Of the three piano pedals I can only get Sustain to work; Sostenuto and Soft do not work.

    Like everything in VMPK, these controls only send MIDI events, they don't produce any audible effect. That is the role of the MIDI Synthesizer connected to VMPK. In this case, the controls send:
    Sustain: MIDI CC64
    Sostenuto: MIDI CC66
    Soft: MIDI CC67
    You can verify that the events are really sent, connecting a monitor program like aseqdump or kmidimon to the ALSA OUT port of VMPK.

    Some MIDI synthesizers do not understand these MIDI control change events, for instance FluidSynth only understands Sustain and Sostenuto

    If you want a Synthesizer that understands the three pedals, please try Pianoteq (https://www.modartt.com/try)
