One of my past keyboards (I think it was the Kurzweil K1000) had what I'll call for lack of a better term a "freeze pedal." This was a seperate footswitch that allowed you to freeze selected notes while continuing to play other notes. I found this useful for many songs.

My SD-1 has a million alternatives for programming the foot switches...but not this feature. Are you able to do this with any of todays keyboards?

Thanks.

Bob

Hi Bob,

Perhaps I'm totally wrong, but isn't the sustain-pedal for this function ?
At least mine has this.

Most synths/arrangers have two kinds of sustain modes. One mode is a normal sustain, the other is a infinite sustain whereby all notes are held until the pedal is released or notes drop-off due to lack of polyphony when new notes are hit.

Roel and Al,

Thank you for your responses. I wasn't aware of the "infinite sustain" option. I'll try that on my SD-1.
