MIDI Guitar 2 & Expression Pedals

Adding an expression pedal to your MIDI Guitar setup, whether you use the MIDI Guitar 2 software or not, is going to open up another level of real-time control over any instruments or applications you use. But it is not just plugging in, and you are set. You need to consider the controller type, parameters you are interested in controlling, calibration, what MIDI channel, message, CC you want to use, and all kinds of stuff. So, in this little introduction video, I touch on some questions related to this. I am sure a million things are left unanswered, so I might have a reason to revisit this subject pretty soon. So any questions you might have, write them in the comments below, and I’ll answer them now, but perhaps also bring them along to any part two of this?
