Title: Which music reader fo Genos?
Post by: Oldden on April 01, 2021, 01:08:45 PM

Simple question, which is best Forescore, Musicreader+ or something else.
I’ve got loads of pdf music , lots of which are printed and getting out of hand. So I would like to copy the digital versions of them onto my iPad and/or my windows tablet to work with my Genos. No idea which to pick, any help would be welcome.

I think MobileSheets Pro is the best choice (Win). The only drawback is that the wireless connection cannot be made.

Oops, my mistake.
I should have said songbook+ or forescore or something else not Musicreader.
Senility strikes again.

In the beginning it was only a version for andorid, from a year ago it also exists for win10.

I think the answer also depends on how you want to use the selected program. 

I use SongBook+ on iPad . . . . .it contains all my PDF's . . .. . . the iPad is wirelesly connected to Genos keyboard (via a wireless midi device). Songbook+ enables me to control the Genos registrations from the iPad/Songbook+ and the other way around.

In other words, when i select a PDF file in the iPad/Songbook+, the corresponding Genos registration is immediately loaded. The other way around too. . . when a Genos registration is selected manually, the corresponding PDF shows on the iPad screen.   

Thanks

I've used Unrealbook for years and think it's the best overall program for sending midi controll messages, system exclusive messages  and sorting big pdf files ie: Fakebook's. However, recently I have switched to Songbook+ for the wireless connectivity.Works very well indeed.
 It's great👍

I too have used unrealBook for a bunch of years ... I like the way it works and it has plenty of
features for many things .. MIDI (which I use for Registration recall), set lists, searches,
metadata (database/keywords), lots of useful features . . .

I use it for wireless features too ... both for my page-turning pedal, wireless MIDI to my Genos
(via mi.1connect midi device), and WiFi for networking several iPads (for several musicians), all
who are using unrealBook.  When I change to a different song (PDF), all the other pads change
wirelessly . . .
