I often use a pedal(FC7)for pitch bending on my PSR-3000...I'm sure other arrangers can be set up in a similar manner.

I first used this technique on the Yamaha Electone HS8...takes a bit of getting used to but it does the job admirably.

Aftertouch, on keyboards so equipped, can be used to replicate the modulation wheel.

Breath controllers are very handy and used to be on Yamaha synths as well as the Kurzweil K2500 and others.

Anatek used to make a little MIDI box for the Yamaha Breath controller, and I believe a company called MIDI Solutions makes one that is still available.

You can assign aftertouch, pitch bend, control change etc.

These devices add incredible expression to your playing, but they require the ability to ADAPT and a commitment to practice.
