AudioFront describes their new MIDI Expression as a very compact class compliant USB MIDI device that allows different types of pedals to interface with your computer. Pedal sensing technolgy built into the device detects the type of pedal plugged in and automatically adjusts its settings to support that device.

Reasons to use MIDI Expression

• You want to connect a pedal for use in your DAW.
• You want to customize the response curve of your expression pedal.
• You need a compact expression pedal input for your live performances.
• You want to add a hihat controller to DSP Trigger.

How it Works
MIDI Expression has four built-in configurations or presets--one for expression pedals, one for sustain pedals, one for hihat controllers, and one for footswitches. When you plug-in a pedal, the MIDI Expression detects its type and automatically loads the corresponding configuration. A software configuration application can be used to change a number of settings for each of the configurations including, Chan, CC, and response curve and more. All settings are stored in the device itself for portability.
