PageFlip Dragonfly Bluetooth/USB 4-Pedal Controller, PFDRAGONFLY01

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.

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!

I love this pedal. Well worth the money! I use mine while playing piano for church. It takes practice to get the sensitivity of it for turning pages down, but it is a really useful tool. I haven't tried all the features of it out, but it is well worth the money. I also use it with some of my piano students who play off my ipad.

Setup was relatively easy, but the setup directions are not as clear and detailed as should be. Because of this, I haven’t been able to take the time needed to completely set up this unit. I look forward to attempting to do this.

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.

The pedal is everything I hoped for: quality, sturdy and multi functional. I totally recommend it. Probably is the very top page flipper out there. I’d guy it again if I had too. I would definitely recommend it to a friend.
