Hey Mike,
Did you check in Sam's midi editor to see whats going on?

I just looked in the midi editor, and it actually doesn't seem to be tracking the sustain in there....strange, because upon playback, the sustained notes are all audible, but in the program itself, they aren't being tracked?

I'm not sure how that's possible...Am I not tracking/playing back something properly?

I'm pretty new to the whole midi game.

I'm confused. In your first email you said:

...upon playback, the areas where I was running off the sustain pedal seem to cut out

Then in your next one you say:

upon playback, the sustained notes are all audible

So what is the problem? I don't understand exactly what the problem is but I'll take a stab at it anyway.

When you use the sustain pedal on a note it doesn't change the actual MIDI note data. The sustain pedal information is transmitted as a midi controller on control number 64. Look in your software for where it displays midi controller information and then look on the specific midi channel you are using for the sustain pedal information.

Sorry, I meant upon playback of the exported wav/mp3 file the sustain wasn't showing up.

I figured it had something to do with a midi channel being misconfigured, but I wasn't sure how to go about fixing it.

What exactly should I be looking for?

I think I figured it out....I went into the Midi controller options, and made sure that ctrl 64 is visible and active on channel 1....

Seems to work thus far...Thanks!
