Subject:RE: CHEAT SHEETS, Music STands and BIG TIME ROCK STARS !
The iPad would have been good for my cheat sheets as with lighting changes going on I often couldn’t see them when I needed them.
I have a good friend who was also a keyboard player and he used to shout chords at me when we played together. Before MIDI having two keyboard players in the band allowed us to do a lot of things that one player couldn’t. It was a lot of fun! I think he
reads this group but is a lurker for the most part. Rick if you read this give me a call!.
Cheers,
Gary

I use an iPad 2 on a small stand velcro'd to my Stage 2. It primarily runs Yamaha's "Set List" program, which is a really sweet app that allows you to create 30 setlists of 30 songs each, each song having 5 buttons to send midi commands, and a nice large text area with assignable fonts and backgrounds, and on a few songs I have lyrics in there, and on songs that don't come up often, but do appear, I have chord charts. You can change running orders on those sets very easily, but you cannot cut and paste from one list to another which to me is a serious flaw.
But the thing that I lean on it for is to send program changes to my Stage 2 (which has a clumsy patch selection system, say from getting from A2.3 to C4.5), which then sends the midi changes to my rack.
I also use the iPad to control my in-ear mix from our monitor board.

Yeah Jack it is….often I just had to listen for a few notes and noodle around (quietly) to find the key! ☺

Shouts out the key? Isn't that luxury already? :D
By the way, isn't it odd that no clone manufacture had a stand for
it's clone?(or not? Surely there is non for keyb and mojo, not sure
about clavia and newer suzukis).
