Transmission of continuous sustain information via MIDI

by Hans

I want to buy a digital keyboard or controller that can transmit MIDI information in real time to a computer that is running a program (e.g. Ivory or PianoTeq) that generates sounds that mimic a real acoustic piano.

I want to be able to attach a continuous sustain pedal, such as the FC3, rather than an on/off pedal, to the keyboard, and I want the information generated by the continuous sustain pedal (not just the on/off information about the sustain) to be included in the stream of MIDI information that goes to the computer.

Does anyone know of a Yamaha product that has these characteristics? (I have heard that the P155 can not transmit continuous sustain pedal information in the MIDI signal. I have also heard that the CP5 and CP50 may be able to, but I see no indication of this in the reference manual or owner's manual.)
