Foot pedals that simulate an external keyboard

Last updated 15 days ago

SongBook+ supports all foot pedals that simulate an external keyboard and can send one or more of the following keys:

Until version 6.3, the settings for foot pedals are directly on the first level of settings.

From version 6.4, they can be found in a new group "Remote Control" along with the new settings for control with facial expressions.

For this type of foot pedal to work, the function "Keyboard Control" in "Keyboards & Text Input" under "Accessibility" on the iPad or iPhone must be turned off in the settings.

Otherwise, the operating system uses some of the pressed keys for itself, and then SongBook+ can no longer react to it.

In the settings, you can activate the use of foot pedals and assign the keys the following actions, among others:

  • Do nothing

  • One page forward/backward

  • Press the start/stop/pause/resume button

  • Jump to the next song

  • Return to the song list

  • Open song selection list

  • Start/pause/resume scrolling

  • Faster/slower scrolling

  • A whole/half/third/quarter page forward or backward

  • Toggle autoplay on/off

  • Start/stop the metronome

  • Play jingles

  • Toggle loops on/off

  • Trigger all function buttons on the current page

  • Trigger specific function buttons on the current page

  • Trigger one function button after another on the current page

  • Adjust the device volume (louder, quieter)

  • Activate the search field and set the cursor in the field

  • Trigger MIDI macros

  • ...

In the Midi and Bluetooth Monitor, you can see which keys your foot pedal sends.

Of course, these signals do not necessarily have to come from a foot pedal. You can alternatively use a proper external keyboard.

With this feature, you can use, for example, the following foot pedals:

  • BT-FP2 by Strich Music

AirTurn BT-105/BT-106/DIGIT/QUAD/DUO/PED/PEDpro/BT200S-x () connected via Bluetooth

STOMP by Coda Music Technologies ()

Cicada/Firefly/Dragonfly/Butterfly by PageFlip () connected via Bluetooth

iRig BlueTurn from IK Multimedia () connected via Bluetooth

BT-2, BT4 by Positive Grid ()

Here you can find some separate guides for various foot pedals:
