techtot Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 On all the new units with the touch screen I assumed they would have some sort of music tab display functionality (given that it is color and that Yamaha has it). I have not been able to find this functionality. Could I hook up a computer via USB and put a small screen there that will show the notes as played and show music scores for songs being played back? This would assist my kids. Does anyone know of good / low cost software for this? Any help appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techtot Posted December 16, 2015 Author Share Posted December 16, 2015 I mostly answered my question myself. There is a bazillion apps that will display scores/notes , etc using the MIDI standard..so I will just use an external monitor I guess. Stil would like to see it built in though? Whats the resolution on the screen? Maybe it's not good enough? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Display Name Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 No this isn't a feature of the CGP-700, although some other beginner and intermediate Casios have that. Honestly, I think the software is a better way to go for a couple of reasons. 1- You can choose the software that works best for your needs and aren't stuck with one option.2- The position of a monitor or tablet trains players to look forward where printed sheet music would be, not straight down at the screen. Just an FYI: If you are an iPad user, there are several apps out there for this as well and maybe easier to set-up right on the music rest. Kids seem to like iPad more , too. You will need to purchase a $30 Apple Camera Connection kit to connect the CGP-700 to the ipad (as well as a standard USB printer cable).
