TheGigEasy iPad Workshop

"Complete Music Solutions for iPad"

An informative workshop featuring live performance and expert advice about iPad apps and hardware accessories.

Presented by TheGigEasy
Co-Founders and professional musicians
Darren Kramer and Brian Monroney

TheGigEasy Co-Founders, Darren Kramer and Brian Monroney, are now presenting a live cutting-edge interactive performance workshop around the country to demonstrate how the iPad is transforming the way musicians work and play. These business partners are both full-time professional musicians with a passion for technology and education and they have created this new special presentation as the latest addition to the “Consulting” division of their growing iPad accessories company in a dedicated effort to help musicians with the transition to tablet computers.

Both partners have been longtime Apple users and the announcement of the iPad back in early 2010 is what inspired them to create their Colorado-based company. President Darren Kramer states “TheGigEasy was created to provide complete music solutions for the iPad. We are thrilled to have been providing fellow musicians with iPad hardware solutions since Dec 2012 (TheGigEasy Mounts, AirTurn Page Turner) and now have our own software app (TheGigEasy App released June 1, 2012) However, we’ve discovered that musicians have many questions and concerns about all of this new technology, so we’ve started a consulting service division to our company in order to help provide answers by sharing our knowledge. We show musicians, students and educators how to get started, what equipment to buy, how to scan and import pdf files, what apps are best for their needs, etc.” Contact Us to book this workshop for your school or event today!

FAQ Troubleshooting Support
Help Index - This is the built-in help index of TheGigEasy App which is also accessible on your iPad by tapping on the "?" in the Nav Pane of TheGigEasy App.

Indeed you can.

If you attach your device to iTunes and sync - and go look in the list of
PDF files associated with TheGigEasy in iTunes, you will see a file
named "TheGigEasy.sql".

That is a SQLITE3 database. You can use any tools that you want to fiddle
with the database and then resync.

You will find a number of tables - and I'll spell them out for you below.

The difficult thing will be the SOfile field of the Songs table. That is
the actual filename associated in the machine. So you would first load
all your songs and then export so you could see what the software put for
that field... and associate that to your info. That would also make all
the other default fields the proper values.

Here are the tables definitions:

Songs: Holds all the song information

   SOid         - A unique number (primary key)
   SOfile       - The actual file name of this song in the device
   SOtitle      - The name of this Song
   SOproject    - Information about the Song Project
   SOartist     - Information about the Song Artist
   SOgenre      - Information about the Song Genre
   SOinstrument - Information about the Song Instrument
   SOarranger   - Information about the Song Arranger
   SOcomposer   - Information about the Song Composer
   SOnotes      - Any comments, notes
   SOkey        - The songs key (an indexed field)
   SObpm        - The songs BPM (an indexed field)
   SOcrop       - The crop string (very complex)
   SOhide       - The hide string (very complex)
   SOback       - The background color (very complex)
   SOmajorminor - The major/minor indicator
   SOquality    - The render quality
   SOtime       - The song length in seconds
   SOpid        - The current PID (leave untouched )

Sets: Holds the Set names for each set

   SEid    - A unique number (primary key)
   SEtitle - The name of this Set

SetSongs:   Holds the songs for each Set

   SSid   - A unique number (primary key)
   SSseid - The ID (SEid) of the Sets record for this song
   SSsoid - The ID of the Song record for this song
   SSseq - The sequence number (order in the set) 1-n

Wiz: The Wizard Search Names

   Wid    - A unique number (primary key)
   Wtitle - The name of the Wizard Search

WizTerms: The Wizard search terms

   WTid   - A unique number (primary key)
   WTwid - The ID (Wid) from the Wiz database for this record
   WTseq - The sequence number (1-n)
   WTlogic- The Logic index (number for AND, OR etc)
   WTwhat - The What expression index (Authors, etc)
   WTexp - The Expression index (Equals, etc)
   WTterm - The Equation term

Again... I would load all your songs to get most of the above records to
default values, and then export (sync), merge your information and resync.

Of course, if this doesn't help, please don't hesitate to Contact Us

forScore
$4.99

Half-Page Turns: preview next page while viewing end of current page

Description
forScore was designed as a way to take thousands of pages of score with you on the go. By balancing innovative features like the half-page turns with a gorgeous interface and the most robust library organization of any music reader, forScore proves that you really can have an app that’s both powerful and beautiful. Thanks to forScore’s ability to download virtually any PDF file directly from the web, it’s not only the best music reader around—it’s also the world’s most comprehensive library of sheet music in just 1.5 pounds.*

From the moment you launch forScore, you’ll see how everything was designed to keep your music front and center. All of forScore’s controls are hidden by default and accessible with a single tap. The visual metronome lets you keep time without extra noise, but also doesn’t take up any extra screen space with annoying popups. Auto-turn and half-turn options allow you to navigate without needing to pause in the middle of practice or performance. Turn your iPad sideways for a larger view of your score, and flick up or down with your finger to see the page.

Don’t let the interface’s simplicity fool you, though—forScore has the most powerful organizational system of any music reader. Tag your files with six unique types of metadata (including an unlimited number of keywords) and let forScore handle the rest with a fully dynamic menu system. Unlike files and folders on a computer, scores can be in multiple places at once, so you can spend more time playing and less time scrolling through menus. You can also create and manage setlists for a fully manual approach to grouping and sorting your files.

When it comes to annotation, forScore's flexibility is unparalleled. Create and edit an unlimited number of drawing presets, with full control over hue, saturation, brightness, transparency, and size. Add text to your page with adjustable fonts, colors, and sizes, and leave clumsy controls behind: forScore's text boxes adjust their height automatically as you type. Add common musical notation symbols to the page with our unique stamps feature, and you can even draw or import your own designs with our built-in stamp creator. When you're done, you can share your files and annotations with friends via email, bluetooth, or even print them out with AirPrint!

Lemur
$49.99

App version of pioneering touch-screen hardware controller. Totally customizable interface.

Description
Lemur - the legendary multitouch MIDI/OSC controller returns. All these major artists can't be wrong: Daft Punk. Björk. Nine Inch Nails, Deadmau5. M.I.A., Justice, Hot Chip, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Orbital, Richie Hawtin, The Glitch Mob, Matthew Herbert, Joris Voorn, Stephan Bodzin, Modeselektor, Alva Noto, Richard Devine, Gui Boratto, ... you?

Rock solid standard
Major stadium-touring acts use Lemur on stage. The original hardware version was introduced to the public in 2004 and Lemur software now benefits from nearly 10 years of development. These are just two of the reasons Lemur is the name cited when talking about multitouch control.

Control anything
Lemur is a professional iOS controller app that doesn't cut any corners. It lets you control anything, any way you want. Total flexibility means it can go as deep as you need it to. Lemur can control DJ software, live electronic music performance software, studio production software (DAWs), VJ software, visual synthesis software, stage lighting and more. In fact, any software or hardware that can be controlled by MIDI/OSC can be controlled by Lemur.

A controller unequalled
Lemur has often been imitated but never equalled. The physics engine, which can make faders and balls bounce, is entirely unique: allowing anything from a slight organic feel to absolutely chaotic modulations. Lemur goes deep: it comes with more than twice as many objects as comparable apps. Options for adjusting the look and feel of objects are vast, and connection to your gear is simple.

User Library
Access templates from top artists and the Lemur community. Some of these are actual templates used on stage, others are pure studio or creative tools. Share your own or simply browse the library and download whatever suits your needs.

SPECIFICATIONS

- Objects
Fader; Multislider, Range; Multiball; Knob; RingArea; Switches; Pads; Custom Button; Container; Breakpoint; Leds; LemurMenu; Monitor; SignalScope; SurfaceLCD; Text

- Physics
Hated physics at school? Now you'll love it! The behaviour of many Lemur objects can be affected by powerful and easy to use physical models which can make your controller bounce, rebound and oscillate. Make your controller come alive.

- Scripting
There's absolutely no need to dive into scripting if you don't want to. But if you're the type who likes to get their hands dirty then there's a powerful scripting engine inside Lemur. Harnessing this power will allow you to build extremely dynamic templates.

- Editor
The Lemur editor, is a cross-platform (OS X/Windows) interface builder. It allows you to create new Lemur templates or edit existing ones. The drag & drop interface makes it easy to use. It allows you to create anything from the simplest set of faders to the most complex groovebox with no hassle.

Requirements (for the Editor and Daemon):
- OS X (Intel only) 10.5+
- Windows (XP SP3 or 7 recommended)

- Connectivity
Simply connect your iPad/iPhone to your laptop over Wi-Fi and make the connection! Lemur also supports CoreMIDI allowing you to use hardware interfaces such as Alesis' iO Dock or the iConnectMIDI or class-compliant USB MIDI interfaces (with a camera connection kit). You can even control up to 8 computers from one iPad with Lemur!

The Main page mirrors Omnisphere’s unique Live Mode offering 8 patch slots with latching and trigger modes, individual mute and solo, and mixer faders. Browse and select Multis and Patches directly from the iPad to instantly change sounds for a new song or live set.

The Orb Page
Omni TR was designed to make the iPad the ideal control surface for Omnisphere’s innovative new ‘Orb’ feature. The ‘Orb’ is both a remarkable sound manipulation tool and an intuitive performance interface — it can be thought of as a ‘circular controller.’ Now with a single gesture, the user can instantly customize the sound in Omnisphere. Best of all, the Orb automatically works with every patch a user has, there’s no setup necessary.

As the Orb moves and orbits around the concentric circles, it morphs between automatically generated parameter scenes in Omnisphere’s STEAM engine in a highly intelligent and musical manner, all patch dependent — manipulating the sound in subtle or radical ways appropriate to that particular patch.

If the user doesn’t like what the Orb has created, a complete new set of manipulations can be chosen by simply rolling the “Dice” button, which instantly creates a brand new group of intelligent sonic modifications and effects to try. There’s no limit to how many serendipitous sonic variations the Orb can create – opening up the vast power of the STEAM engine to every user, regardless of synthesis knowledge.

The tactile experience of moving the cursor around the Orb space on the iPad with a finger to create variations in the sound is remarkably musical. Where standard controllers might change one or two simple parameters in a linear manner, The Orb morphs a host of parameters that are patch specific, and easily changed on-the-fly.

Users can also Record their performance movements directly into the Orb and play the performance back in sync with their controller or host. The Orb’s movements and sonic results are saved within the patch, multi or the host’s session for later recall. The movement of the Orb can also be automated in the user’s host.

Controls Page
The Controls page features a touch-based pitch ribbon performance controller and 8 touch sliders assigned to groups of the most useful performance/editing parameters for each Omnisphere layer.

Jumbo View
The Jumbo page shows large patch names on all 8 parts, easily seen in a live stage performance situation.
