Oh, what a pity, for a nearly perfect piano, synth and controller. With two pedal inputs, I just assumed that the second one were an expression pedal. Even my old Roland U20 had expression input... I could use my Roland a500 controller (dp10 pedal -> a500 -> casio midi in) but I would like to avoid it. I'll probably wait for the px5s successor :-) Thank you, Massimo

Hi Nick, thank you for the answer, and thank you to Choppin and Scott too. Did you try to connect the DP-10 to the other pedal IN, and see if the Casio sends something on the MIDI OUT? A sequence of continuous CC messages would suffice to control software pianos like Pianoteq, that can be configured to get continuous sustain on any CC number (not necessarily CC #64). Please, can you try this quick experiment? I hope the message is clear, again sorry for my English. Massimo

Hi all, this is my first post on this forum and I'm considering buying a PX-5S. I would like to use partial sustain even if the PX-5S comes with only an on-off sustain IN. Is it possible to plug a sustain pedal like Yamaha FC3 or Roland DP10 into an expression IN of a keyboard? If the two kinds of pedals are electronically compatible with expression (not springed) pedals, I would expect to get expression (CC#11) continuous Midi signals when I press the pedal, so I could remap it with a software on sustain messages (CC#64) and control a vst like Pianoteq. Has anyone tried it? Thank you, sorry for my English, Massimo
