I'm about to buy an expression pedal for my korg, and the first thing I really want to be able to do is bring in an extra setting whilst playing.
I did a quick search for a youtube video to explain what I mean.

about 1 minute in is what I am talking about.
could somebody please explain to me how this is accomplished?
also - does anybody have a certain quality expression pedal that comes to mind? I want to avoid ones that are cheap and faulty. Would be nice to get some options and opinions on the matter. I posted on this before but nobody got back to me...
thanks
about using an expression pedal...

+1 for the Yamaha pedal.
I forget exactly how to assign the expression pedal to do that, but a while back someone described to me how to use the assignable knobs for that purpose. It's here on the forum somewhere. If I find it, I'll add a link.
Otherwise, when I'm home and have a minute, I'll figure it out and post back here.

Hmm...so can a volume pedal be used as an expression pedal somehow? Or to be specific the yamaha one that you mentioned? Because a volume pedal would adjust the volume of all of the settings, right? I'm looking more so into how I could raise/bring in and lower a single program - in the kind of way you might using the mixing screen on the touch screen.
Yeah I remember seeing that post a while back as well...which is what gave me the idea in the first place. Tried searching to no avail. It would be great to know how to do all of them. Using knobs, as well as perhaps expression pedals. Then I would rarely have to go to the mixing section and take away a hand while playing. I swear I remember you had to do it in a weird way, like it having to do with something in the effects section.
thanks again guys...let me know.
ps. any expression pedal ideas? I'm more concerned with the quality of the pedal over the price.

I've been chasing EXP-2 for around a year, still no avail here in Poland (I already told this but let me repeat: wake up Korg and go for other distributor! Every single Korg user I spoke to is very dissatisfied by the quality of Megamusic services). I am aware that Korg could discontinue this product, though.
So, is Yamaha thing (FC series) really alternative for EXP-2? Does it fit TEX exp. controller electic specs and will work in full range when connected to Triton? FC are apparently better quality than EXP.
Thanks

The question has been asked and answered.
Korg has even sold the FC7 same pedal under their own label.
You realize you've waited a month for no reason?
There's an adapter for sale to make it work with Roland and other keyboards, but it's not needed for Korg keyboards.

His question hasn't been answered, at least not in this thread. He's asking how to use an expression pedal to mute some parts but not others in a combi.
There are a few ways to do it that are listed here.
There's another way I've been using, which is what you want. (My instructions are for the TR, which is what I use, but I don't think it'll be any different for the Triton Extreme). First, you'll need your foot pedal assigned to control Volume. Then, in your combi, go into page 4.4 (MIDI Filter 4), and go to subpage MIDI 4-2. The first row of checkboxes determines whether or not your timbre will respond to the foot pedal and foot switch. If you uncheck a box, that timbre won't respond anymore to either the foot pedal or foot switch. Basically, timbres that are checked can be silenced using the pedal, and timbres that aren't checked will always play.
Note that this also disables your footswitch from acting on a timbre. If you use your footswitch as Foot SW (CC#82) for alternate modulation or FSW#82 for dynamic modulation, those effects won't be applied to that particular timbre. I haven't tried myself, but it looks like everything else you can assign to the footswitch isn't specific to a timbre.
Another possibility, if you play with two keyboards, is to use the foot pedal in the *other* keyboard, and send it to the Triton Extreme via MIDI. Instead of unchecking the Foot Switch/Foot Pedal setting, uncheck the "Other Control Change" setting. This will disable all external control changes via MIDI from acting on the timbre, but shouldn't disable any of the physical controls from the Triton Extreme itself.
