I bought a 1987 Roland HP-800 and am using the MIDI DIN as midi to be sent to mainstage. Whenever I release the notes, they are cut off immediately. Not sure why. The sustain pedal doesn't hold them out either, only when notes are played MIDI. Also, this ONLY happens inside of MainStage, not Logic Pro.

Does this only happen with the HP-800 or with any MIDI keyboard?
Take a look using MIDI Monitor (free from Snoize) to see what the HP-800 is sending and, in particular, if the sustain control message is correct and on the same channel as the notes.
Congratulations to your vintage finding! IIRC, those were the days, where MIDI implementation were very diverse, basically, no manufacturer was compatible with others. In your case, it might well be, that the Piano send an all notes off command after the last note has been released.
You can use the Scripter MIDI plug-in to inspect this and this script to filter out this nuisance:
function HandleMIDI(event) {
if (event instanceof ControlChange && event.number === 123) {
return;
}
event.send();
}
Hope this helps!
This only happens with the MIDI keyboard. I'm currently using a wireless MIDI transmitter, so i'm not sure if MIDI monitor will work properly. I ordered a wired MIDI DIN cable from amazon, so maybe I can see when it comes
The sustain and the notes are being sent on channel 1.
Hilahoop, did you try the Scripter plug-in with script given above?
