Welcome to the group, renaldchretien!

I'm assuming you are using the Radium controller with a computer and
software synth (Native Instruments B4 or ?).

Since the controller has no expression pedal input, I see two options
- perhaps others will have more suggestions...

1) Get a foot pedal controller with expression pedal or pedals that
will send continuous controller messages to a midi input on your
computer. The Behringer FCB1010 may be overkill for this application,
but it will certainly work. You can then configure the software on
your computer to pass Volume or Expression messages (and program
change selections) to the synth program.

2) MIDI Solutions (www.midisolutions.com) has a device that you can
place between the keyboard and your sound module or computer. It's
called the 'Pedal Controller'.

From the MIDIsolutions web site:

"It accepts an expression pedal (such as the Yamaha FC7 or Roland EV-5
or any potentiometer connected to a 1/4" stereo phone plug) as an
input and generates continuous MIDI data based on its position."

You might also look at a keyboard controller with an expression pedal
input, but the Radium with it's assignable faders looks like it's well
suited for controlling the drawbars in a software sim.

Have fun!
