    Hey y'all, just thought I'd help out and say that this is under the Show/Hide Automation button now. Click to Show automation and Sustain will be one of the choices in the drop down menu that pops up.

      Winner of a video, I've been looking for "what does middle pedal on piano do" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Danilliam Illustrious Dominance - (should be on google have a look ) ? It is a great one of a kind product for discovering how to learning piano fast minus the normal expense. Ive heard some amazing things about it and my friend got great success with it.

    Good basic introduction to sustain, with a minor and a major caveat. The minor one is that I would put the gap overlapping the ending note of the previous bar and the first note of the following.
    The major issue is the sustain pedal in piano is not at all a on/off switch. By pressing the pedal you actually control how much the dampers are lifted away from blocking the strings and between 0 to 127 there are a lot of nuances that modern piano emulators take into account, like Pianoteq, as an example.

  • @MichelleLockeymusic
    @MichelleLockeymusic 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    For whatever reason, The automation select tool , when selecting a region, is dragging the whole thing over, not copying it and dragging like you show. Do you select the area, then Copy and paste? That seems to be working for me rather than dragging. I have the latest update though so maybe it is working differently.

  • @igorsenayoutube

    I don´t mean to say what you teach here is wrong, i just would like to ask a question that also might help other confused people:
    I have seen several piano teachers teaching how to use the sustain pedal on similar pieces and they say to lift the pedal at the same time you press the chords(beggining in the second chord) and not to lift it earlier or later(like you teach here). I wonder if that is piece content related or a matter of taste?
    Also, why is the sustain pedal down in the first chord at the same time as the chord is played and not right after like the following chords?
    Thank you for this. Very well explained.

    Hey Josh, I was trying to figure out how to add gradual vibrato to a flute note (ESX24 sample) and came up empty; do you think you could do a video showing something like that (assuming it's possible -- the last note ringing out, getting increasing vibrato)? Thanks for all the great videos you post!

  • @grahamcmusic

    Thank you for this tutorial. I’m having trouble with Logic chasing the pedal down (127) position. I have an 8 bar section where the pedal is down throughout - when I loop to edit bar 2 or 3, the pedal position is not carried over from bar 1 even though I have ticked all the boxes in Logic's midi chase settings (under project settings). Can you help?

  • @tomlewis4748

    This is one way to create sustain, but it's a broadsword method. It makes sense for playing live, but there is a better technique for editing after the fact in MIDI. Live, it would be impossible to do, but in post-editing, it can be done and will work better. This other method is more a scalpel method.
    Essentially, sustain is the same as holding the note. You could create the same effect you have here by just extending all the notes to the end of the measure in the piano roll. But why neither of those really works well is because not all the notes are 'chord notes', to use the 'bass guitar' terminlogy.
    Your first measure has a D#, A#, D#, F#, A#, G#, F#, and F. All are 'chord notes' other than the G# and F. The other notes can sustain throughout the measure and sound fine, but the G# and F will be disonant along with the sustain, once those non-chord notes are invoked. That measure will sound much cleaner if the two A#'s stop ringing at the start of the G#, and the two F#'s stop ringing at the start of the F.
    It's subtle, but full sustain of the A#'s and F#'s will muddy the full track, especially in a dense mix, and fight with the G# and F. Add reverb and delay, and it gets even worse. Use a piano patch with sympathetic vibrations, and the harmonics will add even more dissonance if you simply sustain all the notes to the end of the measure.
    A better way is to simply drag all notes to the end of the measure (drag past the end then chop them all off with the Command > T function) then drag the A#'s back to stop ringing at the point the G# begins, and drag the F#'s back to where the F begins.
    The sustain you want to hear will still be there, but the dissonance will be absent, so the phrase will sound clearer and more distinct, especially in a mix, yet still have the same perceived sustain. That's nearly impossible to do when playing live, and 'sustain' would be either all or none. This method will be less dissonant. Try this on a Rhodes, which has much more sustain than the Steinway, and it will be much more apparent to the ear.
    One thing I consider important that many ignore is exactly where a note stops ringing. I've found that on a piano, typically, if you edit the notes to end at the 160-tick mark (slightly different for swung notes) this makes the attack of the following note clearer without raising the volume. Also much less blurry than having the notes extend to the start of the next note.
    So I do everything this way. It's intensive editing, but it makes a mix much clearer.

    • @grahamcmusic
      @grahamcmusic 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      I think you might find that extending the notes the way you speak of means that you only affect the legato but miss out on the overtones which is why I prefer the term damper to sustain pedal Maybe that is the way you like it . . . fair enough

  • @sercanavc8439
    @sercanavc8439 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Normally when i play the piano i can easily fade out the sound by slowly lifting up the pedal, but in midi keyboard i always find myself editing the values in DAW. Because the sustain pedal in midi keyboard operates with a binary logic (on/off) without any interval sensitivity. The midi value comes as either 0 or 127 as in this video.
    Is there any type of pedal or midi setting to generate interval values depending on the pressing intensity?

  • @roscofrosst493

    • @grahamcmusic
      @grahamcmusic 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Not sure if this is what you mean but if you go back in the track to replay a passage you may have to find a spot further back where the damper (sustain) pedal has been depressed ie not in mid depression of the pedal

      They took it out. What you can do is open the Piano Roll as he demonstrated in the video and then on the upper left corner click the "Functions" tab. At the scroll-down there should be an option that says "Convert sustain pedal to note length." Then you just extend each note so that it sustains to whatever length you want it to be. It worked for me. Hope it works for you.

    When I plug in my sustain pedal into my Alesis Q49 (no display) it works in reverse. There's no polarity switch on my sustain pedal. So when I press it down, it dampens and when I release the pedal, it automatically sustains. Hope you can help me out here.
