1. IK Multimedia iRig BlueTurn
Musicians who play according to digital sheet music know the strains of "turning the page" on the iPad/iPhone only too well. If you don't have someone at hand to take on this task for you, you have no choice but to do it yourself and have to interrupt the game. This is not only annoying during rehearsals, but also during a performance. Thanks to the iRig BlueTurn from IK Multimedia, the page turning problem is out of the world. The Wireless Pageturner is controlled with the feet so that you can turn the page without interrupting the play/presentation/conducting. Apps that make it possible to read electronic sheet music on a tablet, iPhone, iPad, etc. shoot like mushrooms out of the ground. The advantage of such an app is that you don't have to carry a pile of paper or lose valuable notes somewhere. In addition, if you try to turn a single harmless page on the music stand, the leaves fly around your ears. With the iRig BlueTurn, you don't have to let go of your instrument to turn the page. The compact, sturdy, lightweight foot pedal conveniently flips to the next page with a single press of the foot. With the iRig BlueTurn, IK Multimedia demonstrates great sensitivity with regard to musicians. That's why they know you're often in the dark. For this reason, the two buttons were illuminated. This way you know exactly where the keys are, even if it is dark on stage or casts some unfavourable shadows. Bluetooth 4.0 not only ensures that the Pageturner is wireless, but also that power consumption is low.
