Hi... HELP! (Newbie)
I have a Yamaha Kx-8 midi controller plugged into Reason 8 Essentials. The sustain pedal works in reverse than I'm used to. Is there a general setting in reason that can address this, or do I need to go and find a pedal that will work the way I want it to work? It seems to me in my searching that it is indeed a hardware issue, but, I wanted to exhaust the possibilities of a setting that I just haven't found yet.
Merci!
Sustain pedal reversed
I think there is a way: Use the Thor modulation matrix:
1) [Sustain Pedal] -> [-100] -> [CV1 Out]
2) Combine the Thor and connect the CV1 Out of Thor with CV1 In from the Combinator
3) Insert the instrument you want to play (lets say Radical Piano)
3) Open the programmer of the Combinator and create [CV 1 In] as a source in your instrument (e.g. Radical Piano)
4) As target chose [performance] -> [(Sustain pedal)]
That should actually work (I hope so, never tried)

Did you plug the pedal in while your foot was on it? That'll do it.

there are two different types of sustain pedal - positive polarity and negative polarity.
you need the right polarity pedal for your keyboard - or a dual polarity pedal, which has a switch that lets you make it positive or negative.
also, as jonheal and joeyluck have indicated, if you step on the pedal while plugging it in, this can set the polarity opposite to what it normally is.
wrong pedal, polarity switch in wrong position, or stepping on pedal when plugging it in, will all cause the problem you are experiencing.
yamaha and roland are generally negative polarity. casio and korg are generally positive polarity, i don't know about akai
