Connecting External Devices
TB-12(TB-5) midi-controller can be used together with non-midi devices as well. There are four dedicated
jacks on its back panel.
Expression Pedal 1 and Expression Pedal 2
There are two expression pedal 1/4" stereo jacks labeled Exp.P1 and Exp.P2. They allow to connect
external expression pedals or volume pedals. These pedals will allow you to control continuous effects,
such as volume, wah, whammy, etc. Use a stereo or Y-cable to connect external expression pedals.
Expression pedal settings are in Exp&Tap&Tuner menu. Enter Setup menu and navigate to EXP P1 setup or
EXP P2 setup (depending on which pedal you are configuring) and set effect CC number(see Fig. 20) and
the type of the pedal(s) used - linear or logarithmic (see Fig. 21).

calibration procedure at the bottom of the menu bar, you can see the current position of the pedal. If the
pedal is in the lowest position, the position value must be equal to 0 in the upper pedal position value is
127 (see Fig. 22). If the values do not reach the extreme, you need to calibrate.
