Musicians use big e-ink screen e-readers as music scores

In the performance in the square, he played the guitar freely, attracting many people to watch and clap.

Suddenly, there came a thunder. In such a summer, the heavy rain would come without notification ahead. He said sorry to everyone, and quickly took the equipment off the shelf and put it in his bag.

In fact, of course, his guitar is more important and valuable. But he thought of putting the 13 inch music equipment in his mind for the first time. Because that's a big screen e-reader he's been fascinated with recently. Although it was first an e-reader, it was also a great music score pager with Bluetooth wireless pedal.

It was especially light, much lighter than the tablet he used before. He heard of such a facility from a keyboard player, and with his strong advice, he bought one. And then he liked it.

Except for being light, most importantly, the flexible material used in that screen was not too reflective. That was a device with an electronic ink screen, which is commonly known as electronic paper because it looks similar to traditional paper.

He used to perform with a large number of pieces of paper music scores, and then he changed to the tablet. After all, after electronicized, he could bring a lot more music scores with him. But tablets were always reflective at the time of the show.

With the new device, then, he had finally solved the problem of reflection perfectly.

The story of music players and the music stands

I believe many friends, who are music fans, have seen live or TV playing scenes of a grand symphony orchestra, or a few people's small orchestra, or a solo. After hard training, the performers can often remember a lot of music scores, and can play with memory skillfully.

But this can not deny the meaning of the music scores, especially in the case of very regular precise playing, musicians will also put music stands in front of themselves, and then put the music score to be played on the music rack.

Yes, it is necessary to do so on many occasions. Although improvisation and freestyles are also charming, in many cases, precision is required. That music stands play a significant role. You can see, the conductor is also in front of a big music stand, if the players make mistakes, the conductor does not allow it.

So, from time to time we can see crazy performers turning pages. Because it is necessary to pinch time and accord with the rhythm, If the rhythm is very urgent just when the music score is to be flipped, the player's hand quickly shifts from the instrument to the music rack, and then swipes the page. Although a little flustered, but still skilled. Others think there are some interesting and funny elements, which is also a scenery to play.

Are the electronic music scores really good?

The old tradition has existed for many years, and it must have its reason. First, it must have met the needs of people for so many years, otherwise we would have given up using it early.

The music stand is very mature now, the triangle grip is formed firmly, and the clip can hold the score firmly. These are all for the needs.

Do music scores still need to be electronicized? Before you answer this question, of course, the question is whether the scores can be electronicized?

The answer is, of course yes. Music is the art of sound in time, the strength and weakness of sound, the different musical instrument timbre, the beginning and extension and stop on the time axis can all be sampled and changed into binary information. This is a problem that has been solved by the mature music industry.

What are the benefits of the electronization of music scores? First, if a large number of music scores are printed on paper sheets, the weight is very large. For the performer, it is enough to go out to perform with instruments. In addition, the paper score is indeed a lot of burden.

Moreover, electronic information retrieval is more rapid. In the performance scene, if the musician is busy finding a piece of music in a pile of paper, there may be some problems.

Besides, after all, the use of electronic devices with you is very common now. Musicians are no exception. It is a trend and a smart way to make your work habits and equipment consistent with your own living habits and equipment.

Therefore, the electronization of music scores is an inevitable trend.

Is the big screen ink screen e-reader the salvation of musicians?

Electronic music scores, of course, need electronic equipment to show. From the point of view of portability, notebook or tablet is a natural choice. They can be placed on traditional music stands . In some small performance sites, musicians can put a tablet on their mic stand to show the music score by adding a small bracket.

Of course, the challenge of page turning still exists. Sliding a page on the touch screen is very convenient. If you use Bluetooth, and use a foot flip page remote control, you can release your hands more. It's more convenient. These are all things that ordinary tablets can do.

What better experience can that big screen e-reader bring?

Once a musician who bought a 13.3-inch boox ink screen reader shared his own experience online. He mentioned some advantages, including, lighter and more importantly, on bright stages, the high contrast of the screen is clearer, and the reflection aspect is better than that of the ordinary tablet. Plus the power saving advantage, he thought it's the first choice for musicians who go around to perform.

Don't forget, musicians read books, too

He cleaned up all the equipment before the rain , including his guitar. Then he walked to the nearby mall in time, without being caught in the rain. He went to a coffee shop, bought a cup of coffee, sat down, took out his reader and started to read a novel.
