Roblevybass Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 Can anyone out there suggest a possible reason why my bluetooth page-turner occasionally flips over multiple pages in ForScore, rather than one? Very disconcerting in the middle of a gig! Should I be looking at a fault in my Ipad, the software or the page turner? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedX Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 Is this controlled by a foot pedal? If so that's where I would be looking first. Does anyone know if there is a utility that can capture and display Bluetooth messages? That would be a good tool to help troubleshoot the problem.

Roblevybass Posted December 13, 2022 Author Share Posted December 13, 2022 Yes, I use a Strich bluetooth page turner pedal. I've tried resetting it several times, but the problem persists. Sometimes it flips over around ten pages and I have to frantically turn back to the intended page, whilst playing..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedX Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 How old is this device? I would suspect mechanical failure somewhere in the pedal mechanism either in the part you press or the electrical contacts beneath, which is causing it to send out multiple messages. I believe you can connect this via USB as well as Bluetooth. It might be worth trying this so we can narrow down the problem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedX Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 Also does the problem happen in both directions or just page forward? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gareth Hughes Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 This might not be relevant but when this happened to me it was because I had my iPad in a case with a bluetooth keyboard. Case was folded over so iPad could sit on regular music stand. Weight of iPad against keyboard was pushing keys in, causing random scrolling. Turned off the bluetooth from the keyboard and all was fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roblevybass Posted December 15, 2022 Author Share Posted December 15, 2022 It's a few years old. I've just ordered a ne wBlue Turn pedal, which hopefully will work. Will report back. Thanks for the help, guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roblevybass Posted January 8, 2023 Author Share Posted January 8, 2023 Well, my new Irig Blue Turn pedal works a treat. So it appears that my old page turner pedal was malfunctioning. It has now been 'retired' from service. The Irig pedal is more expensive than some other page turners. But IMHO it's worth it , as it is a class product. Interestingly, it is manufactured in Italy, which may explain why it's more pricey than many of the far-eastern made pedals on the market... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
