John,

Congrats on the iPad. Have you looked into UnRealBook in the app store? It will read your converted docs - it may even help convert from Word (need to look back at the release notes) and organize them and let you setup set lists. I also know it will invoke MIDI control messages from a MIDI file named the same as your PDF and send it to your PA if you have your setups already done in SongBook (It's just sending a few cc messages on the control channel you set on the PA). There may also be a MP3 player feature in there.

Maybe Dennis can chime in since he's been successfully been using this setup for a while with his PA2x.

Don's idea of DocumentsToGo is another viable alternative without converting the documents. You may have to do some creative folder setups to organize your music but definitely something to look at without converting the documents.

BTW, Tried a PA800 in SamAsh down in Broward last week. Very nice and some possibilities if I can get over some hurdles with the Touch Screen.

Best,
Vince
