M-AUDIO SP-2 Universal Sustain Pedal with Piano Style Action For MIDI Keyboards, Digital Pianos and More

I bought this sustain pedal along with the Williams Legato 88 Key-Keyboard and I am so happy with it! Most importantly it works extremely well! Sometimes, when playing piano, I may adjust my seating and when the time comes to press the sustain pedal I have moved slightly out of position to press it down fully. But the pedal picks up the signal and it sets the sustain just as I would expect from a real piano. The reason I am mentioning this is because I do know of some plastic sustain pedals for keyboards that DO NOT set the sustain unless you press that pedal all the way to the base and I do not like that. This can get you in a bad habit of "stomping" the sustain pedal which will lead to damaging the pedal and it creates a subtle but none the less audible "thud" in grand pianos. However, this pedal is forgiving and it never get's stuck in a pressed position (again, like some plastic pedals I know of) The pedal has a rubber grip that covers the whole underside to prevent from sliding and it has weight to it which is really important. When I press down on the pedal it always remains stationary and the feel/resistance from the pedal is spot on with that of a baby grand piano (which Is what I play on when I'm at my mother's home - I grew up with the instrument.) Underneath the pedal (on the base, not the pedal) there is a raised rubber stopper which prevents the pedal from every touching the plastic base. This is fantastic because you will never hear "tap" sound when pressing the pedal down all the way. It also doesn't have noisy springs inside which make a subtle crackling/popping sound when compressing and expanding. I have heard these affects on other plastic sustain pedals. This pedal is excellent quality. Not only does it feel right, it also looks fantastic. The sturdy plastic case is a nice solid black and the chrome pedal itself is just gorgeous! It is a smooth round shape at the end which I prefer - it looks really nice. It comes with a small plastic cover for the chrome portion (doesn't cover the whole thing, just the majority). It is a sturdy cover, not just a cheap and flimsy one to keep it safe during shipping, it is part of the product. It fits snugly when attached, doesn't slide and is easy to remove. I have decided to keep it on just too keep the chrome shiny for as long as possible. It is a pedal to be proud of. The cable is long (~6ft), perhaps longer that necessary for any setup I can think of but regardless; I would much rather prefer too long than too short when it comes to cables. I am sure anyone else would obviously agree. The plug is the standard 1/4 inch and it too is well made. It isn't flimsy. The only issue I experience (know before reading the rest that it may not be an issue with the pedal) is having the sustain pedal invert when I turn on the piano. This means that pedal will set it's sustain while unpressed and shut of the sustain when pressed. This only happens rarely which is strange - might happen from pressing down the pedal while powering on the keyboard but I'm not sure. Either way, It really doesn't bother me so much. If this issue occurs for you it is easily fixed by powering off the keyboard, removing the plug, putting it back in and turning the keyboard back on. However, I can't say it is even the pedal's fault because it could just as easily be the keyboard's fault (which I think is more likely and makes more sense). I just thought this would be fair to mention just in case it is the pedal. To sum it up - I can't see any other pedal performing better, feeling better or looking better than this pedal at this price or even more! It is an excellent choice! I recommend it.

Solid, Piano-Style Sustain Pedal That Feels Right I’ve been using the M-Audio SP-2 with my digital piano, and it’s one of those accessories that instantly makes playing feel more authentic. The pedal has a good amount of resistance—not too stiff, not too loose—so it feels close to a real acoustic piano pedal. The rubber base keeps it from sliding around, even on hardwood floors, and the build feels sturdy enough that I expect it to last for years of practice and performance. I also like that it comes with a polarity switch, which means it works with just about any keyboard or digital piano. Plug it in, flip the switch if needed, and you’re good to go. It really is plug-and-play without any fuss. If I had to point out a small thing, it’s that the spring feels slightly lighter than on some higher-end pedals, but it’s consistent and very responsive. For the price point, it’s hard to beat. Bottom line: A reliable, well-built sustain pedal that gives a piano-like feel at a very fair price. Great pick for anyone wanting to add realism to their digital playing setup.

I couldn’t be more pleased with this sustain pedal—at any price. The company even includes a very generous cable length, which made it simple to route through my studio desk’s cable management system. The build feels premium: it’s heavy enough to stay in place without sliding. Most importantly, pianists will appreciate that it feels just like a “real” piano pedal—responsive, solid, and reliable. An affordable, high-quality pedal that delivers exactly what it should.

I like having the adjustment knob which allows me to set the silent point of the travel at the physical stop. The adjustment is a bit sensitive, and slightly difficult to set exactly. Also, there is a tiny bit of free play in the pedal linkage, which makes precision a bit less than I would like. The mechanism, a slotted lever and round pin, is very standard for foot pedals, and I am being overly picky about that. I am comparing this to a Studiologic VP-27, which I have nearly worn out. The VP-27 uses a nylon rack and pinion gear system, which is slightly more precise. Overall, this is a very good expression pedal, which should work well for nearly any expression pedal application using a TRS plug.

I really like this Universal Sustain Pedal. It has a nice, piano-style feel, responds smoothly, and works well with my digital piano. The build quality overall is solid. However, the grip on the bottom definitely needs improvement. It’s always slippery on my carpet, and I have to stop frequently to reposition it. Better traction would make a huge difference. Overall, it’s a good pedal with great functionality, but the lack of stability on carpet holds it back.

Good product

ギシギシ音がなります。油を差せばなおるかも

Ordentliches Pedal mit vollwertigem Mikroschalter, gutem Stand mit rutschfester Gummisohle. Nur das billige Kabel ist Störrisch und liegt nicht gut. Das zickige Kabel wurde durch ein gutes, dünnes Studio-Mikrofonkabel und passendem Neutrik Klinkenstecker ausgetauscht. Gut: Das Pedal lässt sich problemlos auseinander bauen und einfach modifizieren. Auch die Zugentlastung kann man vom original Kabel abtüddeln und weiter nutzen. Mechanisch sehe ich keinen Anlass zur Kritik. Nach dem Umbau ist es ein günstiges und gutes Pedal. Die Federkraft ist relativ hoch, Geräusche macht es keine und der Plastikschutz hält gut auf dem Chrom-Pedal.

Bestellt am 18. Mai 2023 für €15,00. Klein, günstig und robust. Ich steuer damit Start/Stop vom meinem PSR-SX900 Keyboard. Klappt prima. Gut ist der Polaritätsschalter. Denn nicht jedes Device ist da gleich geschaltet.
