I posted this on Korg forum,but 47 people did not respond.


It is not the pedal,as I tried it and others with no response. These same pedals work fine on other keyboards I own. I also tried calibrating,no change. It had been working fine and nothing changed,to my knowledge.

Save all your settings and do a factory reset to see if this solves the problem. (Make sure you test it before you load your settings back)

If it’s ok after reset but the problem returns after you reload your settings, then you will have to look deeper into your settings to see what has changed, otherwise you will probably have to contact Korg as it might be a hardware fault.

could it possibly been changed by a songbook entry or a midi file? Have you tried a differant setting on the right hand to see if that is the problem maybe in performances. Just a thought. Sometimes just a little thing like that will drive you crazy. With me it's a short drive.

Bernie does sustain work via midi control? Hook up a another keyboard as a controller and see if sustain is active using the sustain jack on the controller. If it works, I would then think it is a hardware issue(Korg internal), if sustain does not work, most likely a settings issue on the Korg.

Bernie , also did you try assigning hold to the other pedal input? If it works then it is the sustain input problem.

Is it possible that the function of the sustain pedal was redirected to Upper 2, or another "live" keyboard part? Not too familiar with the newer Korgs, but Roland's have tons of options about which voices are affected by the pedal. My $.02.

This might too trite, but did you stay on the same style? Maybe that style sustain is unchecked.

check your lock settings menu for the pedal

You also might try assigning sustain to one of the EC5 switches, if you have an EC5.
As DNJ said, the global lock might be off and a file is changing it.

There is also a system check you can do. I'll try to find the steps, but I think you power on while holding down Style Mode and Media buttons. It lets you check pedals, joystick, etc and tells you if they are working.

Thank you one and all. I now have many avenues to explore. Sure funny the Korg forum didn't have one suggestion.
