Does the MIDI In LED blink when you press the pedal?
If not, something's wrong with your keyboard/pedal.
If it does, try different presets to see if any of them sustain (the 
organs in MP-7 should).
I had a problem that some presets would sustain, while others won't.
Apparently, you have to set up a patchcord along the lines 
of "FootSW1 -> KeySust" for any layer you want to sustain.

Hope this helps,
Boris.
