It would be sweet to have a MIDI springboard and some reasonable software to go with it.

Imagine, if you will, working up all of your songs for a gig in Cakewalk, Cubase, whatever, and then sending them over to your visor. At the show, you simply take your visor and all of the required samplers, keyboards, and whatnot and hook it all up.

When it's time to play, pull up your playlist on the visor, tap go, and do it! Maybe it even has an audio out for metronome to the drummer...

I would also like a springboard musical device. I was waiting forever for the Palm Parrot. It was never released. Maybe there will be a Springboard Parrot.

if we're gonna make a whole springboard for just midi, the least we could have it do is mods and s3ms which are like midi's but have much better sound...

Mods, s3ms...the problem here is the storage space. The nice thing about MIDI is that you can set up the actual commands in an extremely small file, then have it command a keyboard that has the *BIG* high quality samples. MODs et al include the samples as part of the file, so you would always be limited by your sample space. So as a professional addon the MIDI would be superb, whereas consumers would probably prefer MODs. Do to the sound quality and niche market that MODs would address, though, I doubt someone would bring a product to market to play them. On the other hand, a MIDI-enabled Visor could have a lot of application for a lot of musicians. Bet it'll be extremely expensive though if anyone ever makes one!

Thumbs up

Yes!!! I cast my vote for a MIDI Springboard. I would also like Finale or Sibelius or another notational program on a Springboard. I always have thought that a pen device would be the optimal way to write scores.
