Korg EXP-2 Foot Controller / Expression Pedal
Brand
KORG
Unlock dynamic, hands-free expression and volume articulation from your keyboard rig. The Korg EXP-2 is a versatile, professional-tier foot controller engineered to function interchangeably as either an expression pedal or a passive volume controller. Built with a tough, lightweight molded chassis and smooth-action mechanical tracking, this reliable performance tool allows synthesists, organists, and digital pianists to organically alter filter sweeps, modulation depth, and real-time volume levels while keeping both hands firmly on the keys.
The Korg EXP-2 is a compact and lightweight foot controller designed to function as either a volume pedal or an expression pedal for compatible Korg keyboards, synthesizers, and music production equipment. It provides smooth, real-time control over parameters such as volume, modulation depth, effects intensity, and other assignable functions depending on the connected device.
Built for portability and practicality, the EXP-2 features a simple treadle-style design that is easy to integrate into both studio setups and live performance rigs. It is commonly used by keyboardists and performers who require hands-free control over sound dynamics without adding complex pedal systems.
The pedal supports dual functionality: when connected via its input and output configuration it can operate as a volume control pedal, while its expression output allows it to be used as a modulation or parameter control source. A built-in minimum volume control lets users set a floor level, ensuring consistent performance control during live use.
Its compact footprint and lightweight construction make it suitable for mobile setups, rehearsal spaces, and stage environments where space and portability are important considerations.
