PageFlip Firefly Bluetooth Page Turner Pedal – Programmable, Illuminated Foot Pedal for iPad, Android & PC – Hands-Free Sheet Music Control – Works with forScore, OnSong, MobileSheets & 100+ Apps

It's not often that I find a device that just does everything I need it to do so easily and reliably. The PageFlip Firefly does this for me. (And no I don't work for this company but I wish I had invented it.) I absolutely love this pedal. Amazing quality and Customer Service is thorough and provides help if needed. I've tried a number of page turning pedals and this one always performs consistently and reliably. The 2 pedals (page forward & back in my usual mode) are easy to find and, if I'm in a dark room, the optional light on each pedal works great for finding the correct button to press. Battery life is crazy long too. I play drums and my feet and hands are busy working to play the music so it is imperative that when I take my foot off a drum pedal that I can get back on it after going to the PageFlip without loosing a beat. Everyone in my last band used this pedal as well for Guitar, Keyboard & Bass. They loved it too.

The PageFlip Dragonfly USB/Bluetooth Pedal is the absolute best companion device for musicians for hands-free control over their sheet music apps running on an iOS or Android Tablet. The 4-pedals operate silently. You do not hear any clicks when pushed making this device ideal in a studio setting. I have been using this device to turn pages in MobileSheets, Songbook+ and ForScore on a 12.9” iPad Pro. You can download the free software from PageFlip to program the pedals on your PC or Mac after establishing a Bluetooth connection. This software lets you assign Keys found on a standard QWERTY keyboard including modifiers like Ctrl, Alt, Shift and Win/Cmd. You may also assign Hot Keys like Play, Stop, Volume Up, Volume Down, Mute, Right Mouse, Left Mouse, etc. Once you have programmed the 4 pedals, you can save these settings under one of the 5 memory banks called Modes. The 5 Mode Buttons gives you access to 20 key combinations that you can trigger from your Dragonfly. One mode can be active at a time. The red LED below a Mode Button indicates the active mode. Besides turning pages in Sheet Music apps the Dragonfly is ideal for triggering frequently used hot keys on desktop software running on your PC or Mac. I have programmed it to take Screenshots in IrfanView and Snagit and navigate through cells on large Excel spreadsheets. Turning on the REPEAT switch comes in handy. I keep the LIGHT switch always turned on. It helps to see the pedals in the dark. The Dragonfly runs on 2 AA alkaline batteries. The unit auto shuts off after 30 minutes on idle. You can view a short video on the PageFlip YouTube Channel where George Wolberg, the inventor of this gadget explains his frustrations as a musician trying to turn the pages on his music book while he plays the piano. That is what led to his perfect solution. I am delighted with the prompt and helpful Customer Service from George. I am 100% satisfied with the PageFlip Dragonfly. It has served all my needs as a musician and programmer.

I looked at all the options. This one works. It's silent and dependable. Bluetooth or wired option is nice.

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!

I bought the version 4 firefly eight years ago in 2017. It still works as intended with a couple small quirks. Occasionally, I need to reset the Bluetooth on the unit to get it to connect, but that is generally after it hasn’t been used for quite a while. After the first year or so, the off on switch was not making good contact. I was able to correct this situation with an old can of RadioShack tuner cleaner. The other switches don’t contact very well, but no issues after I cleaned them. I think the switches should be of better quality. Other than that, it still works great.

Plug and play. Works well with a galaxy tab and music sheets. A bespoke carry case would be a nice accessory.

Perfect!

Bought the Dragonfly, mainly for scrolling left / right. Unfortunately these are on the secondary buttons which are a little more fiddly to locate with your foot rather than the large primary button. Downloaded the software to programme them differently. On a Mac this is greeted with “malicious content cannot be verified”. Emailed the help desk three times and got the same reply “watch the video”. This doesn’t address the issue. In the end I risked it. The Dragonfly pairs easily to the Mac. It shows it’s connected and works using the secondary button, the software, however merely shows “disconnected” and won’t let you programme anything. After weeks of fruitless trying sent it back for a refund. However, I did buy a Firefly, which requires no programming and works out of the box without having to contact the manufacturer, which is a bonus, as they are unhelpful and a little unfriendly.

Lo pedí porque se me había roto el antiguo. No quería arriesgarme a otra barca peor es más caro que la competencia. No me llegó a tiempo. No lo enviaron. Así que que compre otro modelo. Hacen todos lo mismo. Es muy buena idea poder pasar las páginas de la tablet con el pie. Lo recomiendo. Pero sobre el modelo a elegir, no recomendaría este por precio.

Ich benutze den PageFlip ausschließlich zum Blättern in Noten und Partituren. Meist in Verbindung mit ForScore auf einem iPad Pro. Die Verbindung war innerhalb von Sekunden hergestellt und wenn man die Beleuchtung am PageFlip deaktiviert, halten die Batterien auch wochenlang. Kann ich empfehlen!
