emergentfutures: iPad 2 pushes sheet music, and page turners, off the stage Full Story: Washington Post “Bell isn’t going electric. He’ll step onstage with his prized 1713 Gibson ex Huberman Stradivarius in hand to play a program of Brahms and Ravel, among others. Haywood, however, will carry a new prop for the Steinway, his multi-touch page turner, better known as the iPad 2. Since early last year, Haywood’s Apple-accessorized lifestyle has allowed him to replace paper scores with digital ones archived on his iPad, a shift made possible through a wide array of technology, including the abundance of downloadable scores and Bluetooth-controlled foot pedals for page-turning.” Something which I have been researching avidly for the better part of a year! Best program for simply storing music sheets has been Forscore so far, though there is another program I have not tried yet which is supposedly able to turn the page for you by analyzing your playing. I would also rather use an existing device like, say, my iPhone with its accelerometer as the bluetooth controller, than to buy a separate hardware device. Another amazing advantage - putting new music in. I can go to a lesson or a friend’s house, they could suggest that I learn something, and I can use my iPhone (higher res camera) to take pictures of the pages right then and there and have them all compiled into my iPad’s Forscore app on the spot.
