These guys are awesome:
Audiofront Available pedalboards are limited. They're made for guitarists mostly. After an evening of searching for a solution to midi/usb conversion and how to find a multi pedal set up for pianos
and orchestration, I happened upon these folks... If you want full piano pedals and multiple expression/volume/? footcontrollers for orchestrations and hands free operation, these folks have you covered, inexpensively... from their site:
Reasons to use MIDI Expression
- You want hands-free control of your DAW or other music software.
- You want to use different pedals without needing to mess with any settings.
- You want to turn your pedals and footswitches into MIDI foot controllers.
- You need a compact and hassle-free pedal interface for your live performances.
- You want to give your virtual piano all the pedals found on a regular piano.
- You want to trigger velocity sensitive notes with an expression pedal.
- You want a hands-free way to audition patch changes and presets.

videos and have a look at the
manual to see if MIDI Expression is right for you.
