Songbook+ is a piece of garbage. You will have to pay upgrade for each version. I had it from the beginning, and the developer is just an ahole. You are better of with onSong app. Better support, better community

Sorry but I have to strongly disagree with you..... My experiences with "Songbook+" was professional and any problems I had, it was taken care of..

All I know is that when I am finished setting up my Songbook+ with my Yamaha DGX-670. I can:
- Choose a song on the DGX-670 or the Ipad and the EZ Lead sheet is shown on the iPad and the Keyboard is all set up with proper OTS, variation changes, etc...... So I can go Song to Song with a one button click and everything is properly set up.

I just wanted to confirm that I would have the same functionality with the PA5X.

I work with Songbook plus 12 years now and it is No.1 for gigs and song storage/recaller!!! It's perfect and creators always listen to their customers. I can't work without it! Great job!!!

I have to disagree; The work flow in ForeScore is so much better than most any other application for GIGGING musicians; it so easy to create set lists and add songs, you can add mp3 to scores so you can rehearse, and on and on and on. PLUS, I have not paid for ONE single update since purchase 7 years ago. I have it working just fine with the Pa5x through wireless midi.

Does it recall Songbook item when song is chosen vis Songbook plus at first click ?
I am asking because MobileSheet software doesn't work properly in that aspect (but the problem lies on Korg pa5x side)

Songbook plus is made for use with songbook numbers from your Korg. I have used it for a long time. The developer is always on top when there is an iOS update. Always does thorough Beta tests before release. I depend on this for my gigs and it never failed me. I find the subscription fee choice of $.99 per month to $45.99 per year reasonable. Your choice to pay minimal or more. Get the same service. The developer is easy to contact.

Mobilesheet software works perfectly. I have been using it for a while now and installed it because I have an android tablet and not an iPad.

Please let me know if you need help setting it up

MobileSheets is a once off ~US$16 cost and works amazingly well with Korg. It also has a feature within the midi control to only send one message with the song number to the keyboard. It has face gestures built in too - so you can turn you head to the right to select the next page / song or whatever you decide to control with that gesture...!

Highly recommend it.
