EX-P User Guide
Introduction
Congratulations on purchasing the M-Gear EX-P expression pedal. Please read this User’s Manual to get the most out of the EX-P and enjoy
years of dynamic playing.
Basic Features
The M-Audio EX-P Expression Pedal can be used with any keyboard or controller equipped with an expression, volume or assignable pedal
input. Expression pedals give a player control over various sound parameters, such as volume, filter modulations, and effects, resulting in greater
dynamic range and expression in their performances. By setting the proper control range of the pedal, any player can control their keyboard’s or
controller’s expression parameter to maximize its potential as an effective tool for live sound sculpting.
The M-Audio EX-P is a universal expression pedal, meaning it will work with any device with an expression pedal input. However, there are a
couple of different standards employed between various manufacturers, so M-Audio has included a mode switch on the bottom of the pedal
for compatibility. When in the “M-Audio” position, the EX-P will work with all of M-Audio’s keyboards and controllers. When using the EX-P with
another company’s device, you may need to move this switch to the “Other” position if the pedal is not behaving properly. Keep in mind that the
“M-Audio” position may work on some non-M-Audio products—try both switch settings to find the best match for your equipment.

Setup
1. Please insert the EX-P’s 1/4” plug into the expression pedal input of your keyboard or controller.
2. Move the EX-P into the fully forward, or “up,” position. Your instrument will now be set to play at full volume. Adjust the instrument’s output
volume to your desired maximum level.
3. Rock the EX-P pedal back to the “down” position. Your instrument will now be set to play at its minimum volume, which may be silence. If you
do not want to completely turn down your instrument in this position, adjust the EX-P Trim knob until your instrument reaches your desired
“quiet” volume.
4. Moving the pedal back and forth will now change the instrument’s volume between its maximum output and your desired minimum
output.
