KORG EXP-2 – Compact expression and volume pedal for keyboards and synthesizers

The KORG EXP-2 is a 2-in-1 foot controller that can function as an in-line volume pedal or as an expression pedal , controlling parameters on your instrument or processor. In Volume mode ( INPUT-1 → OUTPUT-1 connection) it features a minimum volume control that allows you to set the base level between 0 and ~50% - ideal for creating fades , swells , and maintaining a sound cushion when you lift your foot. In Expression mode ( OUTPUT-2 connection) it acts as a continuous controller via the included stereo TRS cable - perfect for modulating volume, filter, effects, or any assignable destination on your compatible KORG keyboard/synth. Its lightweight, compact chassis takes up little space on your pedalboard and offers smooth travel with a 3°–19° pedal angle .
