[LAU] M-Audio 88es Keyboard

[Raphaël Mouneyres]

To me, connecting the midi first or after should have no influence,
midi is kind of hot plug.

On another hand, some keyboards need to have the pedal connected
*before* powering on the keyboard, so the polarity of the pedal is
correctly recognised.

You can check with a midi monitor if the pedals affects sending the
"Note off" messages, instead of just listening to the sound produced
by the sampler
