Yamaha Keyboard Sustain, Volume, Expression Pedals

Keyboards have the advantage over acoustic pianos in terms of portability, versatility and ease of amplification but, right out of the box, many keyboards lack the capacity for expression that pianos are famous for. With the right pedals, however, your keyboard can communicate compositions from the likes of Debussy and even achieve effects far beyond the capabilities of the highest-quality concert pianos. Yamaha's selection of keyboard sustain, volume and expression pedals is sure to contain the perfect accessory to take your performances to the next level.

From straightforward pedals to complex MIDI controllers, Yamaha has got you covered. For example, the simple, comfortable and extremely accessible Yamaha FC5 Sustain Footswitch is a must-have for any keyboardist. This basic pedal is perfect for sustaining passages or for using as a punch-in switch. Meanwhile, its heavy-duty construction stands up to stomping and resists sliding around under your feet.

If, however, you're looking to imitate grand piano flexibility with your keyboard sound, the Yamaha LP-7 Pedal Unit is the way to go. This board is mounted with separate damper, soft and sostenuto pedals to provide acoustic-level expressive control, and the left pedal can even control some of your keyboard's voices to make switching during performances easier.

For a full range of functional possibilities, though, the Yamaha MFC10 MIDI Foot Controller is sure to please. Featuring a built-in expression pedal, this controller provides remote switching of up to 100 control changes, as well as 128 program changes (or, if you use 100 bank select messages, up to 12,800). The creative possibilities are virtually endless, and the rugged casing is road-worthy for use by touring professionals.

No matter what you need to create more moving and compelling keyboard performances and recordings, Yamaha's wide selection of pedals is a great place to start. So why not explore the full potential of your instrument for yourself?
