What can foot pedals do in OnSong right out of the box?

OnSong is designed to make the most out of the few pedals you have. Out of the box, most pedals will use the left pedal to scroll up and the right pedal to scroll down. Additionally, when you reach the top or bottom of the song, a further pedal press will take you to the previous or next song in your set or collection. So with just two pedals, you can completely navigate your set. Again, that's the default functions and there are many more options available.

You can continue to use autoscroll. If you start autoscroll and then press a pedal, OnSong will advanced forward or backward and then autoscroll continues from that point. You could also set up something called a Forward Pedal Trigger. This will let you press the pedal assigned the Scroll Down action (Navigation > Scroll > Down) to start autoscrol and each subsequent press would scroll as usual. You can trigger other events off of that as well so you can perform many actions with just two pedals by using the Triggers Settings Screen found under the Utilities Menu > Settings > Navigation Settings.

Of course you an also perform 150+ Actions by linking your foot pedals to trigger those actions in the Pedals Tab of the Actions Editor.
