Using Android tablet for song lyrics via wireless or bluetooth

What is the best way to connect a wireless or bluetooth android tablet to display song lyrics in GP.

2

Help me,

what should the android table do in Gig Performer?

3

just display song lyrics synced with GP. Iā€™m just a newbie at this but thought that I could connect a tablet for lyrics via MIDI. Sounds like this is still being developed.

If you run an app like MobileSheets on your Android device that displays lyrics, you can certainly send a MIDI message to it from GP to switch to the appropriate song.

You can get some ideas here. See apps such as Mobile Sheets or Band Helper.

Read a little about MobileSheets. I just read about BandHelper also.

I use Mobile sheets and have pdf charts on the device. (I would never want to rely on wifi for that).

I use a bluetooth pedal to turn pages, but some people have raised concerns with using bluetooth for this.

(My set up is not too advanced because certain limitations in my hardware, so I have to change songs on Mobilesheets, in Gig Performer, and my hardware keyboard separately, but many people have them all linked. I will let them comment on this).

I use an iPad for lyrics and quite a bit more. The iPad is my main controller, and when setup is complete, I never have to touch the PC again. The iPad handles lyrics and all the midi commands anyone would ever need. The iPad program I use is called OnSong.
