Title: Sustain Pedal not working with reason 6.5
Post by: mswlogo on November 24, 2012, 05:48:15 am

The Sustain Pedal works fine with the Arturia software.

It works fine with reason 6.5 is I use generic MIDI KeyBoard.

But when I tell reason it's a Arturia Analog Experience 49 the Sustain Pedal won't work.

It does not show it being mapped.

If I map it, it works with pedal up, but once down it effectively stays down.

reason works fine using same pedal on a Novation KeyBoard.

This looks like a reason 6.5 problem but I was not sure if there was any work around I could try from the Arturia side of things.

Fixed

With Reason Closed

Goto C:\ProgramData\Propellerhead Software\Remote\Codecs\Lua Codecs\Arturia
Edit AE49.LUA

Replace
      {name="suspedal", input="button"},
With
      {name="suspedal", input="value", min=0, max=127},

And

Replace
      {pattern="b0 40 xx", name="suspedal", value="1"},
With
      {pattern="b0 40 xx", name="suspedal", value="x"},

In Reason Delete the AE49 Keyboard and Add it Again (probably not be required but won't hurt)

Under Option Menu->Addition Remote Overrides...
Select "Damper Pedal"
Hit Edit...
Step on Pedal a couple times (it should fill in all the fields)

This last step needs to be done per project file. I don't know how to set it for all projects.
I tried to figure out why it does not map it in the first place by default but gave up.

By the way I got ZERO response filing a Ticket with Arturia.
At least Reason responded blaming Arturia for broken Codec.

I'm not sure who is responsible for the LUA Codec files for Arturia Keyboards.

Hey mswlogo

Good knowledge! thanks for sharing.

This is only a problem if you ask Reason to auto find the device automatically. It must be a broken codec from the Auto set up. I find if you manually add a control surface, go to other and use MIDI Multichannel Control Keyboard, name your keyboard and by click find, then hit a note on the Arturia keyboard it sets it up fine and the sustain pedal works as normal. This must bypass that LUA file and create a new one.

Thanks, Stuart
