M-Audio expression pedal used with a MIDI adapter in Cakewalk?

[Sven]

I bought an M-Audio EX-P expression pedal hoping to use it with my M-Audio Keystation 61 not realizing that the only only pedal the keyboard accepts is a sustain pedal.  I should have looked more carefully before purchasing it.   But, a Google search led me to sites like these:

I only do simple MIDI recordings in Cakewalk recording MIDI notes and their velocities.   Will a device like the EX2M shown above work with Cakewalk and allow me to record the normal keyboard notes/velocities but now with additional expression information?  I'd rather buy this than get a new keyboard if this will work.

Thanks.

I don't see why it wouldn't work. MIDI is just data, the DAW doesn't care where it comes from.

Thanks Starship Krupa,

  This is a new one for me and I'm far from being a MIDI expert.   I know some people out there live and breath this stuff but it's not my area of expertise.  I'll give it a try.

Thanks.

They should. As I guitarist I use this - 

The idea's the same. Look into how to program it, how to calibrate it, and so on.
