# Remote control, MIDI and OSC

> Run a service from another device, a MIDI controller or a show controller.

## From iPhone or iPad

Any iPhone or iPad running Slipity Pro can control a Mac on the same network.

**1. On the Mac**

Open **Settings › Remote Control** and turn on **Allow Remote Control**.

**2. On the iPhone or iPad**

Turn on **Remote Control**. Macs that allow it appear in the list. Choose **Pair…**.

**3. Type the code**

The Mac shows a code. Type it on the remote.

**4. Take control**

Choose **Control**. **Stop Controlling** hands it back.

The remote shows the Mac's running order with pictures of its slides and what it's showing now, and steps through the service from your hand. The Mac shows who is controlling it.

* **Forget** removes one Mac from a remote; **Forget All** on the Mac removes every paired remote.
* A remote's Apple Watch and Live Activity follow the Mac too. See [iPhone, iPad and iPhone Duo](https://docs.slipity.com/getting-started/iphone-and-ipad.md).

## MIDI

In **Settings › Remote Control › MIDI**, map notes and messages from a controller to commands — next slide, previous slide, clear, blackout, a Look — and choose what Slipity Pro **Sends**. A slide can send MIDI when it goes live with **Add Action › Communication › MIDI…**.

## OSC

Turn on **Enable OSC Server** and choose a **UDP Port** to let a lighting desk, show controller or companion app drive Slipity Pro. Add places to **Send To** for OSC going the other way, and send OSC from a slide with **Add Action › Communication › OSC…**.

To capture: Settings › Remote Control with MIDI and OSC sections.
