PageFlip Firefly Bluetooth/USB Page Turner Pedal

Plug and play. Works well with a galaxy tab and music sheets. A bespoke carry case would be a nice accessory.

I bought the PageFlip FireFly to turn sheet music pages on my iPad 2 while playing a digital piano. It connected to my device with no problem and works like a charm with forScore. Before buying this, make sure this pedal works with your sheet music app! I found out that it didn't work with one of the other sheet music apps I use because of a recent upgrade issue. Kudos to the PageFlip people for responding quickly to my inquiry! Great customer service. I just read some of the other reviews on this page and am excited to see that some use it for advancing slides on presentations....this is a use I had never considered before, and I do a lot of presentations! Looking forward to trying it out.

The PageFlip Firefly BT pedal is a godsend to musicians using digital score readers. It makes page-turning an absolute breeze, almost like the score’s pages are effortlessly turning themselves. This pedal has removed much of my stress during public piano performances. I find it superior to the AirTurn pedal in several ways. As a classical pianist who practices several hours a day, I had been using the AirTurn pedal for about two years. I switched to the PageFlip Firefly about six months ago. I’ve used both pedals with the forScore and Newzik score-reading apps. Advantages, in no particular order, of the PageFlip Firefly over the AirTurn: The PageFlip Firefly is less finicky than the AirTurn. I no longer have to worry about inadvertently turning two pages at once; The PageFlip is easier to find with my foot. The shape of the pedal matches the shape and angle of my foot on the floor. The lightly-corrugated, rather than slick, surface feels more secure; The PageFlip BT pairing mechanism is simple, straightforward, and immediate, whereas the AirTurn is more complex and can be very frustrating to attempt to pair; The PageFlip is more substantial, seems better-made, and seems not to slide on the floor so much; My experience with customer support for the PageFlip (when I wanted to re-program certain pedal functions) was outstanding. My experience with AirTurn’s customer service (when I had trouble pairing with my iPad a couple of times, and once when the pedal failed) varied from excellent to horrible, depending on whom I reached. In the past several months, several of my amateur and professional friends, colleagues, and musical partners have upgraded from the AirTurn to the PageFlip Firefly; they express general agreement about superior functionality. Usage TIP: You can make the process almost effortless—and avoid unnecessary movement, stress, and musical disruption—by resting your foot on the PageFlip pedal itself, rather than on the u.c. (pianists), the floor, or perched at an angle above the pedal. Before you start playing the piece, rest your foot (all the way down) on the Firefly pedal, it turns the score to p.2. Don’t move your foot, and use your finger to tap the iPad to turn back to p. 1. Keep your foot down as you start playing. To turn each page, lift your foot up a bit, then lower it all the way to rest on the pedal again until the next page turn. (Note: For this to work, the Repeat switch on the pedal must be in the off position.)

Bought the Dragonfly, mainly for scrolling left / right. Unfortunately these are on the secondary buttons which are a little more fiddly to locate with your foot rather than the large primary button. Downloaded the software to programme them differently. On a Mac this is greeted with “malicious content cannot be verified”. Emailed the help desk three times and got the same reply “watch the video”. This doesn’t address the issue. In the end I risked it. The Dragonfly pairs easily to the Mac. It shows it’s connected and works using the secondary button, the software, however merely shows “disconnected” and won’t let you programme anything. After weeks of fruitless trying sent it back for a refund. However, I did buy a Firefly, which requires no programming and works out of the box without having to contact the manufacturer, which is a bonus, as they are unhelpful and a little unfriendly.

Lo pedí porque se me había roto el antiguo. No quería arriesgarme a otra barca peor es más caro que la competencia. No me llegó a tiempo. No lo enviaron. Así que que compre otro modelo. Hacen todos lo mismo. Es muy buena idea poder pasar las páginas de la tablet con el pie. Lo recomiendo. Pero sobre el modelo a elegir, no recomendaría este por precio.
