AirTurn BT-105 Pedal Review

The AirTurn BT-105 Pedals are Wireless BlueTooth Pedalboards that allow you to control OnSong hands-free.  Jason and Brandon teamed up to review the AirTurn pedals and give you a quick tutorial on how to use them with OnSong.  Watch the video review and read the highlights below:



Features:
  • On/Off/Reset switch on the back
  • Status indicator light for connection and charging
  • (2) 1/8" audio stereo jacks 
  • Internal 430mAh lithium polymer battery
  • 1 meter USB charging cable
  • AirTurn BT-105 2-Pedal $119, lower cost, great for basic page turning and scrolling
  • AirTurn BT-105 4-Pedal $159, allows for more functions to be controlled in OnSong
Pros:
  1. Sleek and Stylish: Compact design is well constructed and durable.
  2. Hidden Cords:  Electronics are molded into the plastic to protect them and keep them out of the way.
  3. Silent on Stage:  Built for being quiet, including while recording.
  4. Durable:  Made of military grade plastic polymers that you can drive a truck over!
  5. Built in 100 hour rechargeable lithium battery.
Cons:
  1. Indicator Light: Blinking sequence is complicated to learn at first.
  2. Size: The 4-Pedal is big and doesn't fit into a typical laptop bag.
  3. Accessing the Keyboard:  AirTurn Pedals take the place of your onscreen keyboard when connected, which can make using the OnSong editor impossible until the red button on the back is depressed.
  4. Price:  Not as affordable as other wireless pedals available.
  5. Charging:  The battery lasts so long that charging takes time and forgetting to charge the pedals regularly is an easy mistake, leaving you flat just before a gig.
Overall Grade: A

The AirTurn BT-105 pedals receive an impressive A grade, lauded for their silent operation, durable build, and 100-hour battery life. However, potential buyers should note the AES Success high price, large size of the 4-pedal model, and the initial learning curve for the indicator light and keyboard access issue.
