Tom4 wrote the correct setup of settings. Thank you. Attention. Which iPad do you have? The iPad2 does not work because the Bluetooth MIDI is not supported. Late iPads are working.

I have a new IPad, purchased this week.
The instructions work perfectly.
Thanks for all your help guys.

I have sorted out the bluetooth. Thanks Tom.
Imported my pdf files using Itunes and given them the same number in Songbook+ as on my PA4x.
However, I can 't get Songbook to respond/change the PA4x settings? very frustrating !! I have gone into MIDI (under Settings) on Songbook and changed to channel 16. Also PA4X MIDI on Tablet (Channel 16).
I have read 20.4.1 on SongBook+ user manual, 3.2, but no luck.
This shouldn't be so hard !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can anyone help me..

Hi Rosco,

Just to clarify - do you have Songbook+ selecting entries from the Pa4X Songbook working, and are now trying to change other Pa4X settings? Or you haven’t even got Songbook selection working yet?

Don’t be frustrated - just a simple matter of familiarity, it is very much worth the initial effort.

Hi,

I quickly made a short film about how to correctly configure PA4X and SongBook + Apps.

Thanks.
Video was excellent.
I have set MIDI/Control Mode to PA4x.
So simple... but so important. Very Happy

Yes, working perfectly.
It was control mode wasn’t set to Korg SongBook entry.
Thanks for your help.

Are you able to backup the songbook files?

Hi, (Export_B)
very good video.
I saw, that you are working with 2 BT adapters (like me).
It's useful to rename the two devices using the little app on the ipad.

Hi Tom and ExportB,
Thanks for your help.
Do you have a video or instruction on how to connect an additional iPad(for singer) so it mirrors what I have on my iPad (sitting at the keyboard).
Regards, Ross Laughing

Hi,

Sorry, I do not have a movie for this connection.

It's fairly easy. I work in a group of three and works perfectly. One iPad must be on Server's two remaining on Client. In the settings, you need to set which information you are sending and which receiving. We are the two of us who can choose the next song. The third one not have the option to send, but he can choose her own. So all three of us are seeing what the next song will be.

It is very important that the iPad is connected to the network via WiFi. Through this link, you are connected. I bought a Router/Repeater that works on 5G for this purpose. We all have the same song under the same number and it must also have the same song in SongBook of PA4X and under the same number. Texts and extra notes may vary, depending on what one needs. I hope it was understandable. Otherwise RTFM. Very Happy

Thanks.
Does each iPad have to purchase Songbook+ for this to work?
3 x $80 for 3 IPads

Hi, Rosco_Australia

Unfortunately or not. The program is linked to the user and his user account. I have been using this program for several years and many of my colleagues have decided to work with him. This, of course, enables the development of the program. There are already huge upgrades and they will still be, if we will naturally spread a group of users. By doing so, we will be broader compatible with each other. The cost for the first time is not small, but according to the obtained, it is negligible.
