Marais Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 Hello, I'm a performing musician and I've been using Bluetooth page-turning pedals since the very beginning. Recently and not the first time I have had last-minute pairing problems. Also, multiple times on stage with others who also were using a bluetooth pedal mine stopped working for my Ipad and turned someone else's pages! This even happened in an orchestra... Now, I just purchased the Pageflip Firefly : Pageflip Firefly pedal which after Airturn and the Pageflip Butterfly is pedal number three. I bought this one as it is specifically mentionned as : "wireless (Bluetooth) or wired (USB) connectivity options" Has anyone here had any experience in using this pedal with an Ipad via USB? The cable they provide seems only to connect to the pedal (mini-USB) and then to a computer (USB) and not the lightening connectrion used on all new Ipads/Iphones. Thanks for any information in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
232006 Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 Hi I haven"t had experience with that pedal, but have used MIDI keyboards in iPad apps (and a normal computer keyboard in the 'notes' app) by using an Apple Lightning to USB camera adapter such as this: Apple Lightning to USB Camera Adapter Hopefully should do the trick, assuming the app on the iPad you are using accepts normal computer keyboard inputs for page turning.

Marais Posted October 3, 2020 Author Share Posted October 3, 2020 Thank you. Yes Forscore accepts "Page UP, Page DOWN" commands. That should do the trick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
232006 Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 That"s good, let us know if it all works ok. BTW I"m curious which other player in an orchestra you managed to accidentally turn score pages for - hopefully not the Conductor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marais Posted October 3, 2020 Author Share Posted October 3, 2020 Actually my son did turn the pages of the conductor! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
