Title: Remote control - one action, two triggers.
Post by: muzztone on August 24, 2021, 12:27:02 AM
I need two Bluetooth pedals to select the Next Song or MIDI Preset remote control action.  This is so I can control the set list from different positions.
Is this possible in any way other than programming the Bluetooth pedal to fire the same keyboard character?
I've got the AirTurn B200 which has modes (mode 2-6) which allow custom characters to be sent via Bluetooth so I've set two pedals to send the same character.  But using this mode appears to result in BandHelper not responding to Bluetooth in the background.  I need to use it with other apps.
Any ideas?

If you want to trigger the same action from different foot switches, you'll need to configure the foot switches to send the same messages.

AirTurn's "keyboard modes" (or any other foot switch that functions like a keyboard) won't work with an app that's in the background, but its AirDirect and MIDI modes will.
