Sustain pedal with C2?

Post by Quai34 »

Why, there is no sustain pedal on a B3, so, when do you use it? Isn't the sound/effect weird?

The C2 can also be used as a master keyboard (sending velocity too) as you can read in the manual, so Sustain pedal is good to have ;)

With regards to using it with the C2 internal engine, it depends on the usage intention: you may want to hold a chord and then play with drawbars or other settings with the freed hand (?); yes not possibile on a real B3, but clones have the capability to extend rather than just replicate, can't they?

Okay.....yes, as I usually use the Stage 2 as a master keyboard, I 've never thought about this one....and to sustain a chord....ok, thanks....

Also, if you're out without your pedalboard, you can use a sustain pedal to give you; literally, pedal notes that would otherwise tie up one or more fingers on the manuals.
