■Portacapture’s operability at the palm of your hands The Portacapture Control is an app that provides operability with the same user interface as the touch panel on Portacapture. In addition to the basic REC start/stop, gain adjustment, mixer control, mark registration, and all the other controls that can be performed on the main unit are available on this app. Moreover, you can always check information about the input level, recording progress/remaining time, battery level, as well as set various parameters including low-cut, limiter, and many more effects. ※The AK-BT1 Bluetooth adapter (separately sold) is needed to be able to control the main unit via the Portacapture Control app. For more information on how to connect Portacapture and AK-BT1 or how to use Portacapture Control, please refer to the instruction manual. ※This app does not support monitoring of the main unit’s input sound. To monitor this, please use the headphones output or the speaker function on Portacapture.

The PageFlip app allows you to reprogram the functionality of the pedal, monitor the battery level, and change settings such as the pedal Bluetooth name and auto-sleep time. For example, you can reprogram the pedal to emit a "Play/Pause", "VolumeUp", "Ctrl+Shift+S", or "F12" key instead of the preset keys provided with the default pedal modes. You should only reprogram your pedal if the app with which you use the pedal cannot interpret a default key like "Left/Up/Right/Down Arrow". The features provided by this app only work for V14+ Firefly, V5+ Dragonfly, and V11+ Butterfly pedals. You can check the version number of your pedal on the label on the bottom of the pedal. The Butterfly pedal cannot be reprogrammed, and the app only includes support for monitoring its battery level.
