Hi Audrey
The viewable dimensions are 7 3/8 x 9 3/4. I sit mine on the music rack with stand holder through the wire and twisted upward to secure it. Some use velcro. The MPP can be oriented up and down, or in Portrait mode(on it's side). The type depends on the size of the scan type. There is a zom feature and fit to size. My eyes are getting old and I don't have a problem. Bob Hendershot has a way of enlarging, also.
The footpedal I have was bought with the system. However, any pedal that is normally closed will work if it's stereo and can be adapted to and 1/8 hole. One ring is forward, and the other backwards. You need two to go in both directions. I would try yours with an 1/4 to 1/8 adaptor or buy a Boss FS-5US, or theirs.
Joan, you certainly do owe it to yourself.
Cheers Bernie

I would love to go, but travelling abroad is not possible for me at the present time. Don't forget for all practical purposes, this is 8 1/2x11(No margins)that appears the same. It does not scroll,but flips pages. There is a provision for putting two pages side by side in portroit mode, although I have not done that.
As far as connecting it to a KN7000, please remember this is really a tablet computer with special software that stands alone. It can be placed anywhere and operates on battery or AC power.

First of all, don't worry about capacity. I have a 2GB Sandisk inserted into mine that will hold thousands of songs. You can swap out sticks at will. The formats are many, including Jpeg,PDF,Lime etc. The best one depends on clarity achieved by your system.
The procedure goes like this: With the software provided,scan any page containg the score or lyrics to a file area in your PC from any scanner. You can categorize them into subfolders any you like. Once you get enough, you bring up the remote Musicpad(enabled by the same software you have installed) and import these songs to your Musicpad. The files are then converted to Freehand format. It is quite easy once you get ahold of the procedure.
Once you load the songs to the MPP, you can arrange them in playlists where you can bring them onto the screen sequentially with the tap of your pedal, or tapping the forward arrow. If the song is more than one page, you can "append" them together so that tapping page one will bring you to two etc. There are other things you can do like writing eraseable notes on the score. I use this to connect my score to a location on my keyboard.
I would not be without mine and I paid $1200 plus stand and case, and pedal. They are now about $900, with a recent price drop.
Bob Hendershot is my mentor on this machine, but this will give you a laymen's perspective.

Hi Audrey This is a computer, and as such, has a limited battery life. It can be extended by lowering the brightness and sleep mode. The fact is, I don't even care, as I plug it in with my keyboard etc. In all the jobs i've played, I haven't ever had to put it on battery, except one. I forgot to bring my cord and was happy that it had battery backup.
Bernie
