Unable to walk and chew gum at the same time, I’ve always admired how musicians can play and turn the page on sheet music without losing the plot.
They may need a little less coordination now thanks to a new iPad app and a Bluetooth foot switch called BT-105.
Still a prototype, maker Airturn says this Bluetooth version of their wireless, hands-free automatic page turner will be compatible with Bluetooth-enabled computers including the iPad.
With the tap on a foot switch, you turn to the page forward, if you hit it too soon, another tap turns the page back. On the demo, the musician flips the switch using a third-party app with a zoom feature, moving the sheet music half a page at a time.
Expect to see start seeing this page-turning app in late 2010.
