Using sustain pedal as another instrument
Basically I want to be able to play some drum parts with feet, is there a way to program something to be able to do that? Or would I need a separate pedal?

Re: Using sustain pedal as another instrument
Your question implies that you currently play some drum parts with your hands, or at least, something other than your feet How do you play the 'other' drum parts now?

I guess that you can use mididings to convert damper pedal on/off to note on.

It basicly starts from question how your pedal is connected? Do you get some midi message from it?
