Mainstage B-3 Sustain During Patch Change

I want the vintage B-3 to sustain using my sus. pedal while I change patches. This works fine with strings and other instruments, but specifically not with the vintage B-3.

I already have my sustain pedal set to control sustain instead of motor speed, I have already tried "defer patch change" in performance mode, it had no effect. Any ideas are much appreciated!

Midi sustain pedal not recording After I have updated my software to Logic Pro X 10.4.5, the sustain pedal of my Midi device (Technics keyboard) does not register or record. The pedal works when playing the keyboard, but as soon as I record MIDI, the sustain appears to be switched off. I can see that no values are coming through when I step on the pedal and playback also produces a recording without and sustain. Everything was working before the upgrade, so this is not a hardware problem or a problem with my Midi device, it has to be the new software. Can anyone please help?

PEDAL SUSTAIN Logic Pro x HI! I reset my computer I restart all my plugins vst etc...logic works wonderfully but when I plug my synth it won't listen to my pedal sustain ...I ve tried it on fl studio 20 and works like a charm on it, but for recording piano my only choice is Logic Pro X (way superior but without my sustain pedal is kinda useless). Usually I never had to enable or touch anything ..logic always detected my sustain pedal automatically...now I ve tried to enable it somewhere but I wasnt able to find anything...please tell me what I need to do!! thanks

logic Logic is somehow translating expression (CC11) message into audible volume changes in a variety of virtual instruments. For example, a virtual piano gets louder and softer when I record CC11 changes, even though the recorded controller messages show up in Logic as expression, NOT volume changes. When mapping an expression pedal to sweep pedal frequency of a virtual wah-wah, the volume changes concurrently with the frequency in a totally unnatural way, even though the controller messages showing up in Logic are all CC11, NOT CC7. And yes, I know that volume is affected at the extreme ends of wah sweeps. This is different; it's a smooth volume change throughout the range of the sweep. I've tried creating a brand new project with only one Logic-native instrument, and the same problem occurs, My keyboard is a Studiologic SL88 Grand, and the software control panel for the keyboard shows the pedal is mapped to CC11, NOT CC7. My version of Logic is 10.4.8, running under 10.14.6. Apple tech support can't help me unless I upgrade to current version of Logic, which I'm not willing to do. Can anyone help me to sort out why Logic is always responding to CC11 messages with volume changes?

I tried that out. So, if you set the motor control to off, the notes of the vintage b3 keep playing, if the sustain pedal is pressed. Even if I switch to the next patch. So, it worked out of the box.
