Topic: Ipad mount's for SX700 and iPad music software

[Dupe]

Hi all, I have two questions. Firstly, is there a music stand adaption mount for an iPad to fit on my SX700? Secondly, I'm seeking a program to load my music pdf's onto my iPad, instead of having select sheet music to play. I noticed a recent link to Fred Smith in the Tutorial section, using "Song Book" app, but couldn't make out who marketed it. Can anybody make a recommendation, based on their own experiences, please?  The Fred Smith tutorial is very good but was posted 10 years ago, maybe other apps have been available since then. Kind Regards Dupe

Dupe,

I use Songbook+, it works great and is easy set up and to load your songs into it.

As far as a music stand adapter for iPad, I have a wall mount one that won't work for you if you gig.

You should be able to find something here though.

For nearly 10 years I have used an Ipad
to display my leadshhets.   I ude a standard
microphone stand to hold my Ipad holder

Go to Youtube and searce for Deane Peters
And you will find videos of my gig setup. Notice
how close my Ipad is to my face.  I have lost
Sight in one eye and have only 20/70 vision
in my remaining eye.  The Ipad works great
and I still play 2-3 gigs weekly.  My Ipad
mount is called. THE GIG EASY.

Hi Rick, I have downloaded the ‘songbook+’ app as you suggested. I have an SX700 what connecting/adapters will I need to get, from my iPad to the keyboard?

Dupe,

Your best option for a sheetmusic app to use with a PSR SX700 will be songbook+ or MobileSheets as they both have a very easy way of linking registration files on the keyboard to sheetmusic in the app. The link is made with the touch of a button.
Below is a document that describes how to go about it when using MobileSheets.

Below are the instructions when using songbook+

MobileSheets has the added advantage of being available on Android and Windows as well (besides iPadOs) - if that is of any importance to you

Good luck and have fun!
