Firefly Premium Bluetooth/USB Page Turner Pedal

First of all, the PageFlip Firefly is a GREAT product! I use the Firefly with my iPad Pro running forScore. I play live gigs where I am singing, playing keys and guitar, and running another computer to trigger my background sequences. So, there is a lot to do, with my hands, between each song.Firefly allows me to easily page through each song with my foot. One less thing I have to think about, and the Firefly does the job, without me having to worry if it will work or not. It is that reliable!The Firefly works as advertised and it is a wonderful addition to my setup. The pedal is brilliantly designed. The physical layout has been intelligently configured with buttons and switches on the front and connection options on the backside. It comes with a quickstart guide for setup instructions.Reliability is the most important thing for my gig. The Firefly delivers flawlessly! I just step on the pedal and it turns the page I need to go to. There are also several options that allow you to configure the behavior of the pedal.Aside from the fact that the Firefly is awesome, I have to say that PageFlip's customer service is the BEST! This is the only review I have ever done, and it's because PageFlip deserves it.I had some questions, and I contacted PageFlip. Their response was quick and more helpful than I ever imagined. I love my pedal evenmore now!I would recommend the PageFlip Firefly over other brands anyday!

Great product and even better customer service! I had a problem and called their number, George picked up and talks to you like a real person. What a mensch!Of course it was user error. Worked like a charm after i did the steps George recommended.

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.)

Playing professionally 15+ years. New to going paperless.*Pros.: I like that it is mostly simple to use. Seems to not drain the battery. Easy to connect to an IPad Pro. Seems sturdy. Used it 10x in an orchestral pit for a theatrical production. The lights on the pedals are easy to find, and were necessary in the dark. Doesn’t advance too many pages at a time. But will advance many pages quickly if you hold it down intentionally.*Con’s: Moved around on a carpeted floor quite a bit. (Thin carpet, not plush.) Also, took some getting used to, to find the correct pressure needed to advance the page. Sometimes didn’t flip, and caused a pause in my playing as I tried to advance the score. (I practiced with it and improved, but still got hung up bad one time.) Tempted to give it 4 stars, but thinking I need more practice, and on different surfaces. I’ll be updating as needed. Also: Somewhat bulky in storage and during transit in my case. And… Doesn’t fit squarely or strap down well. Lol. Go figure. (It’s not square or flat! ) I’ll probably get a small bag for it.

I bought this page turner so that I could use my iPad with Onsong, on stage. It works perfectly for that. For the most part, the construction is solid. I have some resevation about the actual pedals themselves as they are made of plastic. But, again its working perfectly. I like the size of it. I can pack it and my ipad in a small backpack with my guitar cables and go. I like the lights that are in the pedals as it makes it easier to see them while on stage. All in all, I would recommend this pedal to anyone looking for an affordable, easily mobile bluetooth page tuner.
