J Graul Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 I had my first gig reading charts from my iPad. I used forScore with an AirTurn BT-105 for turning pages. It worked flawlessly. Unfortunately my feet were not so coordinated. I'll need to practice this as I have the airturn, a sustain pedal for the lower keyboard, a switch pedal for the upper keyboard to turn on/off leslie, and a CC pedal for the upper keyboard. Not to mention that due to a sit-in drummer I had to count off each song, make sure the drummer got cues, make sure the singer didn't miss HIS cues, and PLAY! What a night. But the iPad/Airturn combination was GREAT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midiotlv Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 I use ForScore all the time...especially nice when people who also have ForScore are playing along, as you can use one iPad as a 'master' device and page turns and song selections are sync'd to other participating devices. I haven't tried the AirTurn..may have to look into that. Thanks for the report!

NoahZark Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 JG, Curious what type of environment you used the AirTurn in (e.g., loud rock band?) and which pedals you were using with the BT-105 (the ATFS-2 pedals or the Boss FS-5U)? I ask because the AirTurn website indicates that the Boss pedals are better suited for loud environments with floor vibrations (which is my primary situation), but I might also have a need for the silent operation of the ATFS-2 pedals. Therefore, I'm wondering if the ATFS-2 pedals have problems functioning properly in a loud rock band environment. Thanks, Noah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Force Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 I have the AirTurn BT-105 as well. You are right--it takes practice, especially when playing keys. Less so when playing bass.

I-missRichardTee Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Does any non iPad, PC based 11 inch laptop do the same thing as well? I prefer the iPad, but I am starting to see the need for a small PC in my life! You don't have ideas, ideas have you We see the world, not as it is, but as we are.

Moon Zero Two Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Nice to hear it worked out for you. I have used iPad several times, but charts are seldom longer one or two pages. Big thumbs up for fourscore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
