# Remotely Controlling SongBook+ (Foot Pedals, Gestures, Face, MIDI)

Many functions of SongBook+ can also be controlled remotely.

* With foot pedals that simulate an external keyboard
* With foot pedals that send MIDI commands
* With finger gestures (swiping or tapping with 2 or 3 fingers)
* With facial expressions (blinking, opening mouth, ...)

{% hint style="info" %}
Up to version 6.3, the settings for foot pedals and finger gestures are directly found on the first level of settings.

From version 6.4, they can be found in a new "Remote Control" group along with the new settings for controlling with facial expressions.
{% endhint %}

On the following pages, you will find more information about these 4 types of remote control.

Additionally, you can remotely open a song via MIDI in SongBook+. More information can be found here: [Open Song Remotely via MIDI](/english/readme/midi-features-verwenden/song-ferngesteuert-uber-midi-offnen.md).

And you can also connect multiple devices with SongBook+, so that a song selected on one device will automatically open on the other devices. This is very practical for bands.
