sustain pedal not working

Who knows with this keyboard. Supposedly all support for it in the way of firmware, drivers and VST/AU plug-in ability has vanished. You notice that the last firmware was 2011. It's a great keyboard with awesome analog sound and key action. Hopefully the M-Audio guy can tell me how to fix it.

I would try redoing the last Firmware update.

I had the same issue. My wife purchased the Venom through Sweetwater. They called to follow up on how I liked it and I asked about the sustain pedal showing as CC119 in MainStage. Sweetwater's tech support replied back to me and asked if the Arp Latch was on. Once I turned off the Arp Latch the sustain pedal worked normally.

When using the Venom as a controller, first verify if the patch that is selected in Venom doesnt have the arpeggiator on. Its the left button above the octave down button.

(sound of bat crack) Home Run!

That did it man! Unbelieveable. I'm still going back and forth with my M-Audio guy. I wonder how long it will be before he suggests that lol?

Thank you so much. Now back to the music... (without a special Transform template). I must say I love Logic for that and other special features I find everytime I use it. I've pretty much stopped using Pro Tools and Cubase (and I just upgraded to Cubase 7). I find Logic, well, logical. Will be nice to see X.

Peace Logic fans, and thanks again.

You're welcome! Good to hear that worked for you as well!

I reached out to M-Audio at the same time I spoke with Sweetwater. I replied to M-Audio with the fix but they never replied back. Hopefully your M-Audio tech got the info!

Keep rockin'!!

Definitely will. I gave the fix to the M-Audio guy so hopefully the next person with this issue won't have to go through a long troubleshooting process.

An unusual problem and a great fix! Glad to hear you got it working.

Hi Luka,

I read that you have a Yamaha P-95 working with Logic. I own the same keyboard and I'm having a hard time making it work with Logic. Would you mind sending me the steps of you connected the keyboard and subsequently made it work with Logic X.

I'm sorry for not being here to answer your quesiton but you'd be helping me massively. By the way, I opened a new discussion asking the same question as well.

Thank you.

I just now ran into this problem almost a year after this post. I've been scratching my head for a week trying to figure out what's wrong with this thing. I assumed it was just a problem with the Venom frimware. I was about to drop $200 on a new MIDI controller. Haha. I love the Venom sound; and wouldn't want to give it up, but I NEED it to control MIDI as well. What a strange bug... Thanks for noticing; it works great now; and that saves me a lot of trouble. 🙂.

Thank you! Thank you! I've had this problem for sooo long, and you solved it for me.

Switch the channel on my oxygen 49 to c.02, better than bypassing controller cause i have a logic control.

hope this helps.
