You can use your own sound fonts, the supplied sound fonts, or midi out to your hardware
, in my case the Integra7 and Ketron SD1000 plus..

The other App I use for all types of file playback , edits, lyrics is Winlive Pro ( $3.49)..

Check these two out... they have my stamp of approval grin


My everyday carry phone is much more... it is my best back up with great apps in the music department..

As an example... for you guys that are getting lazy as you get older grin, I could take my phone and my Marantz Voice Rover .. and do a senior gig... battery powered and no wires... Bluetooth.. Wireless mic.

Set up time 20 seconds..



Why the aversion against apple?

For professional music apps, (except sheet readin) google is no good option..
95% of the stuff you really really want is only available on apple..
And there is good reasons for that..(which been discussed many times before)

You either choose a windows tablet or an ipad if you want a mobile device ready for serious music creation and production.

Oh and the ipad is cheeper then most windows tablets capable of handling serious music production..


Google as done nothing at all in the last 5 years for tablets, they concentrate onbile phones only. Sure if you want sheet music reading and internet browsing and google tablet will do, but its better not to go beyound that.



I do not have a dislike for quality music programs .. be it android or Apple..

Apple interest is making money.. no updates, they want you to upgrade.. And look at the history of iTunes.. I don't ever want Apple to have the control they have over their customers..

I am inclined to disagree with you about Apple overwhelming Android in music programs..

Apple folks have a tendency to look past the many short comings of ios and only look at the positives..

Just preferences... I will keep PC and Android..
