Page turner pedals: hands-free chart navigation, zero setup

Tap a footswitch instead of reaching for a screen mid-song. Every pedal and foot switch 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 and you are done.

Quick how-to

Pair the pedal with your device over Bluetooth, the same way you would pair a Bluetooth keyboard. USB foot switches just plug in.
Set the pedal to its arrow-key or PageUp/PageDown mode, using its mode switch or its app. Either one advances and backs up through your chart.
Step on it. One switch advances, the other goes back.

Have a configurable pedal? AirTurn, PageFlip Firefly and PageFlip Dragonfly pedals can be reprogrammed (via AirTurn Manager or the PageFlip software) to send other keys. To drive autoscroll instead of turning pages, map a switch to A (toggle autoscroll) or to autoscroll speed, which the app shows as < / > - map the unshifted , / . keys your pedal actually sends. Performance Mode handles them already. The older [ / ] still work too, so a pedal already mapped that way needs no change.

Bluetooth page turner pedals

Every device here is a Bluetooth HID keyboard underneath, so it types keys at your device rather than needing a driver or an integration. That is why they all work with BandBinder without us shipping per-device support.

USB foot switches for desktop players

If you rehearse or perform off a Windows, macOS or Linux machine, you do not need Bluetooth at all. A programmable USB foot switch is cheaper, never needs charging and never drops a pairing mid-set. Program it once to send PageUp and PageDown (or the arrow keys) and BandBinder treats it exactly like any other keyboard.

Device	Price band	Switches	Modes	Works with BandBinder	Notes	Where to buy
PCsensor 3-key USB foot switch	Budget	3	Fully programmable: each switch sends any key, key combination, shortcut or mouse action you assign it.	Works out of the box once programmed	Configured once on Windows or macOS, then it behaves as a plain USB keyboard on any machine. Three switches is enough for back, forward and autoscroll.	View on Amazon

Windows, macOS and Linux are available now, so this is the lowest-cost way to try hands-free page turning today.

Choosing a pedal for drummers, guitarists and keys players

Drummers

You have the hardest job here: both feet are usually busy. Look for a single-switch or ultra-compact pedal you can place where a hi-hat or kick foot can reach it between phrases, and set BandBinder to autoscroll so you are not turning pages at all during a song. A single-switch pedal that advances on a tap keeps the footprint down next to a pedalboard or throne.

Guitarists and bassists

You already have a pedalboard, so board space is the constraint and silence matters. Silent-switch pedals avoid a click landing in a quiet passage or a live vocal mic. A two-switch pedal at the end of the board is the usual answer.

Keys players and accordionists

Your feet are freest, so this is where a four-switch pedal earns its price: back, forward, autoscroll toggle and speed on one unit. A reprogrammable model is worth it because you can map those extra switches to BandBinder's autoscroll keys.

Singers and horn players

You are usually standing at a mic, so quiet operation matters more than switch count. A backlit soft-button pedal or a silent-switch model keeps the mechanism out of the vocal mic, and two switches is plenty.

Why every pedal "just works"

Performance Mode binds PageDown, Down and Right to advance, and PageUp, Up and Left to go back. That covers the default mode plus at least one more on every device above. The modes we deliberately do not bind (Space/Enter, mouse clicks, MIDI, media keys) all have a working alternative on the same pedal, so the fix is the pedal's own mode switch rather than app code.

Nothing on this page is a paid feature. Pedal support is part of Performance Mode, which is free on every device you own, forever.
