Foot Thingies Go Brrr
The Foot Pedal Panic Room
So you've decided to get all fancy with your foot pedals, huh? Don't worry—this screen is basically only for the people who read instruction manuals for fun. Spoiler: most peeps just jam stuff in & it works. But if you're feelin' spicy, check out the Foot Pedal Panic Room for the lite version.
The Stuff You Can Actually Tweak:
Pedal Type (AKA Why Are You Like This?)
OnSong's got drivers for basically every foot pedal known to humanity. Pick your poison:
- None — because sometimes you just wanna live pedal-free, y'know?
- iOS Compatible — lets you wire up arrows & random letters like you're hacking NASA. You get to be the keyboard whisperer below. So artsy.
- AirTurn — the boring, safe choice that uses arrow keys like a normal person. Uses all four directional keys. Yawn. Default.
Pedal 1-8 (The Chaos Zone)
If you picked iOS Compatible (congratulations on your life choices), congrats—now you gotta teach OnSong to read your mind. So like, you wanna set Pedal 1 to "a", Pedal 2 to "s", Pedal 3 to "w", Pedal 4 to "z" (no quotes, genius)? OnSong'll ping you every time it sees those letters fly by. Oh, & it can also listen for full words like "next". ZOMG, the possibilities!
Once you've matched your characters like you're playing some weird keyboard bingo, OnSong does whatever pedal magic you told it to do in the last screen.
Special Keys (For the Keyboard Nerds Among Us)
OnSong also supports these keyboard flex moves:
- UP_ARROW — you know, that pointy boi that goes up.
- LEFT_ARROW — westbound vibes.
- DOWN_ARROW — southbound feels.
- RIGHT_ARROW — eastbound dreams.
- ENTER — the big red button.
- ESCAPE — when you wanna bail out real fast.
- TAB — because indentation matters, apparently.
- SPACE — that wide boy in the middle.
Sensitivity (AKA "Stop Breaking My Pedals")
This is your anti-spam technology. OnSong's basically like, "Chill, dude, I just did that." Adjust between 0 & 2 (in seconds) to tell OnSong how long to wait before it'll listen to your next pedal smash. Default is zero seconds because we live on the edge. Default is zero seconds because YOLO.
