NS4 - Sustain P. /Midi OUT/ Problem

Post by RayZer »

Hello!

I have an issue with my NS4. I want to send the sustain pedal commands from the NS4 via MIDI Out to a second keyboard. But, I don't want to send any MIDI commands from the keys (only the sustain pedal commands).
With the NS3, I solved this by using the EXTERN section. By double-pressing the Zone Select button, the lights turned off, and only the sustain pedal commands (without keys) were sent. This worked perfect.

Now with the NS4, I can't deactivate the KB Zone, so I can't send pedal commands without also sending key commands. Or am I doing something wrong?
(Of course, I can split the keyboard and, for example, only send the keys commands from the top few keys, but that's rather a stupid workaround.) Does anyone have another idea?

Cheers, Ramon

:( So sad, that shouldn't be such a big deal...
