How To Reverse the Polarity/Signal on your Sustain Pedal in Logic Pro

If like me you have a Roland sustain pedal you'll have probably found it works the wrong way round in logic! In this video I walk you through how to reverse the signal/polarity of the sustain pedal so that it functions properly!

1. this fucking saved my live 2. ONE OF THE BEST tutorials I've seen in a while. No fancy editing just straight forward no paywall GOOD JOB THANK YOU

[@TomOneDJ]

Hi DropBlog thank you so so much for that comment! Really appreciate it and glad I could help :)

[@zamwoodbury9773]

Amazing, thanks Tom! For those of you using Logic 10.7.4, the Midi Transform menu isn't listen on the Window tab but you can access it with Command 0

[@AdrianJonathanMusic]

This comment saved my life lol.. Thanks

[@samdrewjones]

What @@AdrianJonathanMusic said!

[@christiankwizera5942]

thanks you saved me too:)

[@melodypudding]

thank you ... another life saved by this comment here.

[@littlepigboy]

2 years later and this came to the rescue for me. Thank you very much.

[@AMSAV]

Omg this works wonders. I've been plugging my sustain pedal in and out for countless times. Thanks! Life saver.

[@stepho-music]

hey tom, I've come to your video maybe 10 times in the past month. thanks for making things so clear!

[@ultrasonic736]

Thank you so much! This has happened to me so many times and it's so annoying. Most people online say to just hold the pedal down as you turn on the keyboard, but it never works for me! This saved everything! Thank you.

[@euliskay]

Thank you so much! I've been scouring the interwebs for an age looking for this info and here it is, clean and crisp, and to the point!

[@TomOneDJ]

No problem! Happy to help :)

[@samueljenkinsmusic7118]

Thank you!!!! I couldn't find any other video that talked about this, but yours worked amazingly well. Suuuuuper grateful.

[@TomOneDJ]

No worries dude glad I could help you out!

[@roberthoem]

Perfect! Was away from home with older Kong keys and Roland pedal where sustain was opposite. Thought I was sunk, but then I tried this and in 2 minutes I was all fixed! Great video and well explained. Thanks so much. I’m a subscriber now.

[@TomOneDJ]

no problem dude! Glad it helped :)

[@mikef3426]

Single-handedly the most straightforward informative video I’ve ever seen. Thanks so much! Now I have to figure this out in Cubase….🤦🏻

[@joannawheeler8441]

You are awesome. Took me about 30 mins to find this video but stoked becuz it is the fix I was looking for. Thank you! Liked and Subscribed :)

[@BrodieKellyMusic]

You're a legend for this. Bought a sustain pedal the other day, it worked normally for 2 days then opened up a session today and it was reversed. Big help dude!

[@TomOneDJ]

Ah no worries man glad I could help!!! :) this video is proving really useful to a lot of people!!

[@fattmoleyy]

FINALLY - Thank you so much. This is the only thing that worked. Yamaha Pedal here.

[@wesjdorethy]

You made my whole year with this thank you.

[@mangabeiranilopolis]

[@adrianzendeh1480]

THANKS you soooo much - I was looking for this for a while now

[@MrDubstep09]

Great thanks very much for the concise and informative video. Had exactly the same issue with my Nord sus pedal, great stuff!

[@TomOneDJ]

no problem! :)

[@ElvisEtv]

You respect other people's time, that's so cool of you. You got a thumbs up from me

[@tucacamargo9294]

THANK YOU VERY MUCH for taking your time to share your knowledge. It saved me a lot of time and money. No to say , a job !!! Tks Tks Tks

[@juniorflores5889]

Brilliant!! Worked like a charm!

[@justin.johnson]

This was brilliant, thank you! It fixed an outstanding issue in Logic but then messes up jumping out to play in Luna or standalone instruments. I just went and bought two new Proline sustain pedals with the polarity switch. My old Roland pedal only works with one of my keyboard, now they all work with no workaround hack.

[@TomOneDJ]

Thank you for the comment! Glad to have helped

[@TomOneDJ]

Hey dude! Glad to have helped out! Yeah you can do it the physical way but found you could do it in the software! :) which saves the DIY! Nice one dude hope the productions go well! :)

[@thomashoonhout4015]

Thank you so much for your help. First I connected it to my external audiodriver (which are close to each other in the Psychical Input field - so please look close if you have the same problem like me. Because I connected it to my audiodriver it did not work of course and because of that I also did not get the sign 'Data Byte 1') Hope this helps someone else. Have good day folks!
