Normally if I click once than it should it
start recording, and if I click a second time it should continue in playback
modus. But instead sometimes it is undoing the latest recording and then
going into playback. And sometimes it records while the pedal is down and
then plays when the pedal is released. I am using a normal pedal that was
connected to my e-piano as a sustain pedal....? Is it the wrong type of
pedal...?
Sustain pedals can sometimes be analog, i.e. sending an electric
pulse. Better would be to use a pedal that sends MIDI. Some MIDI
pedals can send many MIDI events at one button press and when that
happens it is just random luck if the right event arrives frist to the
software. If another event arrives first something else, or nothing,
will happen.
You can use anything that sends MIDI if kicked, not necessarily a
dedicated pedalboard. I have an old MC303 here with buttons big
enough to be used as pedals. An old drum machine of any kind would do
fine if you can stomp the buttons.
