Page Turner Pedals
Page turner controllers are foot-operated Bluetooth pedals for turning digital sheet music on a tablet or phone hands-free. The musician reads from an app (forScore, MobileSheets, OnSong and others) and, instead of touching the screen, taps the pedal with a foot — without taking their hands off the instrument. At SoundsGood — 2- and 4-button models, rechargeable and battery-powered, with silent switches, from AirTurn, PageFlip, iRig BlueTurn (IK Multimedia), Coda Music, plus tablet holders. Delivery across Ukraine via Nova Poshta; pickup at our Kyiv showroom. We'll advise the model for your app and instrument.

🎵 Page turner controllers overview
🦶 What it is
A foot-operated Bluetooth pedal for turning sheet music on a tablet hands-free. Instead of touching the screen — a tap of the foot. It lets you play from digital scores without interrupting the performance or taking your hands off the instrument.
🎯 Why you need one
It frees your hands. Especially important for pianists, organists, accordionists, guitarists and orchestral players. Page turning becomes seamless, with no pauses or fuss with paper. Ideal for stage, rehearsals and the studio.
📲 What it works with
With sheet-music apps: forScore, MobileSheets, OnSong, Newzik, Power Music and more. It also controls lyrics, tabs, teleprompters and backing tracks. Compatible with thousands of apps via a keyboard profile.
🔋 Power and connection
Bluetooth LE, rechargeable (USB) or replaceable batteries. Long range and battery life. Connection is simple — like a Bluetooth keyboard or in an app's 'direct' mode.
📲 How a page turner controller works
1️⃣ Bluetooth pairing
Turn the controller on, open Bluetooth in the tablet's settings and select the device. Most models appear as a keyboard or work in a direct mode (AirDirect on AirTurn).
2️⃣ Launch the app
Open forScore, MobileSheets or OnSong. Many controllers work out of the box with no extra setup — they turn pages forward/back right away.
3️⃣ Tap with your foot
Left button — back, right — forward (configurable). Press clearly and briefly to avoid double turns. Your hands stay on the instrument.
4️⃣ Extended control
4-button models also switch pieces in a setlist, scroll, and control the metronome and backing tracks. Button functions are programmable for your scenario.
🎛️ Controller types
2️⃣ Two buttons (forward/back)
The basic, most common option. Enough for ordinary reading. Compact, light, simple (iRig BlueTurn, AirTurn DUO, PageFlip Cicada/Butterfly). Optimal for most musicians.
4️⃣ Four buttons
Extended control. Page turns plus moving between pieces, scrolling, metronome, backing tracks, triggers (PageFlip Dragonfly, AirTurn QUAD). For complex programmes and live app control.
🔇 Silent switches
Almost noiseless presses — for recording, the studio and quiet halls where a pedal click is picked up by the mic. AirTurn DUO/QUAD 500, PageFlip Butterfly (switchable normal/silent buttons).
🔋 Rechargeable vs batteries
Rechargeable (AirTurn 500, Coda) — USB charging, long life. Batteries (iRig — AAA, PageFlip — AA) — quick to swap on the road, no charge dependence. Choose by how you use it.
🔌 Compatibility
📱 Platforms
iPad/iPhone (iOS), Android, Mac, Windows — anywhere there's Bluetooth and a sheet-music app. iRig BlueTurn, AirTurn and PageFlip work on all the main platforms. Some modes (AirDirect) are optimised for iOS.
🎼 Apps
forScore, MobileSheets, OnSong, Newzik, Power Music and thousands more. forScore and MobileSheets support all the main models. Check external page-turner support in your app.
⚙️ Operating modes
Most controllers have several modes (keyboard profile, app direct mode). If pages don't turn, switch the mode per the manual. AirTurn has up to 6 compatibility modes.
📐 Tablet holder
For convenience the tablet sits on a music stand, mic stand or holder, and the controller on the floor under your foot. We'll put together a 'controller + holder' set for your scenario.
🎯 How to choose a page turner controller
🔢 Number of buttons
2 buttons — for ordinary page turning (enough for most). 4 buttons — if you need setlists, scrolling, metronome/backing-track control live.
🔇 Switch noise
Playing for recording, in the studio or quiet halls → silent switches (AirTurn 500, PageFlip Butterfly). For rehearsals and stage, normal tactile ones are fine too.
🔋 Power
Frequent gigs → rechargeable (USB, long life). Occasional use and field reliability → replaceable batteries. Keep spares in mind.
🏗️ Build strength
For an active stage → a sturdy metal casing with real footswitches (Coda Stomp). For home and rehearsals a light plastic one is enough (iRig, PageFlip).
