iRig BlueBoard Remote Control

Note: The iRig BlueBoard is currently not compatible with M1 (Apple Silicon) systems. This include most new Macs. 
See Is my M1 macOS system compatible with IK Products? 🙁
IKMultimedia says "We do not have an exact date at the moment but our team is diligently working on updating all of our software to be updated to work soon." 

The iRig BlueBoard is a great choice for controlling Anytune with a foot pedal. 

See IK Multimedia's product support at https://www.ikmultimedia.com/products/irigblueboard/index.php?p=manuals.

The BlueBoard requires a companion app running on your device. This app receives BlueTooth messages and converts them into MIDI Control Messages. Anytune listens for these messages and allows you to map each message to an Anytune actions like Play, Loop or Skip.

These apps act as a bridge and must be running in the background. 

Anytune listens for MIDI Control Change messages. Anytune DOES NOT listen for MIDI Program Change messages.
