A as a continuous sustain pedal aka half-pedal?
When plugging the FC3A into the sustain port of my KeyLab 61 MKII it currently only works as a switch.

Does anyone have a solution for this issue?

Ok found the solution myself

In case anyone encounters the same issues as me:
1. Open the MIDI Control Center
2. Click the the sustain port in the main view
3. Change the mode from "Switched control" to "Control" (Enables the half-pedaling function)
4. Invert the values from 127 to 0 as well as 0 to 127 (Needed to do this because the FC3A doesn't have a polarity switch)
5. Go the device settings and change the continuous sustain values to about 16 and 107 (I had to this to correct the min/max values to the full range of 0 to 127; my FC3A only sent 16 to 110 by default, so I need to expand it to its full range)

I wish Arturia would provide presets for different pedals in the MCC. Or at least a support page with tutorials for the most used pedals.

Hi there,

Looks like you are a few days ahead of me. Thanks for sharing your instructions! I got myself a Yamaha FC3A to connect to my Keylab29 mkII and your instructions helped me to get it to work.

Thanks!

I have bought an arturia MKII 88
I'm looking for a continuous sustain pedal

I have tried the Korg DS-1H and it does not work.

Do you know if (apart from the yamah fc3) the Roland DP-10 model works?

Thanks!!

Sorry

I have managed to configure the Korg pedal (continuous sustain) through an auxiliary pedal input of the arturia mkII
works perfectly as a continuous sustain pedal.

I have tested it with Pianoteq 7 from Main Stage
