Description

Essential Information About the AirTurn DUO 500 Pedal

  • Hands-free control: turn pages, scroll lyrics/tabs, launch backing tracks, trigger MIDI commands or keyboard shortcuts.
  • Silent and responsive: "silent-tactile" switches with no click noise, ideal for intimate concerts and studio use.
  • Long battery life: over 200 hours of use per charge, with automatic shutdown based on activity.
  • Bluetooth 5: advertised range up to 61 m and "open" or "closed" pairing depending on your context (solo, orchestra, stage).

A Bluetooth pedal designed primarily for the stage... and now a standard for tablet control

The AirTurn DUO 500 was created as a simple solution for musicians who read on tablets and want to turn pages with their foot. Over generations, it has gained in range, battery life, and programming possibilities, becoming a true wireless controller to operate apps, shortcuts, macros, and MIDI commands, while maintaining one philosophy: zero mechanical noise and reliability built for the field.

Who is it for and what are the uses?

The DUO 500 is aimed at instrumentalists (guitarists, bassists, keyboardists, electronic drummers) as well as singers and conductors working with sheet music, lyrics, or teleprompters. In rehearsals, it simplifies scrolling and annotations. Live, it allows you to keep your hands on the instrument to start a metronome, pass a marker, start/stop a track, change scenes in an app or software. In the studio, it becomes a discreet ally to control a DAW with your foot (recording, playback, punch, markers) without disturbing the take.

Features and customization

The DUO 500 includes seven ready-to-use modes (arrow key shortcuts, Page Up/Down, play/pause, mouse click, etc.) and a MIDI mode to send commands to a Bluetooth MIDI-compatible application. Through the AirTurn management app, you can create custom assignments (keystrokes, macros, mouse clicks, or MIDI), adjust auto-repeat, inactivity timeout, and choose switch behavior (Momentary, Latching, Pulse, or Command). Firmware updates are supported to stay current with features.

Sound characteristics

This is not an audio effects pedal: the DUO 500 does not color the sound and adds no noise to the signal chain. Its "signature" is silence underfoot and a clear tactile feel, designed to trigger actions without interfering with microphone takes or very quiet passages. Where it shines for guitarists and live musicians is in controlling effects apps, scenes, sequences, or backing tracks: you gain fluidity, precision, and focus on playing.

Product not easy to set up but don't despair. You need to find the right settings and the right app to use. The list of these compatible apps is available on the manufacturer's website. After that, it's pure happiness. Great product.

Works perfectly well with my tablet and the mobilesheets app. The pedal is responsive and quiet. However, it's a bit expensive for what it is.
