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

• Do nothing

• Page forward/backward

• Press the Start/Stop/Pause/Resume button

• Jump to the next song

• Return to the song list

• Open the song selection list

• Start/pause/resume scrolling

• Scroll faster/slower

• Move a whole/half/third/quarter page forward or backward

• Toggle automatic playback 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 (up, down)

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

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

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

• BT-105/BT-106/DIGIT/QUAD/DUO/PED/PEDpro/BT200S-x from Airturn (www.airturn.com) connected via Bluetooth

• iRig BlueTurn from IK Multimedia (www.ikmultimedia.com) connected via Bluetooth

• BT-FP2 from Strich Music
