Yes, midi sustain is either on or off, where anything from 63 and below
is OFF and 64 and above is ON. So velocity sensitive pedals should exist
(I haven't looked into it). eg sustain message 120 would be a loud ON
and 35 would be a moderate OFF.
MIDI sustain is just another CC message and can have any value from 0 to
127. Some sustain _pedals_ (and the interface they connect to) are only
on/off, and there the convention is 0 for off and anything from 64 and
above is on.
I have a continuous sustain pedal which I plugged into the expression
controller jack on my keyboard to use it fully, however out of all the
soft-synths I have used, only Pianoteq actually does anything with the
extra information.
Ah, yes, that makes sense. Also in the light that yamaha seems to sell a
poor variant of everything, so I get 3 states instead of 128. Well, as
long as there's basically no synth/sampler that uses the information it
doesn't matter a lot.
