Sustain Pedal Midi Keyboard

[Matt Darcy]

Hi guys,

I'm using a beringer midi keyboard plugged into my mac book pro via USB with some of the !Xpand sounds and the free air sounds (the grand piano is good).

I'd like to connect a foot switch to act as a sustain pedal as if it was a piano as at the moment the notes just thud, rather than ring.

Does protools 8 / Air virtual instrumentation respond to a sustain pedal ?
Do you need to set something up within protools to tell the keyboard that the pedal attatched is a sustain pedal?

Easy answers - yes and no, repectively.
