.... you have keyed all the info that shows on your 'lead sheet' ... what software did you use - (you said it is a .doc file?)
Do you have a 'Master List' of songs on the iPAD that you use to set up your 'set lists'?
Does the iPAD hook into the Pa900, and does it automatically generate the correct style and STS settings, or do you generate the song on the iPAD based on calling up the song on the KB, or are there two seperate steps involved?
Obviously I know NOTHING about how the tie - in of the iPAD and Pa900 works, but I certainly would like to learn.
Tony...I can't address all your questions especially as they relate to Korg, but this is how I use ONSONG with my Yamaha, iMac and iPad.
First - Bought the ONSONG app and installed it on my iPad. $20
Second - Bought the ONSONG CONSOLE app and installed it on my iMac. $10
Over the years I have copied, pasted and formatted lyrics into WORD.DOC files saved on my iMac.
By using the ONSONG app on the iPad with the ONSONG CONSOLE app on the iMac, I can, wirelessly move my lyric files from the iMac to the iPad.
From here, all work is done just on the iPad.
Using the ONSONG app on the iPad I can then create SET LISTS in the app that correspond to SET LISTS (registration files) I have set up on my Yamaha S970.
On a gig each song requires 2 steps. I call up a set list file with the necessary registrations on my KB and a corresponding set list of lyrics I need on the iPad. A 1-hour show might have 20+ song registrations all lined up in order in my KB set list. I may not need the lyrics for every song in the KB list, so I load only the lyrics I need on the iPad set list with the ONSONG app and put them in the order they would fall to correspond to the KB list. When I come upon a song in my KB list where I need the lyrics, one swipe on the iPad brings up the file I need.
You might ask why both Onsong apps are needed. It is much easier to create lyric files on a desktop or laptop than on an iPad. The ONSONG CONSOLE gives you the ability to move .doc file into a master file on the ONSONG app. And, from there, you can create your sets. As I copy, paste and format new lyrics to my master lyric list on the iMac, I can then use the ONSONG CONSOLE to update the files on the iPad. The total package ($30) has been worth every penny.
John is using ONSONG features I have not tried yet and am sure he will be happy to share the info with you (and with me).
