USB Page Turner, Digital Way of Flipping through Musical Score

  October 5th, 2007



Talk about filling a need: Bili, Incorporated, makers of the Page/Score Turner, saw the suffering of musicians struggling with a long standing issue, and decided to market an invention that might just make a difference. As you can probably guess from the name, the USB Page/Score Turner turns pages of musical scores – but not in the way that you'd expect. Instead of a mechanical process that captures and turns pieces of paper, the USB-based Page/Score Turner eschews paper entirely and opts for a digital solution: musical score display on your computer through software, and a simple, two-button foot pedal for turning pages.

Bili, Inc. guarantees 200,000 clicks from the LED-lit buttons, and built a metal base and no-slip rubber pads into the controller's base for ease of use. However, the Page/Score Turner's biggest asset may be its biggest flaw: many people do not enjoy staring at a computer screen for the hours of time required for truly effective instrument practice, and not all music may be available in convenient digital format without some inconvenient scanning. The Page/Score Turner may just be a good idea a little before its time.
