Page turner test

    Test your page turner pedal

    Pair your pedal and start the test. It reads every press exactly as Stage Friend does, so what works here works on stage. No sign-up, nothing to install.

    Test your pedal in about a minute

    The test shows you what to press and tells you what works.

    Pair the pedal first

    Nothing shows up?

    • Check that the pedal is on and paired with this device, not with another one nearby.
    • Tap or click this page once, so it gets the keys.
    • Try another mode on the pedal. Most have several, each sending different keys. A mode that taps the screen or moves the mouse, instead of sending keys, is not read.

    What your pedal can do in Stage Friend

    Each pedal can do up to three things: a press, a double press and a hold. The common keys scroll the lyrics and change songs without any setup, and you can give every press its own command, such as Next song or Start autoscroll. See a page turner pedal for your lyrics and chords, or how to set up your own keys.

    Questions

    No. The test runs in your browser, with no sign-up and nothing to install. Nothing you press is sent anywhere, unless you choose to send us your test.

    Yes. This page reads the keys with Stage Friend's own code and the same timings. Keys that scroll, like Space and the arrows, answer at once in both. One difference: in the app, any other key waits for a double press or a hold only when you have given it one, so a plain press of it answers a little quicker there.

    Page turners that act as a Bluetooth keyboard, which is most of them, such as AirTurn, PageFlip, Donner and iRig BlueTurn. What each can send differs from pedal to pedal and from mode to mode, and we have not tried every model. That is what this test is for.

    Yes. Open this page on the device the pedal is paired with: an iPad, iPhone, Android tablet or phone, or a computer.

    Many pedals send one short press however long you hold them. If yours has a Repeat switch, turn it on: then it keeps sending while you hold it, and Stage Friend reads that as a hold. If not, press and double press still give each pedal two commands, or try another mode on the pedal. Still stuck? Send us the test from its result: it holds exactly what your pedal sent, and we write back.
