This is for DK technicians such as Carol or others. I have been told that the pedal sensor on my "vintage" G1 wagon grand only records full or half pedal. I have tested this and it appears that the pedal is grey scale and records minute movements. If I slowly depress the pedal and slowly release it, the playback is smooth and continuous right from off to full and back again. So. Is the pedal on my Mk1 grand grey scale or not?
