Yes Scott, I have tried that on the T4 I had for a while...nowhere near as flexible, or quick imo....it was not as intuitive, as easy, flexible or quick as using a dedicated chart organising app as UB....and it required more pre-configuring as well... Overall I found it was WAY more clunky on the T4 and nowhere near as quick and easy...Also really difficult to run on a setlist (playlist) basis... I know this works REALLY well for me is rock solid and requires very VERY little preparation, especially with the PAsCo app....I can have a chart linked and ready to go in about 30 seconds!! And I get 10 hours use on battery from the iPad With careful use...ie putting the iPad ionto standby between sets, or when not needed, I can get just on three gigs (my gigs are 3-4 hours)from one full battery charge. My UB list is at about 600 songs, so I have a LONG way to go to reach 9,999 Dennis

Do I suspect a little "well I use Yamaha so therefore it MUST be a better system" theme in your post Scott???? - but maybe not, so I will let it pass...Dennis Hi Dennis No, I didn't intend that one is better than the other, just that the same basic idea can be accomplished on both. I could have worded that a little better I think. I'm actually considering adding a Korg to my T4.haha It's good to hear your comparison between the Tyros and Korg. For me, rather than play by a set list, I like to have songs in categories so if I think of a song I can go directly to that genre foler. Or, if I want to play a Latin I go to that folder and pick the one that strikes me at the moment. I'm pretty much an on the fly kind of player. Anyway, this is great info to get out there because I think most players didn't realize it existed. That was also my intention of letting Yamaha people know they could do something along the lines you're talking about. I have emailed Michael Bedesem, the creator of Open Text to see if he thinks the Unreal Book app would work on a Yamaha.

I had emailed Michael Bedesem about using a PSR or Tyros registration to open a pdf on and ipad using the Unreal Book. Here is his answer. Can anyone add more info on this.
He also suggested "Google “ sending midi to Ipad “ , without quotes." As a novice, I will probably not understand what I would be reading. If anyone could help on this I'd sure appreciated it.
"
If what you are asking is: could the PSR send a midi to the Ipad, which in turn brings up a pdf? That is, the PSR is still the initiator.
The Ipad would have to accept midi, and the program that processed it would have to be able to open a pdf reader (or a text program ) with the file loaded.
I have seen some web statements about non-WiFi midi input (“Users can also connect the iO Dock to their Mac or PC using the USB port to send MIDI back and forth for creative, new applications of the iPad ..).
I do not know about the pdf, but I think l opening a text window or passing a filename to a text reader would be possible.
So, given that the midi connection is viable, yes, it seems possible.
Regards,
Michael"
