A foot pedal lets you turn pages, move between songs or start autoscroll without touching the screen – ideal when both hands are on the instrument.
Supported pedals
Any Bluetooth pedal that acts like a keyboard works – it sends Page Up / Page Down or the arrow keys. Tested pedals include the AirTurn PEDPro and the M-VAVE Cube Turner. Pair the pedal in the system Bluetooth settings first. Pedals that send MIDI are set up under MIDI.
Default mapping
Out of the box the pedal keys do the following:
| Key | Action |
|---|---|
| Up arrow | Previous section |
| Down arrow | Next section |
| Left arrow | Previous song (in a setlist) |
| Right arrow | Next song (in a setlist) |
| Page Up | Scroll up (80% of the screen) |
| Page Down | Scroll down (80% of the screen) |
Moving between sections also controls which part is projected when lyrics projection is on.
