Foot Pedals That Simulate an External Keyboard

Last updated 14 days ago

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

Up to version 6.3, the settings for foot pedals can be found 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 controlling with facial expressions.

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

  • Do nothing

  • Move a page forwards/backwards

  • Press the start/stop/pause/resume button

  • Jump to the next song

  • Return to the song list

  • Open the song preselection list

  • Start/pause/resume scrolling

  • Scroll faster/slower

  • Move a whole/half/third/quarter page forwards or backwards

  • 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 device volume (louder, softer)

  • Activate the search box and set the cursor into the field

  • Trigger MIDI macros

  • ...

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

Of course, these signals don't necessarily have to come from a foot pedal. You can also use a real external keyboard instead.

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

  • 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 by IK Multimedia () connected via Bluetooth

BT-2, BT4 by Positive Grid ()

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