The reason why I have not realised this, was because during these few months working with FL Studio, I was mostly using my Korg Nanokey2. I was expecting the sustain to be recorded on controller #64, and graph-ed out on the editor in a manner that's very close to the velocity graph. In other words you cannot record notes without sustain, then drop into recording again to 'touch up' on a few sustains that you failed to record into the take the first time round. The thing that so surprised me was that FL Studio does not record pedal events! The events get translated into note durations upon real-time recording. One of the results that came out was this startling article from KeyboardMagazine: I Googled 'FL Studio sustain pedal events'. While hooking up my M-Audio Keystation Pro 88 to my laptop, and trying to iron-out my music-making workflow, I stumbled upon a big problem: I could not find the sustain pedal event being recorded into FL Studio!
