Use forScore for your own music library (original charts etc) which you bookmark yourself.Some people own all three apps and use then for different situations. IRealb (only a chord reader but has many other useful functions too) Video review: /watch?v=w4jmELJD5z0&feature=related
Bluetooth foot pedals only work with this app when you are viewing song from the “Gig Set List Viewer.” Also it will only turn pages forward (though there is a sometimes useful work-around for this if you set up repeats / DCs /DSs etc with the app functions that allow for that. This means you can access one song out of thousands in about 3 seconds.Ĭon: Currently it has annoying limits on it’s functionality with page turners. Pro: Has a at least 30 indexes for all the most commonly owned fake books…importing them takes a little fiddling around but once they are in your app you can find any song, in any book, in time it takes to type the first few letters of the title. watch?NR=1&feature=endscreen&v=F8dPziELNhw
Pro: The most elegant, full featured score reading app and it works well with foot operated page turners.Ĭon: No importable indexes available.you must make your own “live” table of contents and enter searchable metadata if you want that… a lot of work! I also talked about the importance of a having a foot-controlled page turner and highlighted a few of those. I zeroed in on three apps: forScore and iGigbook for sheet music and mentioned another app, iRealb, which is for chord charts. apps that facilitate the reading and production of sheet music on an iPad. The next segment was presented by me and designed to highlight specifically music notation apps…i.e. – Line 6 iRig/Apogee jam/Peavey Ampkit Link – Apple Camera Connection Kit (for USB device connection) A highlight of his presentation was the app called “Reactable”… a realtime performance application that is rapidly growing in popularity and which is based on an interactive performance environment developed and used by the unique and creative recording artist Bjork. A list of his recommended apps are listed below. Mike Carrera started things off with an overview of some of fantastic apps and hardware which can be used to record and manipulate digital audio. There were many questions and some lively discussions around the various topics and pros and cons of the apps. The session was only one hour long so we had to cover a lot in short period of time.
The other contributors were Mike Carrera (manager of faculty technology services), David Harris (Harmony Department), and Michael Bierylo (Electronic Production and Design). On Tuesday,, I and three other colleagues gave a presentation on the use of the iPad in performance applications as part of Berklee’s annual Berklee Teachers On Teaching conference (BTOT). I’m Steven Kirby, faculty in the Harmony Department here at Berklee. The following are the highlights from his presentation. Harmony Department assistant professor Steven Kirby presented a session about using the iPad for gigging at this year’s Berklee Teachers on Teaching faculty development conference.
