Half-pedaling

[Reveirg]

Hi!

I just ordered Ivory II (looking forward to it!), and I will be using my Nord Stage 1 Revision B as a MIDI controller.
What I'm looking to add to my setup is a sustain pedal that supports half-pedalling, since Ivory II supports it.

Now, I know the Nord Stage 1's sustain jack doesn't support continuous MIDI messages (0-127).
However, I was wondering if the following could work:

-Using a pedal that supports half-pedalling (say, the Roland DP-10)
-Plugging it in the Organ Swell Pedal jack (which supports continuous messages, from what I understand)
-Rerouting CC4 (swell) input to CC64 (sustain) in my DAW

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Your idea will work, I tried the same once but connecting the DP10 to the EXP input of an Edirol master keyboard.

Using the Swell inout causes the problem that the NS will interpret and use it too for its Organ, unless... maybe putting it in Local OFF would solve.

I finally got around to purchasing a continuous sustain pedal.

However, I can't find how to redirect its signal to CC64.

Cubase recognizes the pedal as CC4 (gettings values from 0 to 127, as it should). Is there an easy way to redirect CC4 to CC64 inside Cubase?

You should find how on Cubase manual or... you may want to watch this video...
