So I did one final thing and measured the voltage the keyboard puts out when the pedal is open. So my conclusion is that - in this situation - things can't work the right way. There are no related settings in the keyboard settings menu and having the pedal plugged in also doesn't seem to change anything. There is no documentation anywhere however that the LK-280 would support this. I conclude that my only chance to fix the issue is to have the LK-280 recognize a shorted jack connection as a released pedal and an opened / not connected jack as a depressed pedal. So whatever I do with holding or releasing the pedal while turning on the keyboard can't have any influence at all on how the pedal works. Also there is no intelligent logic / Integrated Circuit / Chip in the pedal, just two wires and a simple switch. There is no "reverse switch" on my pedal. It turns out that there is a simple switch in the pedal: pressing the pedal opens the switch (no connection), releasing the pedal closes the switch (jack is connected / shorted). So I went a bit further debugging the issue. I followed the suggested procedures, turning the keyboard on with the pedal plugged in, tried all kinds of combinations (holding the pedal down while powering on the keyboard, holding the pedal down while powering of the keyboard, pulling the power chord while the pedal is held down, all these in reverse, etc.) nothing helped. I have the same problem mentioned here, using a Casio LK-280 keyboard in combination with a Yamaha pedal. Has anyone found a workaround to get this to work correctly in MainStage 3? In any case I will be filing a bug report.Casio LK-280 with Yamaha Pedal - sustain reversed That way if you inadvertently trigger this problem you can quickly and reliably get it to stop.) (Aside: If you use MainStage in live performance one thing I would suggest is mapping a button or key to PANIC - I use the highest C on my keyboard. You don't always have enough fingers or hands available to hold the chord manually without dropping out notes, especially when there's also a page turn thrown in too!
#Mainstage 3 sustain pedal inverted Patch
The situation is usually that you're holding a chord and you need to switch patches in the middle of holding it so you can be ready to play a new patch at the beginning of the next measure. I regularly play in musical theatre pits and it's pretty common for there to be at least a few spots where the keyboard book is written such that it's a necessity to do this. Even so, MainStage 2.1.2 fixed the problem - it was specifically noted in the release notes. At the time I posted this question to the MainStage forum and got a response explaining the workaround. Most of the default concerts were already set up this way so unless you started with a blank one (as I did) or removed it you probably never ran into this problem. In that instance it was only a problem if you didn't have a sustain pedal control in your layout mapped to sustain. this worked fine in MainStage 1.x but was partially broken in MainStage 2 prior to version 2.1.2. The notes that were sustained from the previous patch are now stuck until you switch back to it and tap the sustain pedal (resulting in a sustain off message to that patch) or until you use MIDI PANIC to stop it.Ī bit of history. The problem simply seems to be that if you switch patches with the sustain pedal down, once you release the pedal the sustain off message gets routed to the current patch instead of the previous one where the notes were sustained. I don't think it has anything to do with how you switch patches (arrow keys, screen control mapped to a MIDI message, etc). I've also run into this problem with MainStage 3 and I'm unable to find a fix.
