Kawai Legend Random Sustain Activated – Premier Sound Factory Forum

Hi BuckShotLeJazz,

Thank you for purchasing Kawai Legend, and sorry to hear about this issue.

We haven’t been able to reproduce this yet, but since it doesn’t happen with other piano libraries using the same MIDI file, we want to investigate this properly on our side as well.

Could you please let us know:

1. Your OS, DAW, and Kontakt / Kontakt Player version
2. Your MIDI keyboard and sustain pedal model – is it a simple on/off pedal, or a continuous / half-pedal type?

And if you could try these two checks, it would really help us narrow it down:

A) Disconnect the sustain pedal completely, and play back the MIDI file only – does the sustain still turn on by itself?
B) When it happens, does the pedal indicator in Kawai Legend light up, and does a MIDI monitor in your DAW / Kontakt show CC64 actually being sent at that moment?

If you have a short MIDI file that reliably reproduces it, please send it to us – that would let us test it directly with the exact same data.

Thank you for reporting this, we’ll look into it.

Best regards,
Premier Sound Factory
