AirTurn MIDI Remote Controls Setup

AirTurn provides a series of controllers that can be configured to send MIDI commands to Anytune (including PED, PEDpro, DIGIT3, BT200 and BT200S). See 

Note: The new Apple Silicon (M#) devices require the AirTurn BT500 series of remote controls. Shop AirTurn Pedals.  

AirTurn devices send MIDI commands directly to AirTurn controllers. They do not not require a companion app on your Mac or iPhone/iPad. 

Program your controller

Use AirTurn Manager App to configure your AirTurn controller. The AirTurn Manager is available in App Store for iPhone and iPad and the Mac App Store. 

See AirTurn's "AirTurn Manager Setup for MIDI article for more information.

Note: Screen shots below are for the AirTurn Manager running on macOS.  The iOS version looks different but the process is the same.  See IOS Setup image below

1. Download the AirTurn Manager app from the App Store for iPhone/iPad, or the Mac App Store for Mac.
   
   
2. Change your AirTurn Controller to Mode 2 for programming.
   This will allow your AirTurn remote control to connect to the AirTurn Manager app.
   See the Manual for your AirTurn device. Usually, you press and hold the mode button for 2 flashes of the red LED, release, and both LEDs will flash 2 times to confirm the MODE 2 setting.
   
   
3. Run the AirTurn Manager app on your device and connect your controller.
   Choose connect.
   
   Accept the connect request if displayed.
   
   This will pair your AirTurn Controller with your device.
   
   
4. Configure MIDI messages for each pedal. 
   Select "Pedal Actions" and "Mode 7".
   
   
   
5. Assign each Pedal a MIDI CC command:
   

   Mechanism: Use Latch or Command (Anytune ignores the data form most commands)
   Type of output: MIDI
   Channel Number: 1 (or matched to channel Anytune listens on)
   Choose "Custom" and set the CC Number and Data Value to match Anytune
   

   
   
   
6. Click/Tap "Save to AirTurn", "Disconnect" and Close the AirTurn Manager.
   You have now sent the configuration to the controller. 
   
   
7. Change your AirTurn device to Mode 7 for MIDI.
   See the Manual for your AirTurn device. Usually, you press and hold the mode button for 7 flashes of the red LED, release, and both LEDs will flash 7 times to confirm the MODE 7 setting.
   
   
8. Verify your AirTurn Controller is paired to your device.
   The next time you power up your AirTurn Controller it should connect automatically.
   
   When you pair your Controller your device may think your controller is a keyboard and ask you to confirm by pressing a key.  Click a pedal a couple times and  select US ANSI keyboard if you are prompted. 
   
   Note: You can re-Pair your AirTurn Controller in MODE 2 (see Step 2) and once paired return to MODE 7 (see Step 7).
   
   
9. On Mac: (This set is not required for iPhone or iPads) 
   1. Open Apple's Audio MIDI Setup app.
   2. Choose Audio MIDI Setup > Window > "Show MIDI Studio"
   3. Choose Audio MIDI Setup > MIDI Studio > Open BlueTooth Configuration
      
   4. Click Connect for your AirTurn device

You are done. Enable MIDI on in Anytune and you are ready to go!
