The best page turner pedals on the market - full comparison

[@cowboy7x]

The Dragon fly has a great feature for the additional foot switches. Having said that the Dragonfly, Butterfly, and Firefly are problematic in that when your concentrating on your tablet, it's WAY TOO easy to hit the wrong pedal as IMO they are too close together. During several sets, I have accidentally hit the wrong pedal, (left instead of right) turning the page backwards instead of advancing forward. This has a potential for disaster and actually has at times, BEEN a disaster. There's nothing like NOT remembering the music and depending on the next page to keep you on track. Imagen the horror of NOT having that information for the next line/verse or chorus and realizing that you NOW need to flip forward two instead of one page and NOW you're already lost. NOT GOOD! LOL! I now use the Donner. Not perfect but since I switched, I don't accidently hit the wrong pedal as they are adequately separated. My only complaint with the Donner is that after a set and starting a new set, the bluetooth seems to disconnect and it's gone into pair mode. I'm hoping that this is "setting" fix.

[@ariazaychenko]

the same problem

[@ScottKummrow]

Thanks. Excellent review. My 2 cents on the Air Turn Pedpro. It is hard to get used to the pressure it takes to turn a page. I never got used to it. It also totally crashed on me after about 6 months of use.On to the next one.

[@NewzikApp]

Hi! It is true that the Ped Pro's footswitches are not for everyone. Sorry to hear about yours dying though!

[@paulseabrook9338]

Just returning a PEDpro… looks great, doesn’t slip….doesn’t work!!! Switch pressure is impossible to judge, jumping up and down on the switch isn’t a cool look. Get something else!

[@Nightrabbid]

Totally agree. Hard to use, unreliable, main got broken a week before concert, I had to go back to paper scores.

[@biropa04]

Good Catch for all pedals! Thanks for including approximate prices.

[@NewzikApp]

You're welcome ! 😉

[@graemea]

Brilliant, but I would have liked more info on the confidence and reliability of a foot strike - personal I know but would have been useful.

[@NewzikApp]

Hi! Most of the pedals on this list are very reliable when it comes to the footstrike. You can find some information about which ones are not so reliable in the full review article (link in the description). As you rightly point out, though, this is very personal and the best way to be sure would be to try them out yourself!

[@shadowlandstudios86]

Looking for one that will scroll the lyrics, as well as turn the page.

[@vladimirtubic6060]

I don't understand what the makers were thinking when they made the switches that loud. I mean their primary market is musicians, and they use the loudest switches imaginable...

[@godofrainbows]

It is one of the great mysteries

[@talkintruthelliotkillian]

great review, thanks!

[@brianswitzer]

Is there a pedal that will let you SCROLL down the page rather than a page turn. Particularly when iPad turned sideways so notes are bigger. Thank you!!!!!

[@NewzikApp]

Interesting but we could not find a pedal that does this for now!

[@estheravianaplatt8713]

That would be a function of the software. MobileSheets has scrolling options.

[@MichaelCastelo]

To confirm, Mobilesheets allows for scrolling. I use (well, used to use the Donner until the right pedel became non-responsive after five years of use) which has a scroll mode. In MobileSheets you can program your page turner pedals to scroll up and down, just being two of the many functions you can program. BTW, I use a 2-1 Chromebook with a large 16" screen. Editng the pages to remove blank spaces and turning the Chromebook veritical to scroll down is the perfect choice for me as a classical musician.

[@BobiPopTv]

A link for each pedal to buy would have been great

[@James_Bowie]

@@NewzikApp When?

[@johndathan1]

I have the Air Turn BT200 and I use it with Ultimate Guitar. I have programmed the left to pause/start and the right to page down. It works fine about 75% of the time but occasionally it exits the song back to my full list of songs. Any ideas out there?

[@danielch6662]

The reason the sound is so crappy is because the mic is 3m away, on the camera. And that room is not quiet enough.

[@MichaelDaniels]

Is there any wired ones? We have so many things that are wireless, I am afraid it just won't work. How about wired???

[@IsaacLausell]

which ones go to sleep when you are playing and which ones don't? I got one that goes to sleep and it is annoying, sometimes you click and it doesn't go right away because you need to wake it and then go.

Thank you for the review! I am actually using the Irig blue turn, but find a very serious item. It is the fact that some times, depending on the pressure you give, it can turn two pages, and in concert, this can be quite a drama!!! Does anybody know about a pedal which can be reliable in this sense? Other things are not important to me. Thank you for your help!!!

[@electriclute]

I had the same problem with pedpro . Very unreliable . Found pageflip firefly the best,there is also the more expensive dragonfly with more options for programming . It is a peddle and not a sensor. I highly recommend it .

[@juliaraggers2326]

I have the same issue with the irig! I just changed to firefly..

[@Booh833]

The iRig Blue Turn page turner manufactured by IK Multimedia is pitched as a quality unit sold at a premium price. It is therefore extremely disappointing that my unit failed at the outset. Straight out the box, the unit's blue status led failed to light and other than an initial flicker from the foot switches, the device was completely inoperative. Following a number of unsuccessful exchanges with the manufacturer's representative Ariel C, the matter remains unresolved and I am out of pocket. I would advise that potential buyers choose a device from a supplier who has a reputation for reliable products and good customer care.

[@A2KMedia]

hey, can you recommend one that is silent?

[@NewzikApp]

The PEDPro from AirTurn and the iRig BlueTurn are solid options for silent pedals :)

[@EstebanLiveMusic]

Great video mate thank you

[@moments_with_IH]

excelent vid! would any of these page Turners also be midi capable for Android app, Soundbrenner? (metronome : specifically next song, tap tempo, play/stop

[@onzkicg]

Thanks, are these sending midi cc signal? I wonder if can use for other purposes.

[@Didofzedid]

I'm using the Donner Page Turner. It's doing a pretty good job with Mobile Sheets Pro. I used tu run it on my Asus device with Android 7. I changed for a Lenovo device with Android 12. And the problem is the App Mobile Sheets Pro won't open in full screen. Only in a tiny window, so that I can't read the pages. When I use Mobile Sheets without the Donner Pedal, it runs just OK. Anybody had the same trouble?

[@mariawang5566]

[@olimpioreis]

Mine Lekato Page Turn is not jumping from page to side as in your video, it slides from top to bottom very fast and out of point sometimes in the middle of the page. I haven't found an app for the Samsung android that works properly. Could you recommend one on the Play store?

[@hanfpeter4190]

Are the blue lights on the iRig Blueturn very bright? I sometimes play in an completely dark Candlelit environment, would this be a disturbance? (Im keeping the pedal behind the Upright Piano I play on so its not directly visible by most of audience)

[@williamchaffin8937]

I need a pedal for page turning and scrolling that will connect and work with my Surface Pro 8. Any suggestions??

[@shannonnyadziko2186]

I have converted my slides into teleprompter software using PPT Mirror tool, so I need a better bluetooth page turner (which doesn't break the bank) to switch the slides.

[@thristanvasquez4882]

Hello, i cannot use my internal keyboard if i connect the donner..but if i disconnect it then my internal keyboard will show up. I believe the donner works as a keyboard, that is why if you are connected, your internal keyboard is not showing..have you experience that?thank you

[@NewzikApp]

Hi, your guess is right: iOS recognizes some pedals as external keyboards, thus not showing the virtual keyboard. With the iRig BlueTurn you can solve this by pressing for a few seconds on the left pedal. Not sure how this works with the Donner but surely there's a trick such as this one. If you find a way, can you post an answer here please? Would be useful for other people!

Hey guys, I have one Android tablet with several Word files with chords for lessons.. if I click on the Airturn BT200S-2 button within Word file, is it goes to the next page? or just work in power point presentations for example? amazing review btw!

[@NewzikApp]

That would depend on Word to let you do this, but basically most of these pedals act like the arrows on your keyboard. If pressing the right arrow lets you go to the next page, you can expect things to work the same with your pedal.

[@natsuband7990]

@@NewzikApp very helpful! thanks guys

[@andythebritton]

I was looking for details on actual features, for example, is it possible to emulate different key-presses, or the mouse scroll wheel?

[@NewzikApp]

That really depends on each device. I'm not sure regarding mouse scroll, but most AirTurn products integrate a custom event manager in which you can indeed emulate different key presses. Though I haven't checked, I believe the advanced PageFlip products do too. I suggest you confirm this from the specs available at both these companies websites.

[@MichaelStoneham]

What about android phones and tablet?

[@Irys1997]

I have researched this a lot, and the bottom line from what I can tell is: despite iPads being much more expensive than Android or 2-in-1 flip laptop alternatives, everything in the entire industry is bent toward iPads. You can fight it but it is always going to be a losing or at least frustrating battle. Apple ended up with the same dominance here that they have in other creative fields like visual and video design

[@estheravianaplatt8713]

​@@Irys1997that's right. For example, when I export from MobileSheets, the annotations do not show up in iPad's built-in "files" app.

Sounds like you should check out the Stomp by Coda Music Technology! 9V DC powered that fits into your pedalboard (you can use a standard pedal adapter or daisy-chain it to a BOSS pedal for instance), USB port available as well, sturdy footswitches although a bit noisy (you can deal with this by adding foam into the spring-loaded footswitch), all of this built into a road-ready metal casing.
