Irig Blueboard App
I am glad I found a way to use my iRig BlueTurn with my Windows tablet and wanted to share this with you. As IK Multimedia does not supply a working windows driver for the Blue Turn it won't work on a Windows PC or tablet, only on Android or iOS and large Android tablets for MobileSheets are getting rare these days.
No rocket science, but what works is to use an Android mobile as an intermediate: Connect the iRig BlueTurn to your mobile and then connect MobileSeets Android with MobileSheets on Windows with the 'connect tablet' function and, voila, the iRig turns pages on Windows as if it were designed for it. Very cool to use my BlueTurn with the large screen of my Windows tablet.
Best Regards
IRig BlueBoard communicates via Bluetooth technology so you can place it up to 10 meters (32.8 feet) away from your device and still maintain full control of your apps. The low-profile iRig BlueBoard is only 9.1” (23cm) wide, and it runs on 4 - AAA batteries. The iRig BlueBoard is a rugged and well-built, albeit plastic, pedal board that features four backlit rubber buttons. Powered by four AAA batteries, the BlueBoard also features two extra MIDI inputs to connect expression pedals. Complete with its own app, the BlueBoard converts the control signals to MIDI, allowing you to pair the device to. The iRig BlueBoard MIDI pedalboard is powered by four AAA-sized batteries, has a wireless range of 33 ft (10 m), and at 10.82 x 3.62 x 0.98 in (275 x 92 x 25 mm) and 8.81 oz (250 g), won't add too. IRig BlueBoard is IK’s wireless bluetooth MIDI pedalboard, letting you control your music apps and more, right from the floor.

With this morning’s update to forScore 6.1 and the exciting addition of MIDI integration, it’s worth taking a look at IK Multimedia’s wireless MIDI controller: the iRig Blueboard. We’ve been testing one over the past few weeks and found it to be a compelling and capable controller, worth considering if you’re looking for a page turner.

The popular existing choices, the AirTurn BT-105 and PageFlip Cicada, are distinct takes on what a page turner should be and have their own advantages and disadvantages, but the iRig Blueboard is an even bigger departure: it uses Bluetooth 4.0 for incredible energy efficiency, features four soft backlit buttons instead of pedals, and communicates via MIDI instead of impersonating a standard computer keyboard (which works around iOS’ cumbersome virtual keyboard behavior).

The iRig Blueboard requires an intermediary app to function, so you need to install it and keep it running in the background whenever you want to use the Blueboard. This is perhaps the biggest disadvantage when compared to other page turners, although the app does give you the added ability to program the four backlit buttons to send different signals. You can use forScore to map those signals to specific functions, just like you can with the other page turner options (choose “Settings” from the tools menu, then select “Page turners & shortcuts”). All in all, it’s a great option for anyone who can benefit from MIDI compatibility in other apps, and the best deal for four controls in a power-conscious, self-contained package.
