Page Turners: hands-free chart navigation, zero setup

A Bluetooth page-turner pedal frees your hands for your instrument - tap a footswitch instead of reaching for a screen mid-song. Every pedal below works with BandBinder's Performance Mode out of the box: no pairing wizard, no in-app configuration. Set the pedal to its arrow-key or page-key mode (see the how-to below) and you're done.

Quick how-to

  1. Pair the pedal with your device via Bluetooth, same as any Bluetooth keyboard.
  2. Set the pedal to its arrow-key mode or PageUp/PageDown mode (check the device's mode switch or app - see notes per device below). Either mode advances and backs up through your chart in Performance Mode with no extra setup.
  3. Step on it. One switch advances, the other goes back.

Have a configurable pedal? AirTurn and PageFlip Firefly pedals can be reprogrammed (via AirTurn Manager or the PageFlip app) to send other keys. If you'd rather drive autoscroll than turn pages, map a switch to A (toggle autoscroll) or [ / ] (slow down / speed up autoscroll) - BandBinder's Performance Mode already handles those keys today.

Why every pedal "just works"

BandBinder's Performance Mode binds PageDown/Down/Right to advance and PageUp/Up/Left to go back - that covers the default mode plus at least one more mode on every device above, with zero configuration required in the app. Modes we deliberately don't bind (Space/Enter, mouse clicks, MIDI, media keys) all have a working alternative on the same pedal - just flip its mode switch.
