Midi Pedaling and Disklavier
By Bob Fitterman

I erred on the channel number for the sustain pedal: it's controller 64 not 65, as Robbie pointed out.

Can someone else look at the MIDI file and tell me what you see regarding the values of this controller? I see it on Channel 1, having full and half-level values. No intermediate values were shown. Perhaps my sequencer screwed up when the file was read in, or something else is amiss.

Thanks,

[ Disklavier pedal position data is channel 3, and may have any value,
[ 0 to 127. The binary damper events (or synth "pedal") on channel 1
[ should be only 0 or 127. Midi spec says 64 or above is "pedal on".
[ If your Midi data is in error, try operating on the controller data
[ with "subtract 64" followed by "multiply by 2". -- Robbie
