Pedals
Grand Rhapsody supports the two most common piano pedals.
Sustain Pedal
This is the essential sustain, “damper,” pedal, connected to controller 64, which is the standard. When pressed, the Sustain
resonance LED will light, indicating that sustain resonance is active. The sustain pedal is momentary—when using the pedal
and when clicking on the interface. However, using MIDI-learn will provide a “latched” behavior, where first the press sets
sustain on and it stays on until the next press.
Soft pedal
The soft pedal simulates offsetting the hammers so that they strike fewer strings. This results in a softer sound. Soft pedal is
connected to controller 67, which is standard. The soft pedal is momentary when using its original assignment of controller
67. However, clicking from the interface or changing MIDI assignment using MIDI learn results in a “latched” behavior, where
the first press sets soft pedal on, and it stays on until the next press.
The pedal icons can be used on the interface when you do not have a dedicated hardware sustain or soft pedal. The sustain
pedal Is momentary. The soft pedal is a toggle and will stay pressed until it’s clicked again.

Both show up and can be recorded via MIDI or via automation, but not at the same time.
Both pedals will trigger pedal noise samples. The level of this sound is controlled in the mix section by a single Pedal volume
control (see below).
