Description

How it works
The PageFlip Firefly acts like a standard keyboard and works with any software that can read keyboard strokes to navigate through digital files. The pedal emits key presses, such as up/down arrow, as users tap the left or right foot pedals. Most compatible apps use the up/down arrow mode to turn pages and this is the default pedal mode, so the user won't even have to make a selection on which pedal mode to use.

Reprogramming the pedal
The PageFlip Firefly page turner offers the option to reprogram the five preset modes so that each pedal can now transmit any desired key press combination or hotkey function. Simply download the free PageFlip iOS/Android app on the App Store or Google Play Store to reassign the pedal functions. Older Firefly pedals (<V14) require you to download our free software, pair the pedal to a Windows or Mac computer using Bluetooth, and run the downloaded software to reassign the pedal functions. Just press the Mode Reset button on the rear of the pedal to restore the factory settings anytime.

Compatible iPad apps
The page turning device works with iPads under keyboard-compatible apps such as forScore, OnSong, unrealBook, Deepdish GigBook, MusicReader, Music Podium, Newzik, NextPage, PowerMusic, Avid Scorch, Scorecerer, Set List Maker, Steinway Etude, Virtual Sheet Music, Planning Center Online, Teleprompt+, Kindle, iBooks, and more. Additional compatible iPad apps can be found here.

Compatible Android apps
The PageFlip Firefly also works with any Android tablet under select apps such as MobileSheets, SongBook, Fakebook, Lyrics Flipper+, Moon+ Reader, EBookDroid, Cool Reader, ezPDF Reader, and EP45 Pro. Additional compatible Android apps can be found here. 

Desktop software
The PageFlip Firefly pedal also works with any Windows, Mac, or Linux computer. Try MobileSheets or PowerMusic Software for superior sheet music display and annotation on Windows platforms.

Bluetooth
If your computer does not have Bluetooth, no problem. You can either purchase a Bluetooth USB dongle from us that you can plug into your computer's USB port for instant wireless Bluetooth support, or you can use a USB-C cable for wired connectivity!

External pedals
Musicians and avid readers can easily connect their favorite external switch to the PageFlip Firefly to trigger page turns. Sip-and-puff (breath-controlled) devices or Ablenet Jelly Bean pushbuttons are examples of popular switches available to people with disabilities. Musicians will, of course, prefer to tap the PageFlip Firefly, or a connected external pedal, with their foot rather than take their hands (and their focus) off their instruments.

Once you try the PageFlip Firefly pedal you will be amazed by the convenience of hands-free reading!
