I am a musician who
plays for all sorts of professional engagements and I find the MusicPad
Pro ideal for playing in all the many verities of engagements I
undertake. I have now put thousands of sheets into it (and yet, unlike
my old music case, it still weighs the same) and can for instance using
its easy to assemble or reorder Playlist, play for hours without
stopping, whether Background Music, Singalongs, Musical Theatre (where
its Backlighting is invaluable) or whatever.
My keyboard is also very programmable and so with the MusicPad
Playlists arranged in the same order as my keyboards registration files
(memorised settings that include the tempo, beat, voices etc that I
have saved for that song/piece) I use my left foot on the MusicPad
pedal to turn the page and my right foot on one of the keyboard pedals
to advance the registration on through the sequence I've set for that
song.
It's also very easy to browse to find a song quickly for a request
(much quicker than on the keyboard, very often)
It's very easy to scan sheet music into the MusicPad or to use PDF
sheets/books that are freely available on the internet. In addition you
can download purchased pieces from a huge website.
I don't know how I managed before, with the approximate 20 books I took
around with me and a separate index to tell me which book a particular
piece was in. I certainly couldn't assemble a 'Playlist' in the same
easy way.
My MusicPad Pro is now as fundamental and vital a piece of equipment to
my success as a top keyboard and sound system.

The Music
Pad is a must have for all
Musicians who need to carry a lot of music. It has great capacity and
external memory can insure that you would never need to carry any
music, no matter how much you may have. It can be used not only for
music but for Lyrics – Playlists or any number of uses which a musician
may have as a prompt in performance or even in giving a speech. Further
it has the capacity to highlight, numerate and edit. It is an excellent
all round tool. For reading you may view in expanded versions, with
page numbers at the bottom or with nothing showing at all giving a true
100% fit to the screen. Page turning is further facilitated by a foot
pedal or screen touch back or forward.
The use of colour for text and ‘messages’ is an added bonus by using
pro tools.
The highlight of using the pad is the exemplary support the team and
the forum members give which is unequalled in my experience.
All in all an excellent piece of kit with nothing to equal it.

For me, the MusicPad Pro's
most outstanding feature has been it's total reliability over the last
few years - an absolute essential when you are using such a device for
gigging! This reliability also included two very nasty bumps. Once when
knocked over whilst on stage and once when I slipped down a flight of
stairs whilst carrying it and my amplifier! I got hurt but the MPP
didn't!

I have been playing piano since age 7. Ten years into retirement I have
still not mastered the "art" of turning pages (and the pages remaining
"turned")!
Since discovering the fabulous Music Pad Pro (MPP) I am happy to report
that page-turning issues are a thing of the past.
With a simple addition of the optional foot-switch, page turning is no
longer a challenge, allowing the music to flow without any (previously)
missed bars because both hands can be on the keys.
Within the context of page turning in the MPP, the ability to use a
"look ahead" facility also gives me a much more confident and smoother
performance.
The "Annotation" feature of the MPP allows me to create personal
playing style notes within each piece of music. All safely filed and
retained for each time that piece is used.
Another major benefit to me is the ability to create "Play Lists" by an
easy drag and drop method from my MPP file archive of over 3,500 songs
(and growing).
These "Play Lists" allow me to create a programme of music to fit any
occasion and duration so that the event is a simple and unflustered
process that also increases my confidence and air of professionalism.
Music files can be obtained from various "web" sources (some freeware)
and imported into the MPP. Alternatively, music can be scanned and
imported to the MPP using the (included) Music Pad Manager software.
My music collection that currently takes up two bookcases is being
"compressed" into a 4Gb USB stick!
What used to be a chore of humping heavy books to each venue is now no
more difficult than carrying a very neat lap-top-style carry case that
includes the MPP and foot pedal.

I think what I love most about my MPP is the accessibility to my entire
inventory of music without the need to carry the sheet music.
I can retrieve a particular piece of music without wasting much time,
and play it. Not having sheets/binders of music
around gives a less cluttered look to the staging area. The
MPP meets my needs and it is just plain fun to watch the audience try
to get a peak at what is on this viewer and why I'm tapping the foot
pedal. I certainly wouldn't want to return to the old sheet
music again.
