If you can beat the iPad with forScore (or iGigBook, or MusicReader) plus AirTurn pedals, show the world on YouTube.

they are so expensive! i am just looking for a simple, digital sheet music stand on the piano.

@olekike

No such thing as "simple" AND "inexpensive" for digital sheet music. Do some hard Google searching and you will find the truth.

hi. i have a few questions about the product. 1) is it possible to turn pages back? like when im playing and have to repeat from the beginning of the song. 2) does it read .pdf files or it needs a specific format of sheets? thank you

@lourisela

I can tell you that with today's technology (and by this, I'm NOT referring to the Freehand MusicPad), you can use wireless Bluetooth pedals to turn forward and back. You can insert links in a file that can skip you to any other point in the piece. And PDF's are the way to go.

But again, I'm NOT referring to the Freehand MusicPad. You'll notice that this product is no longer available for regular sale.

Yeah it's expensive but it's worth every penny. No more sheet music books the size of telephone books with sheet protectors jumping off the rungs. Easy to import sheet music either scanned images or pdf files and easy to pull songs up during performance. If you have a set list, no problem. You can enter all your set list songs and save them so when you hit the foot pedal to change the page of the last song, it goes to the next song on your list. NOT very good for outside gigs due to glare.

Please, where in Brazil can I to buy thi product? Tks

I use it constantly - the screen quality is not what I would love, but it is adequate and the ease of being able to take ALL of my organ scores, ALL of my conducting scores, ALL of my 'just for fun' music, and 4 COMPLETE HYMNALS with me on a 4gb memory stick is a great thing. The MPP is pricy for the quality of the screen, but that is offset by the ease of use, the ability to notate and manipulate your scores and a host of great features. I almost never (almost) have paper music in front of me.

Guess you haven't seen SamePage.......it's great and does so much more. Plus, it synchronizes all the performance stations, does personal monitor mixing, has great quality and they'll even enter in the LifeWay Music Project (975 hymns) for you!

[steavwbc]

@tsax57

You are right - I haven't seen or used SamePage and I appreciate the 'heads up' on it. I shall check it out. I am waiting for iPad to have just the right software for my needs (essentially score reading & editing, performance use, page turns... OMG page turns...)

Thanks - Steav

bob weir has or had one. I like it. But dunno if its midi compatible so it can send on and off messages for my midi controlled pedal changer and synths

[jagalactic]

I've wanted one for years, but they're too expensive. Freehand needs to get the price dramatically down, or a good sheet music app for the iPad will kill 'em.

Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of the War of the Worlds used MusicPads for their sellout tours of the UK, Europe, Australia and NZ.

Brilliant Technology... if only I could afford one!

[generatrix999]

$1,000... I'll take 4!

[justgotherenow]

Looks great! Would love to see someone use this live on stage scrolling through music at the piano or in a coffee shop with a guitar... not cheap but frees up hands and music stand with heavy songlists... WOW!
