What is a Sustain Pedal?
A sustain pedal (CC64) allows piano notes to ring out after you lift your
fingers. This app acts as a virtual sustain pedal for your keyboard or DAW.
What are Custom CC Sliders?
The app now allows you to add custom sliders for any MIDI Control Change (CC)
number. This lets you control volume, expression, filter cutoff, or any other parameter in your
synth directly from your phone.
What is a Modulation Wheel?
The Modulation Wheel (CC1) controls effects like vibrato or filter cutoff. Our
app includes a digital mod wheel next to the pedal.
What is a Pitch Shift Wheel?
Pitch Bend allows you to bend notes up or down like a guitar. The virtual wheel
snaps back to center automatically when released.
When to use a sustain pedal?
Use it to connect chords smoothly (legato) or build atmospheric layers. It’s
essential for expressive piano performance.
Is a Sustain Pedal a must-need?
Yes. Without it, piano sounds dry and robotic. This app ensures you always have
one with you.
Can I use a Wireless Sustain Pedal?
Yes! Our app sends MIDI over WiFi to your Mac or PC, eliminating cables.
What is a Virtual Sustain Pedal?
A Virtual Sustain Pedal (CC64) allows piano notes to ring out after you lift your
fingers. This app transforms your phone into that exact controller, sending MIDI over WiFi or
USB to your computer. We use the full name because we want the technology to be easy to
understand for everyone.
Is this helpful for physically impaired musicians?
Yes! This is one of our most important features. The Virtual Sustain Pedal
provides a high-performance alternative for users who cannot operate traditional foot pedals,
allowing for full expressive control using only their hands or touch inputs.
How does it compare to TouchOSC?
While TouchOSC is a “Swiss Army Knife” for advanced mapping, Virtual Sustain
Pedal is a specialized “Scalpel”. It is pre-configured with zero manual setup required,
featuring physics-based wheels that feel like real instrument hardware.
Can I use it as a Wireless Sustain Pedal?
Yes! Our app sends MIDI over WiFi to your Mac or PC using WebRTC, eliminating the
need for cables and specialized hardware receivers.
