Yes, the battery is charging during AC operation and there is a meter that shows the amount of juice left while on battery mode. Bernie

The neat thing about it is the ability to arrange playlists anyway you want,and tie it to the keyboard. One example is take your favorites on the SD card, and load it with 9 waltzes,9 rhumba's,etc. Then on the MPP,you make playlists to correspond. You pick a favorite file on the KN7000,and bring up the playlist on the MPP. The search engine is always available also.
For one who depends on written scores, it is a must have if you want to have any continuity to your program.

Hi John As you know, I have used laptops for years, both for midi playback and lyrics and notation.
I scanned several thousand lead sheets into the laptop several years ago. I organised them into categories and it worked fairly well as long as I had plenty of time. Aside from the time it took to find and load, I had a problem with fitting the whole score on the screen. I could use the zoom, but then it was too small for 81/2x11 scans to be read. I tried a scroller, but too clunky.
The second advantage of the MPP is that you can write performance notes on the screen and save it.
Thirdly, I use my laptop for playing back midi notation to play over. I can go from that to playing a style with the score right there in MPP.
The appearance of the score is far superior. The ability to press a footswitch, or tap an arrow to immediately turn a page to the same or next song. The ease of carrying a small tablet loaded with six fakebooks.
While these are advantages, it is not to say laptops are not adequate for many. It is that I need every advantage I can get, and this is one them.
