LEKATO Wireless Page Turner Pedal Bluetooth Foot Pedal for Tablets Phone (Android & IOS system above version 13.4 support) - External Pedal for LEKATO Loop Pedal Tuner Switching Control

This compact device seems very well built. I use it with the Music Stand app while performing with the church band and it works flawlessly. It does have very limited features so, if you need something that will scroll through lyrics or run a teleprompter, you will want to look into a more expensive device with more options. For my use, battery life gets me through services and rehearsals for 2-3 weeks. Set up for IOS devices is simple enough and I’m very happy with this purchase.

Got this because I just can't use the normal "soft touch" pedals when I'm wearing shoes. I need something tactile. This pedal is very small so it fits in my viola case easily, and the click is great for knowing exactly when and how many times I'm turning a page. It's also made out of metal so feels very durable. The downside of it is, since it makes an audible 'click' sound, it renders it not useful for recording sessions since it will be heard. I'm used to organizing my page turns so that I can potentially tap, so for me it's not a dealbreaker, but definitely something you should be aware of when purchasing it.

Getting info about how this pedal works together with the Lekato looper / loopstation / loopstage (whichever name is not generating a cease and decist order this week) pedal is like pulling teeth, NO ONE has clear answers, NO ONE on youtube shows you exactly which, what, or how. People doing reviews say "I wish it did this" implying the page turner doesn't do things it actually does do. Other people make 35-minute video demos of the looper and give you no actual information on the page turner OR the looper, just making you listen to their noise while they praise their new free pedal and plug their pay-sites. Even the maker's own video demos totally gloss over the how and why part of things, it is an accessory shrouded in mystery. Why? Because it's a cheap pedal and a cheap accessory, but in relation to the price of the actual pedal it's an expensive accessory. So this is what I've concluded: I don't know about turning pages on your smartphone, but regarding use with Lekato loop pedals, here is what is important to know: 1. It DOES work wirelessly with bluetooth (or voodoo, or witchcraft, or whatever they're actually doing to make it connect) you switch the page turner on FIRST (I put the switch on the android side but I don't know if it matters) the light on the page turner will blink and THEN plug in the 9v to the looper pedal, when the two connect the blinking light becomes solid. That's it, they are now connected. 2. When connected by wire or wireless, it works EXACTLY as the 2 (left and right side) buttons on the looper pedal do, this means: - Hold down the 2 footswitches together to engage or disengage (the inaccurate) tuning mode. HOLD DOWN BOTH sides at once TO WIRELESSLY ENGAGE TUNER, don't let me glaze over that. - Hold down the right-side switch to engage the mode which automatically starts recording when it receives audio (you start playing, it begins recording). The little indicator will show up on the lower right of the loop pedal itself, if you hold it down again it will turn off. If you mess up and cancel the recording on the main pedal, the mode automatically disengages, so do this process again to re-enable the auto record mode because it can be engaged or disengaged as your loop is still playing and it saves a lot of time and bending over if you frequently mess up the timing and have to re-record a layer like I do. 3. To move between your looper recordings: example - Recording 1 is playing, press the right-side switch once and the number will advance to 2, it will then move to recording 2 AFTER the current loop ends - if you advanced it to recording 4 it will move from 1 to 4 AFTER the current loop ends, it's very convenient if you have a "track" sequenced with different parts coming in through progressive loops which you are playing over the top of, it's essentially a foot controlled song mode. You can jump to the start of any of your recorded loops, in or out of order forwards or backwards. 4. I haven't used the pedal excessively, but the battery seems to last a long time, I think I've charged it twice and the second time was just because I thought that it can't possibly last this long on one charge. 5. It is crazy small, if you are an adult human or possibly a human in general it may be uncomfortable getting used to, it may also be too small for you to see what you are doing when your foot is near/over it or use reliably but it is very portable (the pedal and this footswitch are both like that Zoolander "center for ants" joke, only it's real). So, if you are looking to fill a gap between full size pedals these could be hard to access. 6. The build quality is decent (decent in imagined italics) and I can't speak to the quality or reliability of the electronic components, only time will tell. they are not exactly soft switches, but I've felt worse momentary footswitches. I also have not done any distance challenge testing on how far away the wireless connection will go but it's presumably bluetooth which has a limit and it would be best to observe and work around that limit if it matters to you. That's everything I can think to answer your "is it worth it?", "can it?" or "how do I?" questions, but ultimately the value is in how you will use the looper pedal or if buying this for turning pages, how important it is to you to be able to turn pages wirelessly with your feet. Does the cost exceed the benefit? If you have no reason to do any of these things I've described, you are a looping pro who does not make mistakes, you only intend to play over one track at a time and your footswitch timing is immaculate so you can start and stop at exactly the right times while calculating the amount of time between foot release and recording start or stop without breaking a sweat, then this pedal will not impress you. I'm a lame, I am not a looper pro, I think that with a cheap pedal (loop stage) this equally cheap accessory (page turner) is a worthwhile addition - these are functions that make the pedal a real tool. They sold you the shovel blade, now buy the handle.

This works great! I use it with the guitar tabs app and my ipad mini 6. The trick is you need to first download the app from this product to set it to “keyboard A.” Then you can close this app. (That’s the one helpful thing in the instructions. Other than that it was very intuitive.) Once you do that, guitar tabs recognizes it and you can program what each button does from the guitar tabs app as you normally would. The switches are soft click momentary. They don’t make a clock noise like a typical guitar foot pedal. The great thing about this pedal is you can also run a 1/4 trs cable to another define and use the footswitch in that regard too. You can use one switch for Bluetooth, and the other as a tap tempo for a pedal, for example. Note these are normally open (NO) switches, so they probably won’t work hardwired to boss pedals which use normally closed (NC). All that aside, for the Bluetooth alone this is great, been working for days, syncs right up with my iPad. Another great feature: built like a tank and takes up very little space!

I bought this item on July 31, 2024, and put it away for use in the future, without trying it out - yes, my mistake! Should have tested it first! I finally took it out of the box and followed all of the instructions in the box (slightly confusing) and online (much better) to charge, connect to Bluetooth and with the button set to IOS - and it does not work. It charges, it connects to Bluetooth, its presence is read by the app on my iPad mini, but it does not scroll at all - in either mode. I found a YouTube video short of a user with the exact same problem a while back. I have a newish iPad mini, IPadOS Version 18.5, and I'm wondering if that is the problem, since this tuner looks like a an older technology. Are they not compatible? This is frustrating as I hoped to use it with both lyrics and instrumental sheet music for gigs. It's way beyond the time to return it, so I guess I'm just stick with a piece of useless equipment. :-(

Not easy to get it to work with Aklot looper, but once I figured it out, it works as expected (multi-phrase looping system).

Muy bueno

This is the second one I bought from a different seller, neither one works. The first one worked well as a page Turner when connected to my iPhone, but I bought it to switch the Lekato looper between loops. Neither one did that. Every thing else about the looper works fine, so either the pedal Turner is crap or the connection at the looper is crap. Lekato tech help did respond to me, but they want me to email a video….there is no way to make it short enough to show the problem and the file still be small enough to email. The problem is pretty self descriptive using words, seems like they just are making it seem like they care but really don’t. I would return the looper if it wasn’t past the return date. And I also have to pay for return shipping for both, so much for being a Prime member.
