How do I use one AirTurn pedal for next song and another for scrolling on iPad?

Answer

Most AirTurn pedals can send separate button actions, but the music app must map those buttons to Next Song and Scroll. Confirm the AirTurn is connected in iPad Bluetooth settings, then assign left and right pedal actions in the app’s foot-pedal or remote settings.

Follow these steps

  1. Confirm the AirTurn Bluetooth connection

    On the iPad you want to control, open Settings > Bluetooth and confirm the AirTurn device shows Connected. If it is connected to a different iPad, forget or disconnect it there first, then pair again.

    You should see: The target iPad shows the AirTurn as Connected.

  2. Open the app’s pedal settings

    Open your sheet-music app and look in Settings for Foot Pedal, Remote, Bluetooth pedal, or AirTurn controls.

    You should see: You find a screen that lists pedal buttons and assignable actions.

  3. Assign separate actions to each pedal

    Map one pedal button to Next Song, Next Page, or Next Track, and map the other to Scroll, Page Down, or continuous scroll, depending on what the app offers.

    You should see: Each pedal side performs a different action in the app.

  4. Test both actions in a real song

    Open a song or chart and press each pedal once. Adjust the app’s scroll speed or page-turn mode if scrolling is too fast or does not move.

    You should see: One pedal advances songs or pages, and the other controls scrolling as intended.

  5. Use mode settings on the AirTurn if needed

    If the app does not see separate buttons, check the AirTurn mode instructions for your model and set a keyboard or HID mode the app supports, then reassign controls.

    You should see: The app recognizes distinct left and right pedal inputs.

Extra tips

What to look for: AirTurn shown as Connected in iPad Bluetooth settings, plus Foot Pedal, Remote, or Bluetooth pedal controls in the music app

Before you change anything: Know which AirTurn model you have, such as ATFS-2 or BT-200. Confirm which sheet-music app you use and that it supports Bluetooth pedals. Note which iPad currently shows the pedal as Connected. Avoid random third-party pairing utilities.
