- Set the connectivity type to either Tip or Ring, depending on the physical characteristics of your sustain pedal connector. This is important to ensure that the full VALUE range is interpreted correctly by the KOMPLETE KONTROL software. Please consult your sustain pedal's documentation for more information.
- Set the Type to Ctrl Change.
- Set the MIDI Channel to 1.
- Set the Number to 64 (if Tip connectivity is selected) or 65 (if Ring connectivity is selected).

The complete assignment for Sustain is summarized in the image below.
Expression
- Set the Mode to Cont (continuous).
- Set the Type to Ctrl Change.
- Set the MIDI Channel to 1.
- Set the Number to 11.
The additional parameters Invert and Swap T/R allow you to further customize the assignment according to the characteristics of your expression pedal model. Please consult the KOMPLETE KONTROL user manual as well as your pedal's documentation for more information. You may also Calibrate your pedal to ensure that the KOMPLETE KONTROL software interprets the full continuous RANGE correctly.
