SkipEB3 Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 I have a question about the SP33 pedal unit. I understand that the unit is necessary in order to have half-pedal, sostenuto and soft pedal functions on a 560 (and on a 160, as well). My question is… Are half-pedal, sostenuto and soft pedal MIDI messages transmitted (either via USB or MIDI port) to a computer running VST piano software, like Galaxy Vintage D or Ravenscroft 275? I've searched the Forum, and haven't been able to come up with a definitive answer. Thanks in advance. -Skip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pax-eterna Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Download and install MIDI-OX - its free! And simply press any button or control and it will show in in the display (of MIDI-Ox) if messages are being sent! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlenK Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 I think Skip doesn't have one yet so can't test what the keyboard outputs on MIDI when the pedals of the SP-33 are pressed. I intuit that he might not get one if it doesn't play nice with piano VSTs. Unfortunately, I don't know the answer to his question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkipEB3 Posted May 2, 2017 Author Share Posted May 2, 2017 Exactly, AlenK. I’ve got a PX-160 (which I’m totally digging) but I haven’t as yet used it for VST. I’ve been using a Yamaha P150 as a controller in my studio, and while I love the action, it doesn’t translate well with my software - Ivory or Galaxy. It’s not quite right with orchestral software, either. So, a new controller is in my future, and a 560 is on my short list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
