Change songs and sections with a pedal or remote

A foot pedal or page-turner remote moves you to the next section or the next song while you play, so your hands stay on your instrument.

Where: iPhone, iPad and Android only. OnStage on phone, tablet and web

Steps​

Use a keyboard pedal or remote​

Most page-turner pedals and presentation remotes work like a keyboard.

  2. Open a song and press the pedal.

Change what a pedal does​

  1. Open Settings, tap Connections, then Pedals & remotes.
  2. Under Actions, tap an action, such as Next section or Autoscroll on / off.
  3. Press the pedal you want for it. The sheet closes by itself.

An action can have several pedals. To drop one, tap the action, then the x next to it.

Good to know​

  • Next section jumps to the start of the next section, pages through a section taller than the screen, and moves to the next song at the end.
  • Pedals do nothing while you type, draw annotations, or have a sheet open. In a Live Mode session, a follower's pedal pauses following, like a swipe.
  • On an iRig BlueBoard, buttons A to D are previous song, next song, previous section and next section.
  • OnStage reconnects your MIDI pedal by itself. Disconnect forgets it.
  • Your setup is saved on this device only. Reset to defaults puts the default keys back.
