For more, check out the iReal B app page on the app store. You can also email, print or post to the forum any chart from within the app (I’ve use it to email chord charts to people and to print from my iPad – very handy).įor any jazz musician or student, this is one of the few apps that I can genuinely state is a must buy. I also bought the Latin style pack and it’s wonderful. Some of the style packs will cost a few bucks extra for the play-along, but it comes with the Jazz pack pre-installed. You can organize charts by title, composer or style. It is so fast and easy that I could simply hammer my bass line with my left hand while transposing the tune with my right hand all within the span of a bar or two (once I figured out what key he was in, that is). I’ve actually transposed the tune on a gig WHILE playing the tune once I realized a few beats in that the guitarist started in a different key. This is immensely helpful when playing with singers or when someone just calls a tune in a different key. The second coolest feature (but possibly most useful on the bandstand) is the ability to transpose ANY chart to ANY key very quickly with the press of a button. In short, this feature ALONE makes it more than worth the price of admission. For example, if you want to practice a tune, simply pull up the chart, hit the note icon and you are presented with a pop-up which allows you to choose the style, tempo (also with tap tempo), number of times you want the song to repeat, number of bars to count in, a button to export the playalong file as a WAV or AAC (VERY cool) and a mixer to turn up, down or off the piano, guitar, bass, drums and reverb level. You can set your tempo, style and use sliders to change the volume of accompanying instruments. While it is easy enough to make a detailed chart on your iPad, the iPhone screen real-estate makes it a bit challenging so I would suggest doing it on the web or desktop editor.Ī recent addition to the app is a “Band-in-a-box” style play-along feature that is just plain amazing. The website also provides you with an online chart editor (to make your own through the site) or a downloadable (free) application for your Mac. There is a built in editor so you can make your own charts from within the app. Problem solved!Įssentially, it simply displays the chord chart to any tune pre-installed or any tune you wish to add. In fact there is a sticky post in the jazz section of the forum which will automatically load 1,200 standards to the app when clicked from within the app. One of the beautiful things about this app is the app forum (which is accessible within the app) in which thousands of users had already uploaded charts they had made themselves as well as backups of their entire library so it is actually quite easy to just find the old Real Book charts in one file, which you can simply click and all of the contained charts will be loaded and stored for future use! Pretty cool. The Amazon Appstore and the Google Play Store are operated by separate companies, they do not transfer app purchases between each other.But there is a work-around to this problem… doc to irb Originally Posted by Moon I have hundreds of song lyrics (with chords) in Word files and I'd like to put them in my iPad with the same format that the Real Book uses. (Make sure you delete after you have them imported.) You will need to make a first (test) post to get approved, then can upload your backup or songs to download. On your PC, open iReal Pro, tap/click on the Forums icon (Globe icon at the top of the Library), sign in, then you can navigate to the thread in the Sandbox. You need to be registered at the forum, sign in, then post to the thread. Please read the information in the first post before you upload. To transfer your songs from your existing device or backup, please use the Sandbox for now (this is temporary) using only this specific thread: (Microsoft is working on fixing this issue, due in 2023). You can import songs/playlists from the iReal Pro Forums.Ĭurrently you can't import songs/playlists from Mail or Dropbox. Import songs/playlists/backup on Windows: IAP's (Blues and Salsa styles) are currently not available (Microsoft: coming 2023)
