Full Version: USB and Bluetooth Simultaneous Connection?

I have a Firefly page turner pedal.  I have been using a USB connection because several years ago I had a number of bad experiences (drop outs during gigs . . . using a different pedal) and the USB connection has generally been rock solid.

But, I am starting to occasionally get disconnected and I suspect it might be the USB connection getting worn out. (although it is still usually solid).

So, I will probably experiment with the Bluetooth connection.

But, what would happen if I tried to use both?  Would one back up the other?  Or would the likely interfere with each and/or would likely cause more problems than just using one at a time?

Anyone every experiment with this (or have any knowledge pertaining to this)?

The two should be considered independent input devices as far as the OS is concerned.  I can't seem them interfering with each other in any way.

Thanks, Mike. Yes, it seems to work fine with both connected.

Maybe as long as the pedal is plugged into the tablet via USB, maybe it is not using any (or using less) battery charge?  (Since the pedal is being charge via the USB connection).
