Smart Pedal app for iPhone and iPad

Smart Pedal is a comprehensive tool for MIDI applications that utilize footswitch controllers. By remapping the MIDI messages sent by a footswitch controller, it can turn the device in to a "smart pedal" which can perform up to three independent actions. These actions are selected by a short tap, long tap, or double tap of the footswitch. Use a single footswitch to toggle three stompbox effects on a virtual guitar effects app. Or use it to control a song lyrics/chord chart display app. Control scroll up and scroll down functions with a single footswitch. Use a momentary type footswitch such as keyboard sustain pedal to control latching functions such as effects on/off. Use the ramping feature to use a footswitch to perform an expression pedal function such as volume or filter cutoff (wah-wah).

Theres much more that Smart Pedal can do. It supports multiple footswitch devices with actions independently assignable. Actions include playing notes or chords on your preferred virtual instrument app or MIDI sound module. Smart Pedal includes a library of standard chords or custom chords can be specified with the integrated virtual piano keyboard. Other actions include sending program change and bank select messages.
