# Control with Face

On iPads or iPhones with "Face ID" or newer iPads with at least an M1 processor, you can control SongBook+ with facial gestures.

If you want the control to work even in less favorable lighting conditions, it should definitely be a device with "Face ID". Face ID can scan your face in 3D with an infrared camera and therefore works much more reliably than the normal front camera.

SongBook+ recognizes 9 different facial gestures:

* Close left eye
* Close right eye
* Raise both eyebrows
* Smile
* Open mouth
* Move jaw to the left
* Move jaw to the right
* Pucker lips
* Puff cheeks

The settings for controlling with facial expressions can be found in the "Remote Control" group.

In the settings, you can activate the detection of facial expressions and assign the following actions, among others:

* Do nothing
* Move one page forward/backward
* Press the start/stop/pause/resume button
* Jump to the next song
* Go back to the song list
* Open 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 function buttons one after another on the current page
* Adjust device volume (up, down)
* Activate the search field and set the cursor in the field
* Trigger MIDI macros
* ...

If you want to see a preview image as seen by the front camera, open the \*Midi/Bluetooth Monitor\*.
