Mail of the Month - September

Can't help but publishing one of the best and nicest Rude Practice Pad reviews (so far):
Excellence: you can get an App for that. I've been playing drums and percussion for 43 years and still enjoy practising and performing rudiments. I believe they are the road to brilliance (and a great way to gather a crowd in a music shop, incidentally) and that calls for regular practice/repetition to develop muscle memory and neural pathways. Practice is most effective when it is enjoyable, and it is most enjoyable when the musician themself calls the shots. Step forward this App; nothing further needs to be said.
What can I say but Thanks!

A Merrier Christmas with a new Fakebook Pro

Just in time for Christmas, there is now a new release of the Fakebook Pro music reader app available on Google Play and Amazon : Double tap screen to go to the next song (a single tap still moves to next or previous page). New control to make photo or PDF black & white and increase contrast. Perfect when using the mobile or tablet camera to scan paper music! Metronome tempo now shown in list and music header. New symbols on chord keyboard. Plus, a few important bug fixes for key/pedal mapping and annotations on some devices. Available now! Merry Christmas!

Check out the new Stomp pedal with Fakebook Pro

As a gigging musician your hands should be focused on playing music. Not turning pages. While your Fakebook Pro app made it easier to carry your charts and lyrics, you still have to take your hands off of your instrument to change pages. Unless you get a wireless pedal, of course. The Stomp pedal is a rugged, durable, and reliable app controller, making it the obvious choice for professionals and hobbyists alike. Stomp is housed in a solid metal enclosure, rugged enough to be run over by a truck, so it will handle any gig, night after night. Just throw it in your bag or attach it to your pedalboard and go off to the next gig. Stomp uses Bluetooth 4.0 and is tested compatible with the Fakebook Pro app. Check it out at https://codamusictech.com/products/bluetooth-page-turner-music-pedal-for-tablets  .

Finally! Started to write a Fakebook Pro Manual...

OK, I know this should have been done a long time ago. But, as most developers, I tend to avoid writing user manuals and other documentation. ("The software is sooo easy to use anyway", "That feature is self-explanatory, isn't it?") Well, now I have at least started. If you want to have a sneak preview on a very early alpha version (there are a lot of empty sections at the end...), please have a look here:  Fakebook Pro Manual 3.3 alpha
