| | CONTROL FREAK? |
 | | Nearly all keyboard manufacturers have at least one footpedal in their accessory range, but one possible problem should be mentioned at the outset. |
 | | In general, the keyboard versions of most synthesizers will have sockets for both pedal (continuous) and switch (momentary) controllers, although on the equivalent rackmounting module versions this is far less likely. |
 | | After the keyboard, the next-easiest step to more expressive music is to use any in-built mechanical device -- a modulation wheel, pitch-bend wheel or lever, joystick, or even the ribbon controller provided on some keyboards (the PolyMoog and Roland JP8000, to name but two). |
