The only issue I've found with my setups is that I can't use a page-turner and the search function for the indexers at the same time because the page-turner basically acts like an external keyboard with minimal function as a result when it's plugged in you can't use the internal keyboard function. I'd expect the newer tablets are even better when it comes to power management. If you have a pad that only has like 10% battery power it will charge from there to maybe 50% in 30 minutes. I make sure my pads are charged before going to the gig but several of the guys I play with leave their chargers in their gig bags and just find a place to plug their pads in for 30 minutes before downbeat. A 4 hour gig uses about 15-20% battery on my large Samsung tablet and 25-30% on the iPad Air. Likewise, the battery life even 8+ years in is no concern unless you insist on paying no attention to it at all. Thing has to have back lighting or it's not even an option for real gigging. Having to remember to bring a stand light would defeat the purpose of having a lightweight cheap e-reader. I, and I would suspect most players, play far more gigs in low-light or dark situations than you play in direct sunlight. I've played hundreds of gigs with these tablets and only 2-3 that the sun was at such an angle it made reading them difficult.

I use iReal Pro as a Real/Fake book indexer and ForScore and Mobilsheets for dealing with web/dropbox downloads and setting up set lists for funk band gigs.įor me neither the glare nor the battery power have been an issue. I've been waiting for someone to make a tablet that will either handle 3rd party apps or have the functionality I want built-in. I've been using an original iPad Air tablet for jazz combo gigs and Samsung Galaxy tablet for funk band gigs for almost 10 years now. Yeah, this is sort of what I've been thinking as well. Since my lead sheets are all in 1 to 2 pages I don't feel the need for a pedal myself, but I'll dig some more when I get some time.Ĭlick to expand. I tried connecting to a wireless keyboard but it did not offer the option to search for a device. I'm afraid BT to a pedal may not work since when I go to BT settings it only offers to connect to a computer. I only used WiFi to connect to a computer for sync so far.

Admittedly I do need to research a bit more about what connectivity options it offers. BTW, this model sells in a 10" size as well if you prefer that. I like to be able to rotate it landscape and still read 2 pages side by side. 99.9% of my music are lead sheets, most in 1 page, a few in 2 pages. It also has the latest generation of finer resolution displays that came out this last July. I thought the Quaderno was really the most straight forward, simple. What put me off were things like needing to sign up with their Cloud service to transfer files and other annoying features. I read reviews of BOOX, SuperNote, Remarkable and others. I looked at the BOOX but didn't like how it operates.

You'll find some manual translations online, but you really don't need it. There isn't much info on them online, being only sold in Japan, but it's very intuitive to use. time will tell how it endures.Īside from the last bullet, there is really nothing I dislike about it. Music notation happens on the computer at home. I carry all other apps that don't need a large display on my iPhone which is always with me anyways. runs Android, no ability to run 3rd party apps.

a con for some, but that's actually a plus for me: longer battery life, thinner device. compatible with virtually any passive stylus. stylus annotation feels just like writing on paper.I sync it to same folder that syncs with my iPad so they all have same content. WiFi or BT sync'ing with a computer for backup.simple, single function: to read and annotate 100's of pdfs organized in folders.

all plastic, making it very thin and light.A4 ( ~Legal correction: ~Letter) size screen !.After a decade watching the eReaders market develop I finally took the jump and bought the newly released 13" Fujitsu Quaderno 2nd Gen a few weeks ago. (I know, we should memorize and play by ear, but I'm not that smart).Īnyways, I always thought a single purpose e-ink tablet would be the perfect replacement for paper sheet music though. I've been happy not to carry a backpack of Real Books and loose sheet music around any longer.

I have many apps in it that I use for practicing music: iPracticePro, AnyTune, tuner, metronome, Notation, etc.

I've enjoyed carrying my large iPad to gigs for several years with a bunch of pdf sheet music (it even survived a few drops from the stand).
