Ignore sustain pedal

[d.healey]

Is there a way to disable the default behavior of the sustain pedal? I want to use it for other things and the "sustain" is getting in the way.

You could just add a script in the main container that changes the cc number and it would stop acting like a sustain pedal?

[d.healey]

Sounds simple enough :) would Message.ignoreEvent() have the same effect?

[Christoph Hart]

Yes but then your "other things" would not receive the message.

I've hit an issue with redirecting the sustain pedal CC to another CC number, if a later script is expecting CC64 it doesn't receive it.

[d.healey]

I'm playing with this more and I can't really see a difference between changing the controller number and using ignoreEvent. Either way later scripts can't pick up CC64 or the Synth.isSustainPedalDown() function. I think it would be good if there was a per synth/sampler option to disable the default sustain pedal behavior.

[Christoph Hart]

What if you ignore the sustain pedal in the last script of each synth?

[d.healey]

Yep that did it :) thanks!
